Where To Submit Articles

Where to Submit Your Articles

There are many places on the net where you can upload your articles so they’ll get picked up by publishers. Some are free and some make you pay for exposure. Let’s look at the most common article marketing depots:

Ezine Articles

When you get an account at www.EzineArticles.com, you’ll start out having to go through a process where your articles take about a week to get approved. After 10 accepted submissions, you get faster approval because you’ve proven yourself to the editors. You’re only allowed to link to your site in your Bio Box. It’s free to get an author’s account with Ezine Articles.

How to say thank you for saving my life.

Publishers love the articles there because they’ve been carefully reviewed so that they don’t appear like Spam or blatant selfpromotion. Once your article is approved, it stays in the cycle of articles for six months. Ezine Articles has an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed to alert website owners and ezine publishers that there’s new content available within their niche. Plus, many are on an email list to receive notification right to their inboxes.

Go Articles

A faster way of getting your articles available to publishers is to use www.GoArticles.com. This is also a free service, and unlike Ezine Articles, you’re allowed to post affiliate links directly within the main text of the article. Article marketing will spike your traffic temporarily, but you always want to continue providing fresh content to the various article directories.

You should have your site ready to convert the traffic into sales. This coverage isn’t just about getting the one time conversion, however. Becoming an expert author in your field means branding yourself as the primary “go-to” person in your niche. This lends credibility to you and allows you to partner up with others in the industry for joint ventures.

Direct Marketing

Not all article marketing is done through a distribution service. You may find a list of Ezines that cater to your niche and contact the publisher directly for exposure to their readers. You can offer to provide free content in exchange for them allowing you to include a Bio Box or your links directly within the article itself. You can invest in a list of Ezines and find your niche at http://www.ezine-dir.com/. Or, do a search for ezine directories.

Other Article Distributors

New article directories are popping up all the time. Some are gaining in popularity. You can use a combination of directories to saturate the market with your text and ultimately maximize your potential for traffic and sales. Here’s a list of more article directories you can use:

You can perform a Google search for the key phrase, “article directory” and find out what new sites have sprung up that you can become a contributor of content to. Some authors like to slightly change each article for individual sites rather than submit the same one to every directory. Or, use a submission service such as Article Marketer that will submit your articles to hundreds of directoires saving you hours of time.

A Last Word About Article Marketing

The best thing about having your articles distributed is that they usually stay online forever. With other advertising, such as Pay Per Click marketing, your exposure stops when you stop paying the fee. I recommend you use a nom de plume (pen name). You may want to Google a combination of first and last names in quotation marks until you find one with no matches. When you find one, you can use it as your pen name and make it simple for you to track the publication of your submissions.

More than anything, you want to position your links on sites and in front of readers where the click-through rate will be high and the relevancy golden, according to what search engine spiders are looking for. Your next step in tapping into the well of online income is to start using your online forum participation to generate sales. If you post strategically, the links in your forum signature can be an absolute goldmine.
