Become a Killer MLM Article Marketer Part 2 - Submit Your Article

Being a killer MLM article marketer is all about having a serious presence on the internet, and developing a strong internet presence is all about article submissions. We told you in Part 1 of this series how to write a great article and now we're going to tell you how to submit your articles so that your prospects will be able to easily find you.

First, you'll have to find the right article directories, the ones with the most traffic so that you can reach the greatest number of prospects. Most successful MLM article marketers agree that submitting each article to the to 5 or 10 directories is sufficient to get good traffic. To find listings of the best article directories, just Google "top 10 article directories." This will pull up listings that give you the article directories with the highest traffic or rankings. Once you narrow the list down to the top 5 or 10 best suited for your articles, go to each one and sign up for an author account. You'll be required to create a profile for each so set aside a little extra time for this step.

Once you've created all your accounts in your targeted article directories, all you have to do is submit your articles on a regular basis. Here are a few tips that pro article marketers use to help make the process easier and help their articles turn out better.

1) Preparation: Gather up 3 or 4 articles to submit at once. This will save you time. Before you begin the submission process, make sure you have a keyword-dense title, list of keywords, short description, and resource box (a short blurb about you and your contact information, including your website address) written for each article ahead of time. Most article marketers have these in a spreadsheet or text document from which they can easily copy and paste. This will save you a lot of time.

2) Resource Boxes: Some article directories will have a separate field for your resource box and others will not. For the directories that do not offer a resource box, be sure to include your resource box information at the end of your article, separated by some spaces or some characters, like a bunch of plus signs in a row.

3) Links: Many article directories will accept affiliate links (that is, links that have anything after the main domain name). If you want to direct prospects to an affiliate link, do what pro article marketers do. Go to a domain name service like GoDaddy and buy a relevant domain name, such as health4you dot com, and have it forwarded to your affiliate link. Then just list the domain name you bought from GoDaddy in your resource box instead of your affiliate link.

4) Text Cleaning Software: If you use a word processing program to write you articles chances are that the text of your article will contain special characters, like smart quotes (the quotes that curve inward rather than being perfectly vertical) or em dashes (the super long dashes). The bad news is that these will show up as funny characters on the internet and nothing makes you look like less of a pro article marketer than having that kind of junk in your article. To avoid this problem download any free text cleaning software. We use one called textsoap. Clean your article of smart quotes and em dashes, then save the article in text format. When you go to submit your article, make sure you submit the "cleaned" version of it. To double check your work, preview your article before submitting it. Most article directories give you this option during the submission process.
