Syndication - Article Distribution Services vs Manual Vs 1 Time Fee Software..

I am confused and trying to sort out some things...

What I am confused about is, if I should use:

* article submission software like submiteaze

* article distribution services like isnare,submityourarticle,very high priced phantom writers to get your article out to publishers

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using these tools and services in my article marketing syndication efforts.

I am not so interested anymore in spinning content but now concerned about just getting my articles out there.

I can distribute my article to just a handful of top directories or use software or distribution services that do submissions to many directories and send out an announcement to their publishers seeking content and on the list to receive notices of potential content that meets their requirements.

Phantom writers is by far the highest priced distribution service $35 per article WOWWWW ;>)

Anyway, I am in the real estate niche dealing with homeowners seeking to sell their home, homebuyers, investors in the offline world.

    "Article distribution services" are not at all the same thing as "syndication", as people using the "syndication model of article marketing" use the term.

    The Phantom Writers' service is in a completely different league from anything else you mention above, and is a different matter altogether. I've had several recommendations for that service, and have as high an opinion of it as anyone can without actually using it themselves (which, unaccountably, I haven't yet done! ).

    What are the advantages and disadvantages of using these tools and services in my article marketing syndication efforts.
    Out of what you've mentioned, I recognise only The Phantom Writers as being "article syndication", per se. A lot of people/services like to use the word "syndication" to cover the fact that what they're actually doing is simply automated mass-submissions - as in "to article directories", "to blog-networks set up for the purpose" (little different), and so on.

    Phantom writers is by far the highest priced distribution service $35 per article
    I think that may be the highest price for the smallest volume? The last time I looked (I admit this was a while ago!) I think it was $200 for 10 articles, which works out to much nearer half of $35/article?

    You are right just came from there, it is 10 for $200. Hummm, the question is how valuable is it. It almost suggest that I am wasting my time with free or lower paying distribution services.

    It almost makes me feel like I may need them to help me get my articles out there. I will take your feedback as them being another league all together.

    If you have never used them, that all suggests to me that if you made it without a service such as this then others can do it, just wondering if they are really worth it.

    Well, let me take a step back, it is probably worth while trying and taking a chance being that it may reach someone that I could not reach ......hummmm

    Thanks

      Expensive in comparison to what?

      LOL

      Isnare will distribute your articles for around $2 an article.

      Fast Submit Articles charges around $6 an article.

      Submit Your Article charges in the range of $8 an article.

      WL Marketing charges according to how many article directories they send your article. Submitting an article to 100 article directories costs $15 an article. Submitting an article to 500 article directories is $60.

      The Phantom Writers charges $35 for one article syndication, and $200 for ten articles to be syndicated.

      Article Marketing Experts charges $395 for the syndication of one article, and $700 to syndicate 3 articles. (Get Published On Top Websites, Blogs, Ezines, Forums - For Less!)

      PR PR net charges $1500 to syndicate one article. (Trade Industry - PR/PR Public Relations)

      LOL

      It sure changes one's perception about what is "expensive", when you have all of the facts on the table, doesn't it?



      Alexa is right. The Phantom Writers is a very different service from Isnare, Fast Submit Articles, Submit Your Article, WL Marketing, and the others that you mentioned above.

      Yet, it is not at the same level of Article Marketing Experts or PR PR net either. :p

      Yes, Alexa has been successful without The Phantom Writers, and you can be successful with article marketing without my help too.

      One of my clients is in the exact same industry you are in. He utilizes my service to promote his Lead Gen sites for his real estate business.

      He has been very happy with my service.

      The Phantom Writers seeks to get your articles published in authority websites and newsletters that have large audiences.

      Link building is not the main benefit, but an extra benefit.

      Provided you bring me quality content, then you should find my system to be profitable and worth your time and money.

      Not every article will be a winner, but enough of them can win big enough to more than compensate for the higher cost of my service.

      Especially in your industry.

      I know you are making really good money per transaction, so you won't need too many new customers to allow my service to pay for itself.

      My other client in your industry earns anywhere from $400 to $5000 per transaction. How about you?

      In addition to my service, he is also using PR PR net. He is paying his writer $525 to write the article, and he is paying PR PR net $1500 to syndicate it.

      Maybe I should raise my prices.

      The people who have syndicated more than ten articles with my service have done so for only one reason:
      The service pays for itself in the higher value and reward that it brings to their businesses.

        Bill,

        A few quick questions for you about The Phantom Writers service, as I couldn't find it in the FAQs on your site...

        1. What if I send you an article that turns out to be a total dud? I submit the article to you but nobody out there wants to accept my article? Am I still out the $35 for the article? Or would you be able to "prescreen" my article based on your team's experience and tell me ahead of time that my article needs to be rewritten in order to be published?

        2. Some niches have more publishers than others. Would it be the case that in one niche, my article would be sent to 100 publishers whereas in another niche, it would only be sent to 5 - because of the available publishers who happen to participate in your network?

        3. Do we get some kind of confirmation that the articles have been published? Do we get a list of the URLs once they have been published?

        4. Is there a minimum length required for articles? Most article directories require you to have a minimum of 500 words. I have been reading the article syndication threads here and it seems that 1000+ words is ideal for increasing the odds of getting your article syndicated.

        Thanks!

          Bill, I'm thinking of using your syndication service as well (once my site is ready to recieve traffic anyway) and am interested in the answers to these questions as well.

        Just a wild guess here, but could it be that when someone willingly pays over $2,000 just to get an article "out there," they might be making rather more than $2,000 back in profit?

        I suppose the other possibility is insanity ...
