Speeding up the syndication process...
Can this work:
Set up a single opt-in list for ezine/website owners to get your new content, so you don't have to e-mail them individually.
Just add a plain text + HTML article and send out a broadcast to everyone on your list.
If you are cross promoting sites/ezines, say you have a finance blog and you issue articles to MMO/personal development/business blogs, you would set up a new list for each niche.
Also, would you only ask them to sign up to your list after you have built a relationship, maybe 2 or 3 published articles.
Cheers.
