Yay Ezine!
I just received Platinum Author status with EzineArticles, which means I can submit as many articles to them as my little heart desires. So far, article writing is my favorite form of online marketing. It allows you to be creative and express yourself, which I love.
I have to admit, some of my articles are really just a form of personal expression. It’s nice to vent and offer my perspective. Other articles are more focused on specific products and marketing. It’s really up to you what you choose to submit based on what you want to get out of the process.
I like EzineArticles more than other articles sites because it gets a large amount of traffic, has a user-friendly platform, and is somewhat regulated. Many article sites just let anyone put up an article. At Ezine, you have to get approved and are given different types of author status based on the quality of your work.
I’ve submitted eleven articles so far, and I get more views this way than by using my Squidoo page or chatting in online forums, (although these are also good ways to get your material out into the cyber-sphere).
If you haven’t tried article writing, give it a go. If you’re already a writer of any sort (even if you just wrote a bunch of papers in school) it might turn out to be really satisfying. And that’s the ultimate goal for me: to find a way to make money online, and from home, that is personally satisfying.
Good luck all!
