As you perhaps already know, article submissions can drive a huge amount of traffic
to your web site for months if not years. The first step is obviously to get a
good article written, with a suitable resource box at the end containing a link
to your site to drive traffic to your site. But without submitting your article
effectively, all this hard work will be of little benefit.
In this article, you're going to find out exactly how to submit your articles
in exactly the same way as people like Terry Dean, Joe Vitale, and Jim Edwards
have done before you.
And there's no reason why you can't achieve a similar level of success with
your own article submissions.
There are three main distribution channels for your articles that you should
concentrate on:
1. Ezine Editors
You need to find editors who publish ezines in the same 'category' as your
article - for example, if your expertise, and your web site, focuses on gardening,
you should be submitting your articles to editors of ezines in the same genre
(of course, only if they accept article submissions).
To build up your list, you need to scour ezine directories (see the list at
http://www.submityourarticle.com/course/ezinedirectories.php) for ezines within
your genre, check each ezine to see if they accept article submissions, and
then double check with each editor to confirm that their details are correct,
and that they still accept article submissions - you will unfortunately find
many of the listings are out of date, and some ezines are no longer published
at all for whatever reason.
2. Announcement Lists
Another way to contact hundreds, if not thousands, of potential publishers,
is through what we call article announcement lists.
An article announcement list is a type of mailing list that concentrates on
article submissions. The subscribers of the mailing list are either publishers
looking for content, providers of that content (i.e. article writers such as
yourself), or possibly both.
Every article you submit to these lists get sent to all of the subscribers
of that list - by submitting to multiple lists, you're effectively sending out
your article to thousands of potential publishers.
You can find a listing of suitable article announcement lists at http://www.submityourarticle.com/course/announce.php.
3. Article Directories
There are numerous such article directories on the web that allow you to submit
your articles, and allow subsequent retrieval by publishers. I've located several
of them, as listed at http://www.submityourarticle.com/course/articledirectories.php
After submitting an article to some of these, I'm often amazed at the amount
of instant traffic and sales it can bring, often because many of the directories
display a 'Recent Articles'-type listing which dramatically improves the profile
of your article for a short period after your submission.
I've now shown you exactly how to go about submitting your article all over
the Internet, exactly the same methods used by people who are now considered
to be 'gurus' on the Internet. Yes, it can be hard work - but who said success
was easy?
