Introduction

This can be as short as one sentence. Your goal here is to tell your readers what they can expect in your article. Get their attention.

The Body

Be interesting.

It has been said that God feeds birds of air, but He doesn’t drop it into their nests. The food is out there in amazing and unfathomable abundance, but they have to go out and get it. They have to go look for it, recognize it as food when they see it, capture it, and eat it. They have to be able to know what is good to eat and what isn’t. Bugs and seeds are nutritious and good to eat. Dryer lint and broken glass are not. Some of that knowledge is pre-programmed instinct. Some of it is learned. The bird works long and hard for its food, often spending most of its day doing little or nothing else. If bird is a parent, usually a mom, then it must also bring food back to nest for children. Even though it might appear that children just sit and wait for food to be dropped into their mouths, closer investigation reveals intense competition for food. The baby with biggest mouth and loudest chirp gets mom’s attention and therefore food. In some species, oldest and biggest literally shoves youngest and smallest out of nest, thereby removing that source of competition forever. Those who work hardest survive; those who kick back don’t.

So it is in world of internet marketing. The opportunities are out there in amazing and unfathomable abundance, but you have to go out and get them. No one is going to drop riches into your lap (or laptop!). No matter how much you might want to believe it, you cannot sign up for some “join free” program and then just sit back, do nothing, and watch money pile up in your bank account! Think about it for a minute. If everyone joined for free and then did nothing, where is money going to come from?
