Increasing Url clicks With Your Articles

If the main goal of your article is to generate traffic to your site, don’t think of it as an article, think of it as a sales piece. Before writing the article, list your goals. Do you merely want to provide information and let people know you are knowledgeable in the field? Do you want to generate web traffic and entice readers to click on your links? It is imperative that you develop a goal for each article you write.

If your goal is to entice the viewer to click on your links, make sure you give them enough information in the article to pique their curiosity. Offer them more detailed information in your resource box by clicking the link.

Before writing your article, make a list of the main features of the item or service you are promoting. If you are writing about autoresponders, list the features of autoresponders. For each of these features, write how it would benefit the user. This is called a benefit. For example:
Feature - It can send out thousands of sales presentations simultaneously.
Benefit – You can earn thousands of dollars at the push of a button.

Paint a picture with your benefits. Make an emotional appeal so the viewers can actually see themselves. In the example above you can change the benefit to:
Let your autoresponder go to work earning you thousands of dollars while you take the day off and go to the beach.

Choose two or three of your strongest benefits and write them into your article. Start with the items that would be most attractive to your reader. It is not necessary to go into great detail; you will do that after they click on your link.

Lastly, it is absolutely imperative that you give your article a compelling title. Write an attention grabbing title that compels the viewer to read further. People tend to skim over the available titles when they are looking for information. Your article has to jump out at them. Your title is your advertising; it is the most important part of your article. If you write a great article and give it a boring title, no one will read it and all of your hard work will have been for nothing.

Using the techniques above, you can substantially increase the number of URL clicks your articles attain. I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go now. You see the tide is coming in and the waves are approaching my beach chair. Anyway, I can use another drink. I’ll meet you on the beach!

The advantages of Tracking Your Articles

Why would I need to track my articles? After all, my counter tells me if a hit to my site came from xyz submission site, so what is the advantage in adding tracking data?

I write a lot of articles, and, as a result, many of them are picked up and published by ezines that I never submit to. Although my counter tells me that this hit came from ABC ezine, I don’t know how it got there. By adding a tracking string to my URL, when that hit arrives on my site, it tells me exactly where it came from.

Another advantage in tracking your articles is that it can make you more efficient. Some time ago, I entered a tracking code into each article that I submitted to the smaller submission sites. After about three weeks, I noticed that I had not received any hits from a number of these sites. I was wasting my time in submitting to these sites. As a result, I deleted about 90 sites from my submission list. (I had been submitting each article to about 150 sites.) After that test, I paired my submission list down to about 60 sites. I saved about an hour a day with absolutely no decline in traffic! That is the power of a good tracking campaign.

In addition, you can track the performance of your ads and emails. With a good tracking campaign, you can determine which of your ads are working the best. If you find that one particular ad is performing better than others, use it more consistently and drop the poor performers. You are just wasting money when you place an ad that does not perform well. With each ad that I place, I enter the ad along with the tracking data into a file and save it on the computer. Then, it is an easy matter to see which ads are doing well and which ones are doing poorly. That way, I am continually improving the performance of my ad and email campaigns.

How do you track your articles and ads? It is actually quite simple. At the end of your URL, enter a slash, then a question mark, and the name of the test, ad, subject line, or Ezine that you are tracking (for example-blahblahblah.com/?ad1). Each time your website gets a hit from that source, your counter will log that visitor as coming from ad1. By comparing hits from competing ads, or articles, you can determine which are the most successful. Before you commit to any significant tracking campaign using this method, do a simple test to ensure that your website works properly with tracking data. Some servers do not recognize it and will return a “site not found” notice. If this is the case, you cannot use this simple tracking method.

We are all in this business for the same reason, to make money. To maximize the income you generate, track your results. By entering a small string after your URL you can determine where your website visitors are coming from. This can make a significant difference in your efficiency as well as your profits. A good tracking system can significantly improve the performance of your ads, articles, and subject lines.

Track Your Data and Explode Your Profits

By tracking the performance of your articles and ads, you can maximize the profits you make from your Internet business. Enter a small string after your URL and you can determine where your website visitors are coming from. This is particularly important if you are using a number of different ads. A good tracking system can significantly improve the performance of your ads, articles, and subject lines.

If you are using a good stat counter, you can tell when visitors have come from one of the article submission sites. Your stat counter provides the title of your article and the site that it came from. But, you may not be able to determine which ad or subject line a visitor responded to. This is particularly true if you try different variations with each one that you submit.

