The very first and most important step is to write a useful article. Sure, there's always something for everyone, but analyzing how big an audience any given topic has is crucial to an article's success. Consider certain subjects for the right time, such as Halloween, as well as any upcoming holiday season.

Once you have your audience figured out, go for that extra mile. Create an e-mail signature that links to all of your published articles. If you're one who sends multiple e-mails every day, you're in luck.

Join websites such as http://stumbleupon.com. Here you can post anything for the world to see; This site is about discovering OTHER websites of your tastes. By the way, this source is highly popular, attracting over 3, 500,000 users so far. Go ahead, send the world those bright articles you've written.

Another popular site you can join is http://www.digg.com. Think of this as a user-supported source mainly focused on anything hip, such as current events and technology. If you believe your articles truly stand out, go on and impress your fellow readers. They're waiting for this.

Who would forget about http://www.myspace.com? With over 100 million users, it is by far one of the best places to promote yourself... or your articles. If you're familiar with the site, you'd know you can post "bulletins", or news, that your friends/network can read. Post an "article of the day" every single day, and you'll have people hooked on these in no time. After all, you ARE giving them something fun to read.

If you have a blog, use it wisely. Create an "educational" section and implement it as part of your page. Eventually you'll have other bloggers collaborating here, and this could be your chance to post a new article every day.
