2. Networking with e-zine publishers in your field is a good
business strategy. These publishers are one of the most
important parts of your marketing and it is suggested
you start building a list of appropriate e-zines now.
3. There are ezine directories that can direct you to
appropriate places. Vist them and subscribe to several
e-zines in your chosen area. Don't try submitting articles
until you get a feel for the e-zine by reading a couple of
issues. The Directory of Ezines at
www.directoryofezines.com , along with several others,
even tell you information if article submissions are
accepted, where to send them, and what rules tofollow.
This information is priceless.
4. Contact the ezine publisher directly if you decide to
submit an article. Most e-zine owners like to know the
person who is sending them an article for publication.
Not contacting the publisher first does not create a good
raport.
5. Send a personal note telling the publisher how much
you like their publication. List something specific you
especially like about the ezine. Next, tell the publisher
you believe readers would like your articles and ask if
you might submit one or more. Finding one specialized
point within the general interest area will increase your
chances of being positively received.
6. Don't send tons of articles all at once and overload the
publisher's already full mailbox. Limit yourself to
sending only one article weekly, and sometimes even
one a month. Make the e-zine publisher feel important
by providing short articles once a week that you wrote
just for that e-zine. E-zine publishers like knowing they
are the only place a person can find a particular article.