It is actually quite simple to track your data. At the end of your URL, enter a slash, then a question mark, and the name of the test, ad, subject line, or Ezine that you are tracking (for example-blahblahblah.com/?ad1). Each time your website gets a hit from that source, your counter will log that visitor as coming from ad1. By comparing hits from competing ads, or articles, you can determine which are the most successful. Before you commit to any significant tracking campaign using this method, do a simple test to ensure that your website works properly with tracking data. Some servers do not recognize it and will return a “site not found” notice. If this is the case, you cannot use this simple tracking method.

The other necessary component is a good stat counter on your site. Make sure it is embedded on every page of your site. There are a number of important facts that you can discover from a good stat counter when using tracking data.

Using a tracking code can make you much more efficient. Some time ago, I entered a tracking code into each article that I submitted to the smaller submission sites. After about three weeks, I noticed that I had not received any hits from a number of these sites. As a result, I deleted about 90 sites from my submission list. I had been submitting each article to about 150 sites. After that test, I paired my submission list to about 60 sites. I saved about an hour a day with no decline in traffic! That is the power of a good tracking campaign.

In addition, you can track the performance of ads that you place. If you find that one particular ad is performing better than others, use it more consistently. Stop wasting money on those non-performing ads. With each ad that I place, I enter the ad along with the tracking data into a file and save it on the computer. Then, it is an easy matter to see which ads are doing well and which ones are doing poorly. That way, I am continually improving the performance of my ad and email campaigns.

Maximize Your Internet Profits With a Simple Technique

To maximize the income you make from your Internet business, keep good records. I save each article I write in a file I call “Published.” I save the resource box, summary, and keywords along with the body of each article I write. Once per quarter, I transfer these files onto a CD.

On the larger article submission sites, you can determine your page views, URL clicks, and published ezines. This is extremely useful information. With it, you can determine which articles were the most popular with the public. You can also conclude which resource boxes worked the best. This information is critical. After all, the number of URL clicks is the primary reason that most people write articles.

The other necessary component is a good stat counter on your site. Make sure it is embedded on every page of your site. There are a number of important facts that you can discover from a good stat counter:

1) How many people visit your site?

This, of course, is particularly important. If no one is visiting your site, you may as well close it down. A lack of traffic can tell you a lot; maybe your content is lacking or perhaps your ads and resource boxes are not compelling. In any case, a lack of, or decline in traffic is a sign that there is a problem.

2) Where do your visitors come from?

Do they come from your ads or your article submission sites? If so, which ones do they come from? If you haven’t had a visitor from a submission site (or ad) in several weeks, stop submitting to them. Find a site (or ad) with a bigger or more responsive audience.

3) Which search terms were used to find your site?

This can be particular telling. If a large number of your visitors find your site by using the same search term, provide more content in that targeted area. This will attract additional like-minded visitors.

4) Which pages were visited on your site?

If certain pages on your site are ignored by your visitors, replace them with fresh content. Or, replace the content on the 3 or 4 pages with lowest number of visits. This will prevent your site from getting stale and may attract more traffic.

A good stat counter can provide you with these, and many more statistics. From this data you will know what appealed to your viewers and can use this information to be more successful in the future. It can also help you decide which topics to focus on for future articles, ads, and resource boxes.

How Successful Entrepreneurs Excel

In any business, there are a few individuals that excel to super star levels and make millions upon millions of dollars. And likewise, there are some who struggle for years and make little if any money at all. The rest of us are somewhere in the middle ground between the two.

Regardless of what business you are in, you should try to emulate the super stars. Try to do what they do. I’m not saying that you will immediately vault up to super star status, but your results will almost certainly improve.

Some of the characteristics of the Internet super stars are as follows:

* They diversify their business and participate in more than one niche. If an opportunity presents itself, they can swiftly change gears and exploit an additional area.

* They pay talented people to take care of the details on their numerous websites. They pay others to take care of the more mundane day-to-day issues. This frees up their time to work on items that they believe to be more important, like developing new products.

* They develop and sell their own products. When appropriate, they allow others to sell them on an affiliate basis. It is generally agreed that the number one method to be successful is to develop your own product. You must have your own products in order to excel.

* They keep abreast of current trends and reinvest in their business. They buy information to assist them in developing new profitable techniques.

