Publisher Dashboard Live ..

After months of behind-the-scenes development, including upgrades to our distribution system, I can proudly announce our brand new Publisher Dashboard system is now live.

This allows publishers to sign up to our network, add any number of ‘Publishing Nodes’ (eg. email addresses, article directories), set categories, decide how many articles they want to receive per day, and so on. They can even Pause and later Resume article submissions.

It’s all designed to further grow our distribution network by helping to both attract and retain publishers to our network.

It provides full facilities for our publishers so that they can effectively manage what they receive from us … full details here

If you haven’t already, why not sign up as a publisher yourself and get regular quality content you can publish as and when you wish? Plus it’s all for free – go here now:

How To Write 100 Articles In A Year

100 articles is your marathon.

I got some great feedback from you guys on the post about aiming for 100 articles, and I’d like to offer a plan for making this grand achievement more doable.

I know that when a huge goal looms ahead of you it can be daunting (especially when you’re just starting out!), but anything is doable when you break it into steps.

Why Aim For 100 Articles?

Do you know where most people go wrong with article marketing?

A lack of CONSISTENCY.

That’s right–the most common reason why an article marketing campaign “fails” is not because of a lack of technical knowledge but rather for something as simple as not submitting enough articles on a regular basis.

How To Write A Short & Snappy Article

An article is like a bowl of soup...

I have always tended to stay away from the shorter articles, but now I’m seeing that there are some perks to both medium length (which I usually write) and the shorter ones.

The Perks Of Writing A Shorter Article:

• Writing shorter articles can help you get out of a writing slump, if you are used to writing medium or longer articles.

• Shorter articles (when written correctly) can be more hard hitting and straight to the point, which can make it easier for a reader to glean information from them.

• Shorter articles force you to mercilessly edit your content–you will learn to trim any superfluous wording, leaving just the ‘meat’.

• Shorter articles can be written more quickly–it’s a good feeling to be able to write several quality articles at one sitting.

• Let’s be honest–writing a shorter article is better than writing no article at all, isn’t it?

Create A Sneeze Page For Your Articles

Sneeze pages show off your previously published content.

Have you wondered how you can get the most bang for your buck with the articles you’ve submitted?

7 Common Fears Of New Article Writers

If you’re a newcomer to article marketing, I know how intimidating it can feel to be faced with the prospect of writing not just one quality article, but a steady stream of them.

For many people, the last time they wrote a piece of content that needed to be top notch was in high school or college, so it’s no wonder that the thought of starting an article marketing campaign can bring up feelings of nervousness.

I’d like to assure you that it’s okay to be a beginner!

Even the most experienced, proficient, and successful article marketers were at one time novices. And it’s actually a perk that article marketing requires steadily writing articles, because it’s only through experience that any of us see improvement.
