Your List for Article Submissions isrepparttar 108675 Crucial Link that Makes it Work

1. Expandingrepparttar 108676 List

I spend at least as much time each week tweaking my list as writing articles to post. As I travelrepparttar 108677 Internet, my antenna stays tuned for suitable websites and ezines.

Assessing Websites - Is this a quality, visitor-friendly site? - That’s totally subjective - but if not, I won’t send articles there - Does it reachrepparttar 108678 readers I write for? - Does it use articles? If so, are they by authors unaffiliated withrepparttar 108679 site? - Is there a submission form or author guidelines?

Their authors are considered. Am I familiar with their work? Is it worthwhile? Sometimes I Google an author’s name to see what else they’ve written and where it appears. Often I discover a slew of appropriate websites unknown to me.

I regularly query search engines for targeted keywords, orrepparttar 108680 group I want to reach (chiropractors). From those results, I use Google’s "Search within Results" feature and type in phrases like, "Submit Article" or "Newsletters." That links me directly to possible candidates. I won’t include a site without visiting a website and feeling that it’s a match.

Whenever someone requests permission to post an article of mine I offer similar (and future) ones also. They found me! That’s another emotional payback from posting articles.

2. Culling and Upgrading Listed Sites

Starting a week after posting an article, I query Google withrepparttar 108681 title (in quotes) inrepparttar 108682 search box. I notice where it shows up, then re-check regularly. Results are logged for each article. When it appears on websites not already on my list, they’re added.

Requests to be removed fromrepparttar 108683 list are honored immediately. Addresses for undelivered submissions are updated or removed.

Tests have been conducted and Ross-Simons' Internet Marketing Director Anne Driscoll said "We tested HTML when years ago just like everybody else, and it was four-times as effective as text. However now we're testing to see if text can convey an urgency that's not necessarily there in HTML." Turns out it's "as effective or even more effective than standard HTML" for an urgent reminder that a sale is about to end. "It's less to do with deliverability and more to do withrepparttar 108682 way a customer interprets a message," notes Anne.1 What'srepparttar 108683 difference? When you see colored text, graphics, words that are underlined (besides hyperlinks), bold text, etc., in an email, you are looking at an HTML email message. HTML allows you a variety of ways to format your message text, graphics and color. A plain text message looks like something written in a basic text editor. Notepad, which comes loaded with your PC’s operating system, is a great editor for sending text messages. Most professionals who send text messages use Notepad to edit their copy. "Both formats can work very well in email marketing. A well-written text message without any graphics can perform very well and deliver results. Text messages are easy to create and closely followrepparttar 108684 format of a professional sales letter which many marketers are already familiar with. HTML campaigns can capture their audience with a few well-placed visual focus points." "Well-written copy sells better than weaker copy with fancy graphics. If you’re new to online marketing, my suggestion is to start with text. If you really want to use HTML, you need a good designer. Collect some examples of HTML email advertisements you have responded to and model your campaign after them."2
