Passing articles to articles directories is the last stop right?

My next batch of paid articles is about to come and I just want to know if there are other steps that I should do about it.

First is to post it on our blog/site right?
Then wait for it to be indexed. (Usually within 12-24 hours)
Then pass it to article directories. (I pass it to E Zine Articles)
And then what?
That should do it right?

    Always. Never give an article directory the initial indexation-rights to previously unpublished content. http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...marketing.html

    Yes (usually).

    I do that last of all (though it doesn't make all that much difference, as long as you've had it indexed on your own site). But in-between having it indexed on my site and putting a copy in EZA, I have my entire article marketing process.

    Putting it in EZA (and some other directory, if you want to use a second one as well) is only a way of achieving passive syndication. It can be very good, and very worthwhile, and it's certainly worth doing, of course. But it can also be slow-moving, variable in its outcome, and unreliable. For an article marketer, it's a good afterthought, but only really "an afterthought" to the article marketing process itself: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post6575732

      Once again, Alexa and her handy list of highly relevant links saves me from carpal tunnel risk typing out an answer...

    You know Alexa, whenever I ask a question, and (I thank heavens) you give your an answer, I always wonder when will I have the knowledge or mastery of all the information in this forum to be able to advise like you and recommend a LOT of other links to other useful references.

    Then I look at the number of posts that you currently have, then I look at mine... Then I start to go back to my problems and think about my current achievable goals instead.

    Whew. Thanks Alexa. ^_^

      You will. There are vast areas about which I know nothing. And I'm technophobic and incompetent at techie things, and I have to outsource some things that 99% of Warriors can do in their sleep. (So I'll probably be coming to you for advice some time in future, anyway; don't worry about it!). :rolleyes:

      IMHO, Alexa's constant and helpful responses have less to do with "knowledge or mastery" of any particular subject, and more to do with the spirit of giving and organizational skills.

      Don't get me wrong, she's smart... but that is not what distinguishes her from other members of this forum. You can't swing a dead cat by its tail without hitting a smart person here.

      I think the single most important thing to learn from Alexa is her attitude. She manages to be a forum marketing genius while never, ever making someone feel that they are being sold to. This is the hallmark of success