In many cases, the difference between a successful business and a floundering one is a matter of small details. Diversify and participate in several different niches. By concentrating all of your efforts in a single area, you live or die with the popularity of that sector. If public interest in your niche weakens, or never existed, success will elude you. By diversifying your business among several different sectors, your chances of achieving success are considerably better.

Work hard and imitate those who are successful. By doing that, you too have an opportunity to grow your Internet business to levels you never dreamed possible. Keep in mind that those who have achieved ultra successful status have done so by working many long, hard hours. It was not handed to them on a silver platter. Most have worked very hard and earned every penny they have. So imitate those ultra successful individuals and someday, people new to the business may try to emulate you.

Fast and Easy Methods to Quickly Grow Your List

If you are serious about making money on the Internet, you’ve got to have a list. A responsive, well maintained list is an important part of your long-term success. A good list can double the amount of income that you generate over time. For that reason, it is extremely important that you develop a good list and maximize the number of viewers that participate.

In order to do this, you need a good opt-in page. Your opt-in page is a web page where your visitors will sign-in to your list. The better your sign-in page, the higher your opt-in percentages.

It is important that you have a single page on your site devoted exclusively to generating subscribers. Do not post ads or banners of any kind on this page. You do not want to distract viewers. Your only goal is to entice them to join your list of subscribers.

Offer plenty of reasons for them to subscribe. Sell them. Provide your incentives in large bullet points. Use color for your most attractive enticements, but do not over power the page with color. Your primary font color should be the traditional black. Don’t use teal or some other non-traditional color for your primary font color. Use no more than 3 colors on the page, including black and white.

Entice viewers to sign up. Give them something free. Offer them a free report, information, ecourse, download, or Ebook. Whatever you decide, make sure you give them something for free. It is almost a requirement now that you give your subscribers something for signing up.

Your opt-in box should have a place of prominence. Do not hide it on the side; proudly display it at the top or middle of the page! It should be visible as soon as visitors enter your site without having to page up or down. Down not hide it among a jumble of other items, allow it to stand out on its own.

Lastly, add a simple pop-up box on every page of your website. This is really important. Many people that navigate through your site are not subscribers. If they see things that they like, they will frequently want to join your list. By offering a pop-up on every page, you give them that opportunity. When I added the pop-up, my opt-in numbers doubled.

By instituting the techniques above, you can maximize the number of subscribers on your list and increase the amount of money you generate.

How to Profit from the Explosive Growth of the Internet

The Internet continues to grow at a phenomenal rate. There are about 700 times as many websites in existence today as there were in 1998. (Wow! If only my money would grow that fast!) There are currently over two billion websites on the Internet, and that figure is expected to continue growing.

Therein lies the opportunity for people to make money. Every one of those sites has to be hosted somewhere. Some of them are hosted for free by Internet Service Providers (ISP’s). But a very large number of them are hosted by companies that charge a fee for their hosting services. Many of those fee-based hosts offer affiliate programs.

An affiliate program allows you to refer customers to purchase a product or service that is provided by another company (the merchant). Each time one of your referrals makes a purchase from the merchant, you collect a commission.

You can take advantage of this by checking with your own web hosting company to see if they have an affiliate program. These programs are usually free to join so you have nothing to lose. Most web hosting affiliate programs will send you a percentage of the monthly sales that are generated by your efforts. If you send 100 people to the web host through your affiliate efforts and three of them open accounts paying ten dollars per month, you would receive a percentage of that $30 each month. If, over the course of a year, they opened 50 accounts through your efforts, you would earn a percentage of the $500 monthly amount. Each company has a different percentage that they pay their affiliates so the amount will vary from company to company. But wouldn’t it be nice to start receiving monthly checks instead of paying them?

If you are using free hosting through your ISP, or if you are unhappy with the service that your web host is providing, you can find hosting opportunities by doing a search for “affiliate hosting programs”. You will find page after page of affiliate programs for hosting companies. It is important that you do research before making a final selection. Do not base your decision solely on the amount of commission they pay. Narrow your search down to the top 5 candidates or so. Make sure they are reliable. One of the complaints that I hear most often has to do with web hosts whose sites go down frequently. Also, make sure that the site you recommend offers sufficient disk space and bandwidth. It is also important that they provide telephone support. If the site is down, web support is not much help.

To be successful with affiliate sales is hard work. You have to market the program and get visitors to the affiliate site. There are many free advertising methods that you can use. I suggest that you write articles, use blogs, free ezine ads, and forums. I recommend that you start out using these free methods. Then, if you decide that it is too much work, or you are not making any money, you can back out without losing any money.

