If you are successful in getting your articles published, you will gain many new subscribers and lots of additional visitors to your site. How many articles should you write? Quite simply, as many as you want and can write! ideally, you should write a different one for each of the newsletters in which you would like to be published. Submitting your articles It is extremely easy to find material to fill your newsletter. As entioned earlier, many writers are eager to see their article in your newsletter, and there are many articles flying around the Net that have been used in newsletters time and time again. This is both a problem and an opportunity. It is a problem in that many newsletter owners, who are tired of using the same re-hashed articles in their publications, are starting to move towards more original content. It is an opportunity in that, while your articles remain written but unpublished, they are exactly what the newsletter owners are looking for. This, then, is the way to add such value to your articles that publishers will be eager to use them. Send one article to only one publisher at a time, and offer them exclusive first publication rights. In other words, make them a guarantee that they are the first and only publisher you have sent your article to so far, and if they accept your article for publication, no-one else (including yourself) will be allowed to publish it until it has appeared in their own newsletter.
