Many of our clients have been asking us to reveal a few of our basic tips and tricks history has shown us are PROVEN METHODS to bring in the best results.

These techniques will vary from author to author, but I like to start each of my articles out by giving the due credit to the author.....ME! For most of my articles I use the following format;

As you can see I use both my first name and my last name. The reason for this is that many publishers
will find an author that they really like and they will run searches for other articles that written by specific authors. This helps to get your content in front of as many publishers and posted on as many websites as possible without making too much effort when formatting your articles for submission.

NOTE - BEFORE YOU START TO SUBMIT ARTICLES

I strongly advise that you set up what is called a "pen name" with as many of the submission sites as you possibly can. When you do this I further advise ...
... that you use your full name, as you've done in the beginning. This will take a little bit more time when you are initially setting up your accounts with the various article submitter websites, but in the long run it gives you even more credibility without using any additional effort once this is set up.

NOW FOR OUR NEXT TIP - KEEP IT SIMPLE!

I can not stress this enough! When you start to write and submit articles and post them to all of your favorite article submitter websites the last thing you want to do is create some long winded article that only 1 in 100 people (at best) will be likely to even read. Sadly the average reading level of high school graduates in the United States is only at a 6th to 8th grade comprehension!

AND THEIR ATTENTION SPAN IS EVEN LOWER

Anyone can submit articles, but if you want your viewers to READ MORE OF WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY it's best to break things down a bit. I try to keep my paragraphs small, breaking them down in 3 to 4 sentences each. This simplifies things a bit for my readers and allows them to skim through things quicker to see if there's anything of interest.

I ALSO LIKE TO SEPARATE PARAGRAPHS LIKE THIS

When using article submitter websites you have to realize that things will look a little different on each site that you submit articles to. This simple method of breaking things up a bit allows your viewer a chance to skim for headlines that may make a specific paragraph stand out. Doing this is also another way to simplify things for your reader and other publishers.
