I found something interesting on the CF Membership site for article marketing. It's called Contributing. Basically, you find an active Newsletter in your niche, and find out if they accept free content. I thought this was a great idea, but have not yet tried it myself. Being a newbie, I lack confidence in the article department, but I'm working on it. Has anyone else tried this? Thanks,
This is a sound concept. Its also great for building up credit to your website, because you can often link back to your website from the article directory, giving your site more credit about a given subject.
if you are in the IM (internet marketing) niche, you can use a service called content crooner to submit your articles to publishers. Content Crooner has a monthly fee attached...the price is like $45.00 dollars a month. It could be worth it for what you are looking to do.
