How I Manage my List of Where I Post Articles OnlineWritten by Dr. Lynella Grant

3. Organizing Addresses on List I consider Ezine Announcer, http://tinyurl.com/53wo9 invaluable for posting articles. Its auto-fill feature completes online submission forms easily. And it does a good job sending customized email submissions. But I find its most important use to be mailing list management. My own submission list exceeds 1000 addresses, so it became too difficult to keep organized and updated. Ezine Announcer comes with 1700 addresses included (plus purchasers receive future up-dates). That’s a good start if you haven’t developed your own list already. However, I found that my own tested list was much more extensive for topics where I submit most. By merging my list with that one (and eliminating overlap) I’ve now got best of both. And they’re arranged logically. Customized Categories Save Posting Time Ezine Announcer has several general categories (like Article Directory) and numerous narrow topics (like Finance or Health). It’s a simple matter to move an address from one category to another, or to add additional categories. I split Article Directory into several parallel directories, which simplifies posting. Reorganizing categories further streamlined posting process - saving hours on each article. New Directory Categories - My A list (and high Google Page Rank) - Password required (which tend to have more complications) - Submit by email - Must exchange links - Special requirements - Many topics (not primarily business) - Troubled sites (below) When I encounter a site with problems (temporarily down, weird error messages) I move it into troubled category. They can be checked or removed later. But such irregularities no longer delay posting process. And I can deal with them when convenient.
