How To Get Most Out Of Article Submission

1. Create Your Article As Fascinating As Possible

Is your article formatted in a way that makes it easy to read and/or scan with light paragraphs, subheads, and bullet points? Are you using plain text and just plain text in your entire article?

2. Neaten Your Work

Have you proofread your article for spelling, grammar, and other superficial errors? You will miss credibility with a lot of mistakes. Read your article out loud. You will be astounded how many mistakes you will be able to snatch with using this technique not to mention how many clumsy sentences you will be able to locate for alteration.

3. Offer Valuable Information

Whenever your article provides a valuable tip or a solution to a problem then be sure to spotlight this in your headline as well as summary. Stay away from selling with your article, sell yourself instead, your information, your expertise, and your experience, but not your products. In the end you will realise far more exposure by selling your knowledge.

4. Keep It Short

The perfect length is a word count of 250-500 words. If your article is double this length, try to break it down into two articles. If a 500-word article does the same as a 5,000-word article why feed readers more than they can digest in an easy read.

5. Create Your Resource Box

A resource box, also known as bio box, is a small paragraph with your name, the name of your business, a short tagline, and most important a link to your website. Don't get excessively long but you might sum up at the end a one to three sentence pitch for your site that can easily be reduced if some article directories ask for a low character count for the resource box. Don't miss to include a call to action here. For instance, Find more advice from Piedro Molinero by clicking here... At most article directories you are also able to include an anchor url related to a keyword or keyword phrase that you would like to build backlinks for. Do not misuse or overuse this strategy. As a rule of thumb resource box should be no longer than 1/5 the length of your article. If this proportion breaks too much it will touch your credibility.

6. Write A Summary

A lot of article directories will require a summary of your article. Therefore it is easier to have these ready before you start submitting. Keep it short and compact. Generally just a couple of sentences are sufficient.

7. Collect Your Keywords

Several article directories will need a list of keywords or key phrases for your article thus it is easier to have these ready once you begin submitting. I would prepare a list of 10-20 comma separated words, the most important one first.

Once you have finished these seven steps you are prepared to submit your articles. Taking a couple of minutes to finish these steps before you start submitting will save you time and stress as you go through the submission process, as well as allow you to craft the most efficient resource box and summary achievable.
