Now that you have started article writing in a big way, you should know what your next step should be. Your articles, no matter how good or interesting, are no good if you do not show them off to the rest of the world. So what is the method to do this? Well, the vital thing for you to do now is to market your business by distributing these articles to several online article directories. The more, the merrier!

The resource box at the bottom of each article lets you talk about yourself and your business. This means, you get that many back links to your website, which translates into more visitors to your site.

Conduct an online search for article directories and you will find several hundreds of these. Make a systematic list of the most desired directories and then submit your articles to them. This is the way to go!

You can submit articles in the following ways:

Submitting manually

Some people love to do it all by themselves. If you are one of them, you may want to personally submit your articles online. If not, you can hire a personal virtual assistant for the same. These freelance workers know the best directories on the Web, so you can rest assured that your articles will receive the maximum exposure.

Freelance virtual assistants can be found very easily and their cost will fit into even the tightest budget!

Submitting automatically

Many websites offer you the choice of submitting your articles online, by way of their convenient online submission services. Some such services require you to pay a fee per article or directory. This is great for fresh article marketers, but can end up being very costly if you continue for too long with this kind of thing.

You can pay a flat rate to some other submission services. This works very well for the future. You can also make half-yearly or annual payments, so that you can continue to submit your articles for that much longer a time! This method is indeed easy and convenient.

The key to running a successful business website is implementing strategies that attract and retain visitors who are interested in purchasing a particular product or service. One essential component of improving a business’ online visibility is providing quality and relevant articles on the website and through online article syndication. Most people understand the basics of writing, however writing an informative and well-written article that communicates a specific message which is relevant to a specific product or service can be difficult. Most businesses do not have professional article writers on staff which is why they look outside of the business to hire quality article writers.

Using the services of a freelance writer can be a valuable asset to a business. Below are a number of reasons why it makes sense for a business to hire a freelance writer:

1. Professional freelance writers understand the art of effective communication. They are trained in professional article writing techniques that include proper sentence structure, grammar, vocabulary, as well as writing to engage the reader, using communication techniques such as providing essential information and not ‘fluff,’ and providing the reader with helpful information. Because well written articles add credibility to a business, a freelance writer will focus on the message the business wants to convey.

2. When hiring a freelance writer, a business should obtain a trained, educated, and experienced writer. The writer will not be an actual employee so there are no payroll taxes, regular salary to pay, and benefits that have to be paid out. The business just pays the agreed upon fee for a specified set of articles. As well, there are no overhead expenses as the writer is outsourced.

3. A quality freelance writer will have all of the equipment, internet access, and software programs, to write the articles. They will have such tools as spell-check and plagiarism detection software to ensure articles are not only well-written, but also unique. The writing will be focused solely on the businesses needs and designed to attract visitors to the business website where they will learn about the businesses product or service. Whether you want to educate, promote a product or service, or increase profits, expertly written articles will achieve your goals.

4. A quality freelance writer is a real time saver. A business will not have to worry about where they are going to acquire quality content as a freelance writer will do all of the research and create professional and informative articles. Less work for you will mean that you have more time to devote to management of the business.

Professional articles are a key tool to increasing online visibility and bringing targeted customers to a business website. When looking to hire a quality writer, outsourcing your article to an experienced and educated freelance writer will ensure the integrity of your business and its brand is maintained.

Most article marketers begin by writing their own articles. This is usually the best scenario as you have complete control over the content.


With all the discussion these days about duplicate content, and the penalties associated with them, it’s reassuring to know that the content is original. The problem is, writing articles takes a commitment of time and energy and because of this, many article marketers stop article marketing all together.


Many article marketers decide to outsource their article writing and this can be extremely rewarding. Even so, it’s important to be aware of the pitfalls in finding a quality article writer before you commit to this course of action.


There are many issues, including the quality and uniqueness of the articles produced, the cost per article, how well the article is “optimized” for the search engines and the list goes on.


There are many outlets for article writing services and the list is growing everyday. If you’re just getting started, I suggest looking around on Elance.com, Guru.com or even on Craigslist.com


Most people involved in article marketing overlook the “classified” sites like Craigslist.com and sometimes these provide the greatest treasures. The only downside is that they do not provide some of the “protections” of a more full-featured freelance site like Elance.com


After locating a pool of article writers, you may want to give the same assignment to three-to-five article writers and see which perform the best. This will give you a few article writers to choose from in the future.


Doing this, you’ll be able to discern several things about the article writers you’ve selected. You’ll know the costs involved, their ability to follow directions, their capabilities as a writer and whether or not they met your time deadline.


However, you’ll still want to check the articles you receive for uniqueness as you’ll find some article writers making only minor “tweaks” to private label right articles. Worse yet, some may have used someone else’s article without permission.


Here are two ways to check an article for uniqueness:


1. Use Copyscape’s service at: http://www.CopyScape.com


Copy the article you’ve received from the writer and paste it into an HTML editor like FrontPage or Dreamweaver. Upload this page to your server.


For instance, if you’ve named your new page “testarticle.html” and have uploaded it to your server, your URL for this article would be:


YourDomainName.com/testarticle.html


Go to CopyScape.com and paste in the full URL, including the “http://,” into the appropriate window. CopyScape will search the web to see if it can find duplicate content.


If the content is unique, you can submit it to the directories. If it’s not, you’ll need to have the article writer re-write the article until it is.


If CopyScape found large portions of duplicate content it is best to avoid the article writer who submitted the piece in the future.


2. Use DupeFree Pro software which is available at: http://www.dupefreepro.com


DupeFree Pro has many features. In addition to searching for duplicate content, it will tell you the total word count of your article, check for “keyword density,” which is vital for proper search engine optimization, and much more.


DupeFree Pro will also check two articles against each other to find similarities. This is important if you are re-writing a Private Label Rights article and want to ensure the newly created article is considered unique.


Outsourcing article writing can greatly improve your article marketing efforts but it pays to do your homework. It will take some effort to find a few article writers you enjoy working with but your efforts should pay huge dividends in the end.
