Ten years ago I wrote an article called “The Big Bang Publicity Campaign” That one little article made me $13,000 in one month . It was not only was published in nearly a thousand online ezines but was also picked up and published in business magazines. Magazines you might buy at Barnes and Noble. That article is still being published today. How did I do it?
The Internet was a different place ten years ago. At that time there were only a handful of ezine directories but there were thousands of ezine editors. I put my efforts toward submitting my articles directly to the ezine editors and that is where you should direct your efforts now. The important thing to remember is that the large ezine editors do not have time to go sifting through a pile of articles in hundreds of directories to find you! They don’t have to because they already receive targeted articles by email by writers such as yourself. Don’t wait for a back-link, go directly to the source! There is a good chance you will also receive a back-link from these editors as many post their newsletters online as well as sending them by email.
Articles submitted to ezine editors should:
*Include a headline that will catch their attention and that of their readers.
*Be 400 words in length, but not more than 1,000 words.
*Be checked for proper grammar and spelling.
*Be submitted in plain text. Keep in mind that editors want to copy and paste directly into their ezine.
When you submit your article to the editor be sure to address your email directly to the editor by name and write a small email to them. Ask for consideration for publication in their ezine and then tell them why their readers will benefit from your article. Give them concrete reasons for wanting to publish your work. Also, be sure to ask them to reply back to you should they select your article for publication. When they do, be sure to thank them and then put that editor in a separate list of editors that have accepted your work. While you will want to continuously submit to new editors, always submit new articles to editors that have already published your articles. Additionally, if an editor really loves your article they might ask you to write a weekly column.
Having your articles published by editors in their ezines gives you instant credibility. Because the editor has selected your article It tells the readers that you are an expert in your industry. Your click through rates will be much better and the percentage of actual buyers will be much higher. Instead of hoping buyers will drop by a particular website, your article will download directly into their email through the ezine that published you.
Consider this, one ezine might have 5,000 readers. Think about how many buyers might read your article if just twenty ezine editors select your article for publication!
You can really be selling almost anything for this technique to work. It does matter that you pick ezines in the same category as your article topic and that the articles that you send to editors are top quality. Don’t use rehashed articles content. Send original work.
