How to Submit Your Articles and Get Them Published

I get a lot of questions from my subscribers asking how to submit articles to be published the Internet. If my subscribers are asking about it, I assume that many others also need this information. Following is a basic outline on how to submit articles and get them published on the Internet.

You do not need to be a famous author to write articles. Most authors are people just like you and me. Write in a simple, easy to understand tone. Write it as though you are talking to a friend. An informal article written in a conversational manner is best.

Start out by writing on subjects you are familiar with. After you gain some writing experience, you can begin to research and write about topics you are not familiar with. Try to keep the length of your articles between 300 and 500 words. For the proper format, see my article entitled, "How to Write Articles That Get Published".

Once your article is written, proofread, and run through a spelling and grammar checker, you are ready to begin the submission process. Do a search on the Internet for "article directories". You will find a large list or article submission sites available. Choose a number of them to submit your articles to.

Once you have selected the article directories, go to the sites individually. Once on the site, you need to register as an author. It is an easy process. They will ask for your name, address, and some other information. You will also need to select a user name and password. Your user name is the name that others will see if they look-up your articles. Some sites will also ask you to choose a "pen name". This is a name that will be published along with your article. This is good if you don’t want to write under your real name.

After you have completed the registration process, you will probably be sent a conformation email to verify that it was actually you that registered. Click on the confirmation link and log onto the site using your user name and password. Once there, check on the site’s terms of service and editorial guidelines. Make sure that the articles you submit adhere to their policies; otherwise your articles will not be published.

After writing your article, log onto one of your submission sites and click on "submit article". You will be presented with a number of boxes where you will enter the appropriate information.

Title: This is obvious; enter the title of your article.

Summary: Enter two or three short sentences that summarize your article.

Keywords (or Tags): These are the words that people will use to find your article. For example, if you article is about dog grooming, you might enter the following keywords (in a similar format):

dogs,dog grooming,dog care,brushing your dog,dog care, pet care

Each keyword can consist of one or more words. Separate each item with a comma. Notice that there are no space between the command the next keyword.

Body: This is where you will enter the body of your article.

You must write the article first, and then paste it into the proper box on the submission site. Do not write your article while you are on the submission site.

Resource Box (or Bio): Enter 2 or 3 lines about yourself or a product or website that you are promoting. In most cases, you can enter 2 links here to other websites.

Click on "submit article" and you are done. Some sites allow you to preview the article first and you can do this if you wish.

If would like to share your thoughts and knowledge with the Internet community, give it a try. Submit a few articles, and, who knows, you may even enjoy it. Good luck.