Create Your Own Ebook Part 2 of 2

In Part 1 of this series, we discussed the advantages of developing your own product and the potential disadvantages of using affiliate products. You will almost always be better off by selling your own product for the following reasons:

1) You will earn 100% of your sale proceeds instead of the much smaller percentage that you get from an affiliate sale.

2) You control the service that you provide to your buyers. In most cases, providing better service results in happier customers. The happier your customers, the more business you will attain from repeat orders and referrals.

3) You control the quality of your product. With affiliate sales you never know what sort of quality your customers are getting unless you buy and try the product yourself. If you are serious about dealing with affiliates, you should always test out an affiliate product before recommending it to others.

Creating your own product can have significant advantages. Of course it is not the only way to make money on the Internet. You can make a substantial amount of money on the Internet by selling affiliate products. We covered some of the problems associated with affiliate sales in Part 1.

One of the problems with affiliate sales is the fact that it is important to diversify. If you are promoting six affiliate products and generate a total of 240 prospects, you will have sent 40 prospects to each affiliate site. If each of those affiliates has a conversion percentage of 1.5%, you probably did not generate any sales. In fact, statistically speaking, you would need to send 70 prospects to one of those affiliate sites before you generate any sales. If you were promoting them evenly, you would need about 420 prospects before you start making any sales. Of course, you could choose just one affiliate and send all of your prospects there, but if the one you choose gives poor service, it could cause you significant problems. It is not a wise decision to put all of your eggs in someone else’s basket.

You can however, increase your income stream by following some of the suggestions below:

1) Your first priority should be to develop your own product. That way, you can focus all of your marketing efforts on one product and you know that you are going to give great service. If you had your own product and generated 240 page views of your sales page, you almost certainly will generate some sales.

2) Post often and regularly to a number of forums. Develop a signature file that effectively advertises your product and leave it with every post that you make.

3) Use as many free blogs as you can easily maintain. Make sure you post new information at least three or four times each week. Ensure that all of your entries promote your product.

4) Track your results! It is extremely important to keep track of which advertising programs are generating page views. That way, you can eliminate the non-performers and commit additional time, effort, and money to successful programs. By focusing on the details, you can continually upgrade your advertising and produce more and more page views.

5) Reinvest the profits back into your business. When I suggest this to people, many of them say that they don’t need anything else. Are you kidding? Buy a domain name for your current (or next) product, upgrade your hosting service, use a professional to improve the look of your website, buy information products to enhance you skills, use a ghost writer to start on your next product, hire someone to write targeted articles for you. There are hundreds of ways you can reinvest profits. Always look for methods that will make your site, more profitable, more professional looking, or more automated.

If you are not happy with the amount of money that you are currently making, look into instituting the steps above to increase your bottom line.

Create Your Own Ebook Part 1 of 2

Creating your own product can have significant advantages. Of course it is not the only way to make money on the Internet. You can make a substantial amount of money on the Internet by selling affiliate products. In fact, making a lot of money is quite easy if you have a substantial number of subscribers in your list or if you have a high traffic website. If you are just starting out with no subscribers and zero traffic it is more difficult. If you stay the course and work hard, the money will come, but it takes time.

One of the problems with affiliate sales is the fact that it is important to diversify. You should have at least three or four affiliates that you deal with. If you have six affiliate products that you are recommending, and send forty viewers to each affiliate site, the odds are slim that you will generate any sales, even though you sent a total of 240 prospects to the various sites. Of course, you could choose just one affiliate, but if the one you choose gives poor service, it could cause you significant problems. You never really know an affiliate until you’ve had a few sales with them and get some feedback. After all, it is not a wise decision to put all of your eggs in someone else’s basket.

You can however, increase your income stream and eliminate some of the affiliate problems.

1) Your first priority should be to develop your own product. That way, you can focus all of your marketing efforts on one product and you know that you are going to give great service. If you had your own product and generated 240 page views of your sales page, you almost certainly will generate some sales.

2) Place free ads with a number of ezines. By doing a search, you can find many services that will post ads in ezines for you. If you are using this kind of blanket service, make sure that you have a disposable email address, as you will get a lot of confirmation emails and tons of solicitations later. By using a disposable email address, you eliminate that problem.

3) Do a search for newsletters and ezines in your niche and place free (or inexpensive) ads with them. Check a few of their back issues to ensure that they offer quality content. Take note of the number of subscribers that they have. This is particularly important if you are paying for an ad.

