Submitting articles to ezines

Hello, all

Might be a dumb question...but here goes:

I want to submit articles to as many ezines, and newsletters as possible.

Is it considered acceptable to have a list of the email addresses from all the ezines that you send your articles to and send the same email to all with your article/s included.

In other words if they know you've submitted the same article to many ezines, will this get your article rejected.

Thanks for any and all responses.

    I don't quite know about "acceptable" (you'd have to do a poll of ezine publishers to form an impression of that, really?) but it's certainly very highly inadvisable.

    Why not write great articles, and offer them to prominent websites and ezine publishers one at a time? That is, one article offered to your list one at a time, with personal messages, until one accepts the article.

    Tell them that they have exclusive rights to publish the article (with your resource box) for 90 days, or whatever. After the 90 days, you may publish the article on your own site, but you won't offer it to others.

    Start at the top of your list, with the most important site/ ezine, and work your way down, until one takes you up on your offer.

    The benefits:

    * You form relationships

    * You get great links

    * You make money (we hope.)

    Nowadays, people want exclusive content. You may as well give them what they want. :-) (Because you're getting what you want.)

      You should definitely start at the top -- probably ezinearticles, simply because they will not accept duplicate content there. However, if you want to start there and submit to others, it will be perfectly acceptable in that case.

      But branch out and see where you get the best response to your work.

      Good luck!

        That's an article directory.

        This thread is about ezines. :rolleyes:

        An ezine is an "electronic magazine", circulated by email to its niche-targeted subscribers.

        For the record, this is completely wrong.

        All my 1,600+ articles in EZA had been published in various other places (some of them in many other places), in identical form, prior to being submitted there.

        EZA themselves specifically invite their authors to submit articles previously published on our own sites (provided they're long enough and comply with the editorial guidelines, obviously). It says so on their site, in their blog, in the introductory emails they send out to new authors, in their article marketing course, and so on.

        There are 100+ threads here discussing and clarifying this point, many of them with links to EZA's site, blog and so on. This one will start your collection, if you like.

        It won't make the slightest difference either way, in which order you do it.

        Article directories (including EZA) don't require previously unpublished content.

        And by the way, you meant to say "syndicated content", not "duplicate content".

        They're two different things, as well: Article Marketers - Lay the Duplicate Content Myth To Rest Once and For All | Internet Marketing and Publishing

        Apart from all that, well done.

        Wrong. You are completely misinformed.

        Of course Ezine Articles accepts duplicate content. They actually provide publishers who use Wordpress with a plugin which will instantly submit any article you publish on your blog directly to Ezine Articles.

        Unfortunately you are confusing the words "duplicate" and "original". In most article directories' TOS it clearly states their requirement for "original content", meaning "not previously published on their website

    Buy a membership in the Directory of Ezines. It is the best $197 one-time investment you can make for finding ezines in hundreds of niches.
