How to Go About Getting Your Article in Directories
Finding the right freelance writer to produce your revenue generating articles can take a bit of time, however, if you find one that can easily take on another regular client and the two of you work well together, then that one difficult search will turn into a lot of profitable articles.
When you start your search, you may want to begin with a very small group of articles, just in case you happen too hook up with a writer that you are less than thrilled with. It is important to keep in mind that there are several different types of writing and each writer might be highly skilled in one area, yet lack in another. For example, there is creative/fiction writing, biographical writing, news writing, general informational article writing, critical writing, copy-writing, poem/verse writing, technical writing, medical writing, essay/report writing, and sports writing. Although a writer may be highly skilled in one area, many freelance writers spread themselves out into others areas as well. So, it is critical that the writer you choose can produce the type of content that you need.
To find a freelance writer, you can look at various freelancing websites that will allow you to post the specification of your project and your budget.
From there, writers will make bids on your project and provide you with writing samples so that you can get an idea of their skill level. Make sure that you choose a writer who gives you a sample of the type of article that you are looking for. For example, if you are looking for a copy-writer, do not hire someone who only sent you a sports writing sample. He or she may be an outstanding sports writer, but copy-writing is about selling (a product, service, or yourself) to your website visitors.
In conclusion, the more you are willing to pay per article, the more bids you will get from quality writers who know how to entertain and inform your website visitors so that they keep coming back for more. Writers know that you will eventually make a ton of money off of each article or content piece. So although $30 or more for a 500 word article may seem like a lot, when you think about the service they are providing you and the time and effort that they put into your piece, then you will realize that it really is not a lot for that one article. If you pay for quality, you will be amazed at how much you will eventually make off of your articles.
You’ve written your article, distanced yourself from it for a couple of days and are now sure it is ready to be submitted to article sites. Each of these sites has its own rules regarding submissionm regardless of whether it is called an article bank or an article directory.
You need to start by doing your homework. Most of the sites will require you to register, which costs nothing. Making a document with your name, address, telephone number, email address, business name, and website address, as well as the username and password that you would like to use will save you time . You can copy and paste from it into each site. You can also use software, such as Roboform at www.roboform.com .
Read the submission guidelines completely for each site before you submit for each one is different. The sites will vary on how many articles they will accept each week. Some article sites require an actual human being to register. Not following the guidelines set forth could cause you to be banned from ever posting.
While most sites will post your entire article, there are some that will only post a brief bit and link to the article stored at your site. You will find it boring to type in the same information over and over again so that is where the cut and paste document or Roboform comes in.
It’s much easier to have a ready-made document or software to fill in the repeat information. Next, fill in your headline, subheadline, the body of the article, and your author’s resource box information, cutting and pasting works well here. Some of the sites will keep your information on file but you may find yourself needing to change this information when you choose to promote a different product.
After submitting your articles, you will see an increase in the amount of mail you receive. Using a different email address solely for article submissions will help. You will need to make sure and check it, however, because the article sites always check for email validity.
There are hundreds of sites to submit your articles to, but the following listed ones are the ones you should start with.