4) Write articles on subjects related to your product’s niche. Make sure you submit each article to at least 50-100 sites. Use the largest over-all sites as well as those that specialize in topics related to your product’s niche.

If you are not happy with the amount of money that you are currently making, look into instituting the steps above to increase your bottom line.

Imitate Those who are the Most Successful

In any business, there are a few individuals that excel to super star levels and make millions upon millions of dollars. And likewise, there are some who struggle for years and make little if any money at all. The rest of us are somewhere in the middle ground between the two.

Regardless of what business you are in, you should try to emulate the super stars. Try to do what they do. I’m not saying that you will immediately vault up to super star status, but your results will almost certainly improve.

Some of the characteristics of the Internet super stars are as follows:

1) They keep meticulous records. They track all results and do more of the stuff that is working and eliminate the stuff that isn’t. It’s important to know what you are doing right.

2) They are not afraid to spend money and reinvest a portion of their profits back into their business. They have no problem buying advertising, domain names, good hosting, software, and information. You’ve got to spend money in order to make it.

3) They develop and sell their own products. When appropriate, they allow others to sell them on an affiliate basis. It is generally agreed that the number one method to be successful on the Internet is to develop your own product. You must have your own products in order to excel.

By working daily toward these goals, you too have an opportunity to grow your Internet business. For the most part, those who have achieved the most success have done it by working the hardest. Very few, if any, have inherited successful websites from their parents, most have worked very hard and earned every penny they have. So imitate the superstars and someday, people new to the business may try to imitate you.

Maximizing Your Internet Income

Earning money on the Internet is a lot more challenging today than it was a few years ago. The most efficient method of generating sales has always been to develop a large list of clients/subscribers and sell to the list. Make it worth their while to join your list, contact them often, take care of them, and offer them quality products that meet their needs when appropriate. If you started your Internet business five years ago, you probably built up a large list of subscribers rather quickly. Today it takes considerably longer to develop a list of any size.

There are a number of reasons for this. Number one among them is competition. There are over 2 billion websites in existence now and a large percentage of them are trying to sell the same products that you are selling. With so many sellers crowding the marketplace, the pie is a bit smaller for each of us.

I hear many experts recommending that you should sell the product with the highest commission. I disagree. You should sell the product that does the best job for your subscribers, regardless of the commission. By offering the highest quality products, your subscribers will know that you sell only the finest products and will remain on your list for a very long time. In general, the longer they remain with you, the more they will buy. If you repeatedly offer them high priced crap, they will quickly unsubscribe. My attitude has always been, I’ll take care of my subscribers and the commissions will take care of themselves.

The price of the item you are selling is also a factor. If you sell a ten dollar item, you might generate fifty sales for each one thousand people that view your product. If you are selling a five hundred dollar item you might generate just three sales per one thousand page views. This is also something you should consider when deciding on which affiliate product to sell.

It is generally agreed among experts that the best way to achieve success on the Internet is to develop your own product. Most of the Internet Gurus make their Internet millions in this manner. When deciding on products to sell, copy the techniques of those who are most successful. Develop your own product. That way, no one is selling it but you and your affiliates, so you control the amount of competition. You make 100% of the profit on your sales along with a very high percentage on your affiliates’ sales. And, you can determine your own selling price. All in all, it is a very compelling proposition to develop your own product.

7 Techniques Guaranteed to Increase URL clicks

We write articles to benefit our readers. The resource box is designed to benefit the writer. Everyone wants to be compensated for the work that they’ve done, even writers. The resource box is the writer’s only possible payment for the work that you’ve put into the article. That’s why it is important to place a well-crafted resource box that sells your website, service, or product. Using the seven techniques described below can increase your URL clicks and improve your chances for receiving fair compensation for your work.

1. Make sure you ask the reader to take action. The first rule in sales is, “Ask for the order.” Merely stating your name and website is not effective. Instead of: “Author’s name has operated website xyz on a full time basis for three years.” Be more assertive, use the term visit, go to, or click on. The example above would get a higher response rate using “Visit website xyz…”

2. Provide an offer for free information. Offers that provide immediate gratification such as a downloadable product work the best. Make sure that the freebie you provide does a good job of selling the reader on the item that you are promoting.

3. Describe your free offer in detail using a sentence or two. Make sure you tell the reader how this item can benefit them. Stress how the download (or your website) will benefit the reader and how it can solve their problems. This can be particularly effective if the article discusses the problem your link (or website) solves.

