Your Articles
Welcome to Day 22 of the Lieurance-King Spring 2009 Article Challenge!
Here’s today’s tip:
Try to provide a steady stream of articles (one a day or one every few days) to article directories. Don’t worry about writing dozens of articles and submitting them all at once. Slow and steady wins the race here, too.
Sometimes we can get so caught up in this challenge, we forget what our actual goal is in writing and submitting to article directories.
Our actual goal is - driving more traffic to our websites and blogs.
The best way to do that with articles for article directories is to provide a steady stream of articles rather than submitting dozens at a time and then not submitting any more for weeks or even months.
Think of it this way - article marketing is like a marathon, not a sprint.
Start off too quickly and you might lose energy before you finish the race.
But pace yourself, and continue on slow and steady, and you’ll get to the finish line.
In this case, that means you just need to keep writing and submitting an article or two on a regular basis.
As you post articles to ezinearticles.com, or another article directory, have a friend or business associate rate them for you. Articles with a high rating tend to be read, and picked up by editors, more often than nonrated articles.
When you submit your work to article directories, include your photo in your professional profile whenever possible. When you do, it will appear with each article you post.
If you’re rejected by a specific article directory, don’t spend your precious article writing energy emailing back and forth, trying to get back in with that directory.
