Top 10 reasons to write and submit articles

you will become known as an expert on the subjects

you write about. This will give you and your business

extra credibility which will help you establish a lead

over your competition.

2. You'll brand your web site, business and yourself

by submitting your articles to directories and ezines

which accept article submissions. You could include

your name, business name, your credentials, web site

address and e-mail address in your resource box to make

it easier for anyone who reads the article to contact

you, or visit your online store, or service.

3. You will get FREE advertising. This will allow you to

spend your profits on other forms of advertising. You

could buy advertisements in other e-zines that don't

publish your articles. Obviously it's better to contact

these ezine owners first though and offer them your

free reprint articles to use.

4. You might get extra exposure if the e-zine publisher

archives their e-zine on their site. People might want

to read the back issues before they make the decision

to subscribe. If your name pops up several times in

the archives, then this visitor will already be familiar

enough to maybe join your ezine, but will already trust

you as an expert.

5. If an ezine publisher picks up Your article, it

might also be placed on the publisher's home page.

If they publish each issue on their home page this

will give you some extra exposure. Some publishers

post all their previous issues in an archive, and some

will publish them in a blog format, meaning they will

be promoting your website etc. when they promote the

issue containing your article.

6. You might get extra income from people wanting to

hire you to write other articles, books, or even ask to

speak at seminars. This is a great way to multiply your

income. With all the private lable article sites springing

up daily, there is a lot of content needed to fill

the demand, your article writing skills could attract

some of these to your door.

7. You could allow e-zine publishers to publish your

articles in their FREE e-books. Since people give them

away, your advertising could multiply all over the

internet. This form of viral marketing will get your

name seen all over the place, and your articles and

resource box onto a lot of peoples pc's

8. You could get your article guaranteed to run in

an e-zine. You could agree to run one of their articles

in your e-zine if, in exchange, they run yours in their

e-zine. It's a win/win situation.

9. You'll gain people's trust. If they read your article

and like it, they won't be as hesitant to buy your

product or service. You will then be able to increase

your profits.

10. You will get your article published all over the web

when you submit it to an e-zine publisher that has a

FREE content directory on their web site. They'll allow

their visitors to republish your article. Submitting to

a few of the big article directory sites will also add

to your backlinks, and give your article more exposure

making it ever more likely to get picked up by other

ezine owners.
