Subject: Where to submit articles
Jim, I've just begun to write and submit articles to ezine editors in hopes of drumming up some traffic to my stock market advice site. So far I've submitted just two to a handful of ezine editors, and I can see that this strategy really works! It's helping me get site visitors and grow my own ezine list rapidly. Now I'd like to send my articles to more editors but I need a list. Can you help?

Now it's time for you to step up your article submission campaign. You do this by submitting articles on a monthly basis to your own growing list of ezine editors.
Your next step is to visit a few ezine search engines and search on keywords such as "financial", "investing" and "stocks". A few great ezine search engines are at http://www.ezineseek.com and http://www.e-zinez.com. Once there, start gathering a list of editors in your target area. Be sure to get the editor name and email address and whether or not they accept articles.
Next you'll want to get to know each editor you plan to submit to. For this reason, steer clear of the typical "Dear editor" submissions. You can address them personally each time you submit by keeping your editor contact list in a program such as Swiss Army App.
With this program you can grow, manage and mail to your list personally. All the big internet marketers use email merge tools to stay in touch with contacts personally. It just makes sense when trying to stay in touch with growing lists.
This should help you get your article submissions into full swing. Just remember, don't overdo it. An article submission or two per month is plenty. Many ezine editors get a dozen a day, so make yours stand out by personalizing the subject line in addition to the message itself.
Thanks again for writing.
