10 Best Places To Submit Your Ezine Article Free
By far the best technique for getting traffic, building a strong affiliate program, and building both credibility and sales is writing and submitting free articles on your topic of interest.
Now anyone can write an article, very few people can write articles that are in-demand, that really get picked up by ezine publishers and result in a flood of traffic to your website.
Two great resources for you to help write magnetic articles that attract a flood of traffic and sales:
How To Make Writing Articles Payoff!
And The Best Guidebook On Writing Power-Packaged Articles Online Bar None -
What do you need to write powerful, money-generating articles?
1. A Great Topic and Title. Just as ebooks, books or any other product will not sell if it is not focused on a passionate, obsessive desire - so to must your article.
2. Keep it short and to the point. Don't over-inform. Have a point,
explain it up front and give the reader what they want in less than 800 words.
3. Put links to your website into the article, as well as in your resource box following the article.
People have learned to ignore resource boxes, but one well-placed link in the body of an article can result in massive clickthru's
4. Submit to the best directories - AND request notification so you can see who is publishing your articles, what the response is. If response is good, you will want to get permission from the publisher to send out future articles directly to them.
Not all will agree, but most will - that's how you build your very own
HOT publisher's list.
Some of my favorite article directories are:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/article_announce/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aabusiness/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Free-Content/
Article Central
Jogena Article Directory
Zinos Article Directory
Web-Source Article Directory
Ezine Articles
Go Articles
How To Advice
Author Connection
5. Write consistently - at least 2 articles each month. For more results, write more frequently.
Some weeks will be slow, others will boggle your mind - no matter what,keep writing.
If you have tried article writing, but it just hasn't worked - then pick up Jim's ebook - "Turn Words Into Traffic"
It does work, and the best part is that once an article is published it usually stays online for months - even years, bringing you traffic over and over again.

Perhaps I could modestly refer to my own "Article Tips" site here? I offer a free email course, with advice on "Writing Effective Articles and Getting Them Published".
Thanks ...

Great article Jeff. Writing ezine articles can also be very profitable in direct sales. Just one recent article that I wrote generated over $5000 in commissions in about 10 days... and it's still producing.
I'm lazy, so I use article distribution services. I recently interviewed Debbie Solomon and Sara Hardy of EzineTrendz.com (one of the services I use). It was about 45 minutes and covered a number of things that I had not previously thought of such as why some ezine publishers would be MORE inclined to use an article submitted by one of these services.
You can grab a free copy of the PDF transcripts of that interview at:

I've written roughly 300 articles over the years and have submitted many of them through article submission services. This is also the perfect way to generate thousands of one-way links to your favorite site or project.

Thanks Willie.
I definitely see your articles everywhere, it's
great that you would share some information on how
you get such widespread distribution.
You are right - this is a service that will certainly
let anyone build their list and sales fast.
Cheers...
