Top Ten Reasons to Submit your articles to Article Directories

Author: 1starticles

Many writers struggle with the decision of whether or not to write ""for free"" - however - unless you are a wealthy,

professionally published author - I believe there are many advantages to writing articles and offering them for free

publication online.

Writers can truly benefit from submitting their articles to online Article Directories for publishers to view (for free).

Below is my list of the top ten reasons you should write articles and allow them to be published for free online.

1.The first, most obvious benefit to you as a writer, is the opportunity to get your work published.

2.The second reason is FREE PUBLICITY! - Most article Directories online allow you to include a ""resource box"" at the end of

your article. see http://www.1starticl es.com/newstuff.php for an index

of lists and web sites where you can submit your articles for free publication.

3.The resource box is your opportunity to SELL yourself, your web site, your products, your services etc... Below is an

example of a resource box:

4.By writing articles for free publication on a specific topic, you can establish yourself as an expert in that field.

5.By submitting your work to article Directories and allowing web sites to publish it for free, you multiply the potential

number of visitors to your site dramatically.

(For example: If you write an article and publish it on your website or submit to a paying publication (and it's accepted) -

the only people who will see you work and/or visit your web site are either the people who already visit your web site and/or

the people who subscribe to the publication that prints your article. Where as, if you write an article and more than one web site publishes it, the chances are very good that a significantly

larger number of readers will read and/or come to your web site.)

6.There are literally thousands of article Directories publishers online (here is a list:

http://www.1starticl es.com/newstuff.php )- all looking for one thing - GREAT

CONTENT. Your article(s) (if written well and about a popular subject) are definitely in demand.

7.It costs you nothing - not a dime - to submit your articles to article Directories for free online. The only thing that's

required of you is your time (and your ability to write a good article that people will want to read). Think about it - is there any other FREE way for writers to get published, recognized and publicized online? Just submit your articles to online article Directories.

8.By listing your work in article Directories, you have the opportunity to establish new contacts and lasting relationships

with professional publishers online. Once publishers choose your articles for publication, they usually contact you via email to let you know when your work will

be published in their publication (with a link to their web site). Their notification email to you will frequently include an

invitation to submit more articles to their site. (And if they do not directly invite you to contribute, they have still

provided with their URL - which allows you to take the initiative to view their publication and consider possible future

submissions.)

9.By getting your articles published online, you have opened the door for more traffic to your web site, new readers

(possibly paying publishers and/or agents looking for good writers in a specific field), and name recognition across the web.

10.Although writing articles for free article Directories does not pay you directly, it does provide the potential for

earning money via product/class/service sales on your web site.
