Enjoying your time on Facebook needn't be a problem, if you use the time you spend on it wisely. It's addicting, but it can be put to very good use. Facebook is one more tool you can take advantage of when you need to produce lots of Internet articles quickly. It is also a great way to increase traffic to your work.

*Transitioning to new articles: There isn't a writer known who doesn't faithfully get immersed fully in their topic. Immersion is a good thing, as it increases detail that might otherwise be overlooked. Once the article is finished, the information still runs rampant in your brain. How do you quickly transition so you can change gears to write your next article? Enter Facebook, with all of its wonderful enticements!

Facebook is a great way to debrief yourself, releasing and transitioning from the intensity of your thoughts. Playing games that challenge you, taking quizzes that divert your thoughts to other matters, and even chatting with friends within limits can all be used as ways to transition to new material, allowing you to provide fresh content that doesn't sound monotonous.

*Get ideas for new articles: Your friends are telling you what's on their minds on Facebook every moment of the day. They are looking for easier ways to clean their homes and make money. They want advice on how to calm down their kids or put a new spark in their marriages. Many of them share their work with you, work that can be a source of new writing information.

Give the people what they want. Don't just write those new articles. Tailor them to meet the needs of those who are asking for them. Then link them to your Facebook profile. Appreciate the feedback, and continue to find new ideas for future articles, all through the natural act of developing relationships with your friends.

One word of caution is in order here. Any article you write based on the inspiration of your friends must be written in second or their person, and can never name the source of your inspiration. Your articles are meant to be informative and relative, not accusatory or filled with the latest gossip.

*Attract a bigger audience for your work: Everything you post on Facebook (or anywhere else on the Internet) has the potential to make its way all over the internet. As your name gets out there, you will attract more followers who appreciate the work you do. Use Facebook to link your work, but don't overdo it. You can post links to everything you do in your information section, but if you're writing six or seven article a day, and that's all you post on Facebook, your friends may feel a little bombarded. Think about them, and treat your relationships with respect. That's how you can use Facebook to your greatest benefit.
