If you’re using article marketing to drive free traffic to your web site you’re probably very close to having your own digital product you can sell online. What kind of product? Special reports that are about 7-15 pages in size. Small enough to be put together more quickly than you might think, but large enough to create value that people will pay for.

While an article used to promote your product or service might be just a bunch of words, it also has a life beyond what most people think.