4. Give your free download a name that implies that it has value. “Free report on …” is better than “sales brochure”; “free information on…” is better than “sales information”.

5. Do not try to be cute or clever, use a direct offer that stresses the benefits.

6. Track your results. Keep records on how many responses you get from each resource box. Refine your best responding offers to fine tune and maximize your response rates.

7. Mention the features, stress the benefits. A feature is a physical description of the product or service; a benefit describes the advantages in using that product. Sell the benefits; paint a picture for your reader. Make an emotional appeal so the viewers can actually see themselves using your product. Features interest the reader, benefits sell the product.

By using the seven techniques described above, you can be assured that you will maximize your opportunities for some sort compensation for your articles.

Making Money as an Article Writer

Writing content for the Internet can be immensely rewarding both financially and personally. With the way he Internet continues to grow, the need for quality written content will maintain the demand for articles. Perhaps in five years, the demand will shift to video content, but for right now, the written word is king.

The question is, how do we, as writers profit from that demand? There are websites available that will pay writers for content. In most cases, you can get between five and fifteen dollars for a 500-word article. It may not seem like a lot, but once you become proficient, you can write a 500-word article in about half an hour. You are not setting the world on fire financially, but you are earning about thirty dollars an hour by doing something you enjoy.

Another way you can profit writing articles is by using the content on your own website. Using Adsense along with commercial text based ads and ads for your own products can provide a very nice income if your website is currently generating decent traffic. By searching the Internet, you can see numerous testimonials for people who are making a very nice living using these techniques.

Make sure that each article you write contains an author’s resource box. Each time that your article is published through an ezine, they are required to publish your resource information. It should contain three to five sentences publicizing your website or products that you endorse. Most ezines will allow you to include three links in your resource box. To maximize the number of clicks generated, be sure that the items you recommend are related to the content in the article. If your article is about knitting, your readers will probably have little interest in foreign exchange trading.

If you are interested and knowledgeable about a particular subject, you might find success by writing a newsletter. Quality newsletters can draw a very nice income through advertising.

As an alternative to the newsletter, consider writing a targeted blog. You can use all of the income sources mentioned above and you can also solicit donations. Several blog writers I know do fairly well requesting donations.

I’ve touched on a few of the traditional methods to make money by writing articles but there are many others. The nice thing about the Internet is that you are only limited by your imagination.

If You’re New to Writing Articles - Article Writing 101

Most people write articles with a specific purpose in mind. Some write to increase traffic to their website and others write to generate income. Some write for the sheer joy of it, for the publicity, or to see their name in print.

Whatever your reason for writing, I hope you achieve success with it. However, if you are just beginning your writing career, keep in mind that it is not a sprint; it is a long distance race. Whatever your goals, you will not achieve it with your first article (unless you just wanted to see your name in print).

The most successful article writers have over a thousand articles in print. Many of them submit numerous articles each day. However, when you reach that point, your articles will work very hard for you. Good articles written six months, or even a year ago, continue to work today. So, if you want to be successful writing articles, regardless of your goals, you’ve got to write often.

If you write to generate income, you may not make a penny until your twentieth or even thirtieth article. However, if you stick to it, you can make a lot of money or generate a lot of traffic to your website. In addition to submitting articles often, it matters which ezines you submit your work to. If an ezine specializes in Internet information and you submit an article on knitting, it is unlikely that your article will generate many page views. If you are writing for a particular niche, and you should be, submit to sites that specialize in your area of expertise. As you make more and more submissions, you will become recognized as an expert in your field. Once you achieve expert status, you will get increased page views and your articles will be syndicated (published in other ezines) much more often.

Another word of advice for the fledgling author, submit your articles to the largest ezines. It doesn’t do you much good to submit twenty articles to xyz site and receive a total of seven page views. To prevent this, I will check my article stats at various sites from time to time. If recent page views are down substantially, or if they show that fifteen of my articles have not yet been published because they are still pending approval, I will usually drop them from my submission last. You don’t need to check you stats with every submission, but it is a good idea to check them each month or two.

My final bit of information is this; submit each article to at least forty or fifty sites. This is particularly important if you write to generate income or traffic. Make sure you include those in your niche as well as the largest ten or fifteen sites. In order to do this efficiently, you will need some sort of automated submission software. If you try to do it on your own, it will take you several hours just to make the submissions. Using the automated software, it should only take you about twenty minutes.
