Write and submit Articles to EZines and Newsletters

This is probably more effective then all other efforts combined.

It costs almost nothing and brings BIG results. I said almost because there can be some time involved.

There are millions of ezines and newsletters and online publications.

And guess what - every editor is always, always interested in good new articles.

The easiest thing is, if you write about something that you are very familiar with. But it be should at least something that really interests you.

So, pick a subject and do some research on the major search engines. Note whatever seems interesting and all the links that you find. Especially those resources with free or more detailed information.

Now you need to come up with a good headline. The best bet is to scan through some newspapers. What catches your eye? Take your subject and merge that with the ideas for your headline.

Remember, unless your headline is worth researching, your article wont be read!

For example, which would you rather read;
Learn how to earn money on the Internet or
Grandmother from Nebraska makes $35,000/month at Home ?

Then just sit down and write an article using your knowledge and the notes from your research. Write it from your heart, make it personal and let it touch your readers heart.

Use plain English. No fancy words and no self-promotion. If you subscribe to a couple of ezines and read the articles, you will quickly get a feeling.

Add your contact information to the end of the article (Byline). Here you may also offer a special or a free something. Brief and not more than six lines. But do not include a direct sales pitch or an affiliate link. Your potential publisher just will not publish the article if it looks like straight advertising.

After you read your article a couple times, found and corrected the errors, you are ready to publish it. I suggest writing it one day, reading it for 3 days and spell checking it for another, then you are ready to publish!

You can submit your article to announcement lists:

aabusiness@egroups.com
article_announce-subscribe@egroups.com
free-content-subscribe@onelist.com
publishinyours-subscribe@onelist.com
articles_archives-subscribe@egroups.com

And there are a lot of sites that focus on ezine articles. Here are a few:

http://www.ezinearticles.com/
http://www.ideamarketers.com/
http://www.isyndicate.com/
http://www.mediapeak.com
http://www.web-source.net/articlesub.htm

These gerenral announcements work. But better is if you contact publishers directly. Talk to the owner, editor or upper manager. Let them know who you are and what you want to achieve by placing your articles in their ezines. Find a way to trade inforamtion so your business receive some lucrative promotion from the win-win situation!

During your research you hopefully already found some publications, that may be interested in your article. You should build up your own list of publications that reach your target market, and submit frequently for best results.

You can even offer to write a special "first run" article for publications that have a very large circulation. These articles are sought out al the time!

If you master this technique you can get your name and your website in front of 100,000 or even millions of readers.
