List of Article and Ezine Submission Sites

You can easily draw attention to your business by expanding the circulation of articles that you've written - just submit them for use as free content to the public. Web publishers are always looking for fresh content that relates to their readership, and it will give you wider exposure. Just submit your piece to one or more "article submission" sites. Below is a list I've compiled of over 100 submission sites and lists - consider those that relate to your topic, or use some of the general groups.

Instructions: You must first be a subscriber yourself before you can submit articles to a list. That's a good idea on its own, because you will observe other articles being distributed and get a sense for the area of interest of each group. Just follow these steps:

1. Send a blank e-mail to each list to which you wish to subscribe.
2. You will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your subscription. This step is required in order to activate your account.
3. You will be provided with instructions on how to submit your articles. Read the instructions carefully.

Most sites require submissions to be in plain text, and formatted to a fixed width, typically no more than 60 characters per line. See the "Fixed-Width Formatting" link on my Resources page for an easy tool to accomplish that.

You will also be asked to provide your author bi-line so that readers can contact you. Use this opportunity to promote your business and let readers know what your business provides. Be sure to include the entire URL for your website if you have one, including "http://" as a prefix. Review some of the articles that are distributed for ideas on how to best take advantage of the author bi-line space.

You may also be asked to provide this basic information at the top of your articles:
