What next? Put your article to work – again and again. Of course, you would submit it to an article directory or post it on your blog.

But don’t stop there. That one article can become a stream of content to help promote you and your business.

Here are 10 ideas to get you started:

1. Read you article aloud and record it into an mp3 file. Submit the audio to AssociatedContent.com.

2. Take the mp3 audio and create a slideshow presentation around it. Share the slideshow in AssociatedContent.com or Slideshare.net.

3. Turn your slideshow into a video. If you created the slideshow in PowerPoint, you’ll need software to transform it to a video format. Upload your video to YouTube and other video sharing sites.

4. Take pieces of your article to create a Squidoo page or several.

5. Create an audio podcast with your mp3 recording.

6. Make a video podcast with your video.

7. Break the article into an e-course to be delivered through your autoresponder.

8. Got related articles you’ve already written? Put them together into a special report or ebook.

9. Use part of your article to respond to questions in Yahoo! Answers and discussion forums in your niche.

10. Snip your article into value-laden Twitter tweets.

There you go, 10 different ways to use a single article – and you haven’t even had to spin or rewrite it.
