Why Aren't You Writing Ezine Articles?

Written by Michael Southon


Continued from page 1

Let's compare Ezine Articles with two other, highly-rated promotion techniques: Search Engine Listings and Ezine Publishing.

A Search Engine listing is essentially a 'passive'approach to marketing. You still have to wait for people to search on your keywords. Ezine Articles are much more 'pro-active'; your articles land right inrepparttar middle of dozens or hundreds of different Ezines. With Ezine Articles you're not waiting for people to find you - you're going out there and finding them.

Let's say you publish an Ezine that has 2 or 3thousand readers. Each week, your website URL and your name are going to 2,000 to 3,000 people. Even if your subscriber-base is growing by 5% per month, basically you're reachingrepparttar 129428 same audience each issue. Butimagine you write an Article that gets published in 30 Ezines that each have a readership of 2000 people. You've now reached 60,000 people!

The possibilities with Ezine Articles are enormous.

Many people feel unable to write. You may be one of them. Butrepparttar 129429 fact is, anyone can write an Ezine Article. You must have seen those 'Tips' Articles that look like a shopping list of things to do? They're very popular amongst Ezine Publishers. Every week I see half-a-dozen of them. Sorepparttar 129430 fact is, if you canwrite a shopping list, you can write an Ezine Article!

At this point you may be saying to yourself: "But I'm not an expert - who would be interested in my Articles?".

The answer is: "Lots of people!".

If you've been running an online business for 6 months, or even just for 3 or 4 months, you now know many things that you didn't when you first started. Imagine if you could have hadrepparttar 129431 knowledge you nowhave when you first began!

So for someone who has just ventured ontorepparttar 129432 Web, your experience and knowledge could be extremely useful. And remember -repparttar 129433 Internet is growing so fast, there are masses of people who know much less than you do.

More than 5 million Americans joinedrepparttar 129434 online world inrepparttar 129435 first three months of 2000, which averages toroughly 55,000 new users each day, 2,289 new users each hour, or 38 new users each minute!

So if you learn this technique, there's a huge marketwaiting for you.

10 Tips For Promoting Through Ezine Articles

Written by Michael Southon


Continued from page 1

(B) Publishing Your Ezine Articles:

(6) There are two ways of getting your articles published: 'Individual Submissions' and 'General Distribution'.

'General Distribution' will get your article in front of many more readers, per unit of effort expended, than 'Individual Submission', and I suggest you use this method before making Individual Submissions.

There are basically two kinds of 'General Distribution': Announcement Lists and websites.

Here are some Article Announcement Lists:

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

Here are some Websites that provide Free Content to Ezine Publishers:

http://216.147.104.180/articles/submit.shtml http://www.ezinearticles.com/ http://www.ideamarketers.com/ http://www.isyndicate.com/ http://www.mediapeak.com http://www.MakingProfit.com/articles/ http://www.web-source.net/articlesub.htm

(7) Once you've used these 'General Distribution' techniques, then submit your article to individual Ezines.

However, before making individual submissions, find out (a) ifrepparttar Ezine Publisher accepts article submissions, (b) whatrepparttar 129426 Publisher's guidelines are for article submissions.

My free Ezine Directory gives you this information, 'The Free Directory of Ezines':

http://www.netmastersolutions.com/

I have also produced an eBook called 'Get Published! The Directory of Ezines that accept Article Submissions' and you can download it free at:

http://www.netmastersolutions.com/getpub.html

(8) Format your article to 65 characters per line and make sure it contains no spelling mistakes. Withrepparttar 129427 availability of spell-checkers there's really no excuse for spelling mistakes. If your article does contain spelling mistakes, many Publishers will just discard your article.

(9) Don't submit articles torepparttar 129428 same Ezine Publisher more than once a month.

(10) Addressrepparttar 129429 Ezine Publisher personally, and make sure thatrepparttar 129430 message accompanying your article is very courteous - you're askingrepparttar 129431 Publisher to read your article and give you some of her valuable time and she probably gets dozens of article submissions a week.

Every success to you!
