Article Syndication - Harder for ezines/newsletters than blog posts?

Not all sites syndicate but virtually all sites can decide to publish your article on their blog without going extra miles. For sites to syndicate they have to have link to various other sites that accepts content, this is usually done through agreement or processes like automation. I guess that is just the reason why more sites accept content than syndication.

And for using your article in their newsletter, it's really rare because you barely can fit into their purported newsletter of their calender.

Newsletter publishers have to maintain the interest of their readers, or they will cease to have readers.

Quality of content is important, as is the match between your content and what the readers want to read.

Publishers are very selective as to topic and the style of article they will accept.

To get a good idea of what a publisher will accept, you must read their newsletter.

Once you understand what the publisher wants, then matching your article to their needs is pretty straight forward. But then, there are others competing with you for eyeballs, so you have to outperform your competition while giving the publisher what he/she wants.

Just because one of your articles is turned away does not mean that all of your articles will be turned away. If your article does a good job at matching the interests of readers, and it is well written, then you must bide your time until your content fits the needs of the publisher.

And don't be afraid to send more than one article their way... Once you get published once, it will be easier to be published repeatedly.

One last note... Some newsletter publishers require exclusive articles. Offer that first -- if the publisher's audience is large enough to justify doing so -- until you are sure they will accept syndicated content...
