subject: Article Marketing Tips - Where To Submit My Articles? [print this page] When you first start out with your article marketing campaign to promote your website and gain much needed traffic, you might find yourself wondering WHERE can you submit your articles. One of the things that you want to keep in mind is, that you should be taking a look at where your market or your niche is most likely to go to find the kind of content that you are creating.
For example, if you are creating content on a health and fitness subject, then you would probably want to distribute your articles to the most relevant directories that you can find, as well as the more general and high traffic sites.
AN OFTEN OVERLOOKED PLACE TO SUBMIT YOUR CONTENT...
One place that people will often overlook, is to find high ranking, high authority blogs and sites within your niche that do not allow just anyone to publish an article, and contact them with a sample of your writing. You just might be able to land a guest spot on their website, and leverage their traffic over onto your own site.
The good thing about this is, their traffic will usually be very targeted, meaning, they want what you have. And you will have already gained a little "social proof" that you are indeed someone that they should pay attention to.
SHOULD YOU PUT IT ON YOUR OWN SITE?
If you have a blog, you might want to put the article on there first, so that your website is credited with being the originator of the content. Just keep in mind that when dealing with a "niche authority" site, they may want to have you write an article that is unique to their site, and that is really not a bad thing.
THE MORE PLACES YOU HAVE YOUR CONTENT ON, THE MORE "REACH" YOU WILL HAVE...
Keep in mind that the more places people can find your articles, your content, the more people that you can end up reaching out to, and the more traffic you are going to wind up getting in the long run. It can be a pain in the neck to find places to submit your content to sometimes, but the tradeoff is that you will end up with a LOT more traffic, and if you convert that traffic, more money will end up in YOUR pocket. And that is what really will make you smile in the end.
