We have now done all the prep work.  We have chosen a product, purchased a domain name and set up the website.  We have found at least one keyword phrase for our product and written an article.  Then lastly, we created our resource box, our bio box.  Now we want to submit that article and get some money coming in!!!

Here are the top 4 article directory sites that you want to go visit to submit your article:

1. http://www.ezinearticles.com
2. http://www.articlecity.com
3. http://www.goarticles.com
4. http://www.articlemarketers.com

There are more, many, many more article directory sites, but these will be your top traffic sites (the ones that you will see the most results from).

Visit each of these sites individually and sign up as an author.  Then log into your account and submit an article.  All you should need to do is simply copy and paste your article details (title, body, bio box).  Then you will preview the article and submit it.  Once you submit the article, the approval process usually takes anywhere from 3 - 10 business days (so be patient).  Once you have done this for all 4 article directories you wait for them to tell you whether they have approved the article or not.  Chances are very high that they will accept your article… I’ve personally never had one rejected.  Make sure you submit the article to the proper category because submitting to the wrong category is the biggest reason articles are rejected.

One thing I feel I need to stress here is that you want to make sure that you include your link to your website in your bio box so that people can go there and purchase the product.  Make sure that you set up the link using each directory’s rules.  This is how you are going to make money so make sure that it is correct.

Next time we will talk about what you can do once the article is approved at the various directories to make sure the search engines find your article and list it in their results.
