5. Write Your Resource Box Many authors struggle with this part, but there really is no need.

The resource box goes right at end of your article, and provides some information about author. Think about reader of article - they want to know more about who wrote article.

I include a bit of information about myself, and provide a link to one of my web sites that has some relevance to article. Ideally a resource box should be brief and contain just two or three sentences. For an example, see resource box at end of this article.

Some authors attempt to cram resource box with more than one link. Rather than achieving more promotional power from their article, it actually has reverse effect by turning off publisher, who may have otherwise published your article, and confusing reader.

6. Leave It Alone In my experience, this is most essential stage. I save my article and leave it completely alone for at least a couple of days. So many people are impatient and do not do this, but I find it to be essential in boosting my chances of publication.

The idea is that you come back to it with completely fresh, but critical, eyes. This works like magic for helping to transform a fairly mediocre article with low chances of publication, to a high quality article that is more likely to get picked up by a large number of publishers and reward you with a flood of publicity.

7. The Final Edit I open up my article again and read it. I usually spot parts of my article that do not flow very well, paragraphs that can be improved or condensed, sentences with words missing, and typos. This is where I polish up my article and ensure it all flows really well.

I have seen many articles that have obviously never gone through this stage, and they will only have a very slim chance of publication. Some minor editing would have improved them immensely. It really is worth that extra bit of effort to get your article up to scratch, otherwise all your hard work in writing article will be wasted.

3. Article Directories

There are numerous such article directories on 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 amount of instant traffic and sales it can bring, often because many of directories display a 'Recent Articles'-type listing which dramatically improves 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 Internet, exactly same methods used by people who are now considered to be 'gurus' on Internet. Yes, it can be hard work - but who said success was easy?
