Use These Article Submitting Tips to Save You Time

February 1st, 2007

Article marketing is by far one of the best ways to promote your website. Unfortunately, it can be very time consuming if you submit to more than one directory at a time.

I want to share with you some tips that I use that help me cut that time down drastically, without having to resort to submission software.

• Use the ‘autofill’ button in your browser. Instead of typing in your name and other information every time, the autofill feature does it for your with one click of a button.

• Write your articles in a text editor like Notepad instead of a word processor like Microsoft Word. This will prevent any auto-formatting from screwing up your finished copy.

• Have another copy for sites that require you to add your own code. For example, this article I could save as two copies. One with regular text, and one with the bullet tags included. This would save me a lot of time if I submit it to directories that don’t offer rich text editing.

• Have an ‘author bio’ file for each of your websites instead of typing them in every time. EzineArticles.com is great because they allow you to save up to three different resource boxes, but a lot of other directories don’t. With a separate file, you can just copy and paste the appropriate one into your article submission form.

• Always preview your article before submitting it for any spelling mistakes or formating errors. It may even help to have someone else read it or proof it for you. Little mistakes could cost you, so it’s best to avoid publishing any.

• Submit more than one article at a time. Instead of submitting three articles all at different points of the day, submit them all at the end of the day to save you from having to log in every time.

• Have a folder in your ‘favorites’ with all the directories that you submit articles to bookmarked. They’ll be easy to find in one place, and you can work your way down the list as you submit.

By using these tips, you won’t have to spend your entire day submitting articles, and you’ll have more time to do other things…like writing more articles!
