How to find the best article submission sites

 

One of the best ways to get your content out there, attract new customers, and build links to your website or social media channels is through article submission sites. Article submission sites will help you do all of these things, but with so many article submission sites out there, it can be difficult to know which ones are right for you. To help you make the most of this free marketing tactic, this guide will go over where to find high-quality article submission sites that suit your needs and how to submit your content in a way that helps your business grow without harming its reputation in the process.

 

1) The Trouble With Article Submission Sites

 

There are a million and one article-submission sites out there, but not all of them are created equal. Some pay very little and some have minimal traffic, meaning that when you do get an opportunity to write for a site, you’re doing so in front of a handful of readers. If you’re trying to expand your reach or up your affiliate income, submitting articles on subpar sites is no way to go about it. Before we get into how to find reputable article-submission websites, let’s first talk about why these kinds of websites aren’t always as good as they sound.

 

2) What Article Submission Sites Can Do For You

 

When it comes to marketing your business online, you have a lot of different options. But if you’re on a budget and looking for specific results (i.e., better search engine rankings), there are few tactics that will work as well as article submissions. Article submissions work because they are highly targeted: when you submit an article to an industry website, chances are good that only people who actually care about that industry will be reading it (and possibly sharing it). The other important thing about article submissions is that they’re easy: almost all reputable websites allow writers to submit articles for free. The key, then, is choosing a reputable site—and following their submission guidelines. In today’s post I’ll show you how.

 

3) Why They're So Popular

 

Article submission isn’t anything new. In fact, it’s one of the first ways new writers learn about professional writing and building a career in content writing. It also just happens to be one of my favorite freelance gigs! There are two reasons why you can find so many article-submission websites out there: First, people love reading articles. In fact, content marketing has reached an all-time high in 2017 with 79% of executives saying they produce customer-centric content. Second, online publishers love getting their hands on free articles that they can publish without giving you a dime for your work. The end result is a wealth of places where you can submit free articles (also known as guest posts).

 

4) Why So Many Sites Exist

 

If you've been online for more than a day, you're probably familiar with your average article directory or SEO site. They're everywhere these days and can appear highly relevant when it comes to natural search results. So why do they exist? Well, it's because readers search on Google for very specific information. For example, say someone is looking for how to lose weight without exercise. If that happens, millions of people will perform that search on Google every month. Since so many people are looking for that kind of information, these types of sites are in constant need of new content.

 

5) How To Use Them Effectively

 

You’ll see a variety of names for these types of webpages, including article directories, content marketplaces, and article banks. Regardless of what you call them, they’re all free places where you can publish your work for potential readers. The downside is that not every website will bring traffic or exposure—you have to use them effectively if you want a real benefit from your submissions. Here are some tips on how to get quality results from article directory submissions: ~~~If you are truly serious about marketing yourself as an expert in your field then it is absolutely critical that you post a minimum of one new article per week on as many article bank sites as possible that accept original content.
