Ezine Publishers Want These 5 Things From Article Authors/Writers
Want your articles to get picked up and reprinted by top name brand ezine publishers? While there is no shortage of authors willing to give their articles away for free with hopes of attracting ezine publishers who will pick up your article to send to their list as supplemental content or 'guest expert' - there is a gap between two very different types of articles: Type 1: Those That Get Reprinted Article marketing can help you achieve fame, traffic, credibility, sales, referrals and much more, but not if your articles don't make it into viral distribution. Here are the top 5 factors that ezine publishers look for when they decide which articles to publish: 1) Does the article have zero self serving links in the article body? If so, good. Loading up the body of your article with affiliate links or other obvious self-serving links is a liability. Your short-term thinking or scarcity based thinking (that you need to get an immediate return from your article) will keep your article from ever seeing top results. 2) Does the article have no more than 2 self serving links in the resource box? If so, good. Your resource box at the bottom of your article should be short, sweet, succinct, to the point, and be less than 10% of the total word count of your article. Ezine publishers don't mind giving you name credit and a link for sharing your article with them, but they don't want to look like a fool by being required to reprint a short novel about all of your websites and accomplishments. 3) Is the article short (250-700 words)? If so, great. We live in a 'sound byte' economy. No one has time to really go deep when it comes to reading email newsletters. It's proven that the shorter articles achieve a much higher distribution than the longer ones. 4) Does it deliver quality original content with numbered lists, bullet points or easy to glean information that their audience would find valuable? If so, good. Key point: Make sure your articles are 100% original content. Anything less is really an insult. 5) Is the author well recognized or respected within their market niche. If so, excellent! Ezine publishers have an ego just like you do. They want to use articles in their email newsletters that make them look good. The more you use your articles to help yourself gain credibility for your unique expertise within your niche, the greater the chances you'll find your articles getting picked up by your ezine publishing peers. Hint: You'll need to write at least 100 or more articles before a top dog takes your credibility seriously. The greater majority of authors think they can put 1-6 articles into distribution and that's all that they will need to make it big. How erroneous their thinking is... You can quickly separate yourself by putting 100 more articles into distribution before this quarter is over. Yes, it is possible; Yes, it has been done; and Yes, you can do it. There are many other considerations that ezine publishers look for, such as: About The Author: Christopher M.
