I. From The Editor

Last month I shared with you the difficult decision I was facing concerning the profitability of this e-zine. I received several thoughtful responses to my dilemma giving me a great deal of encouragement and solid advice that I am contemplating. Subscribers overwhelming wanted me to tell them how they could help. Listed below are several things you can do to keep this publication going:

1. Recommend this e-zine to your e-zine subscribers and customers. Help me build a larger subscriber base.

2. Please take the time to review my recommended resources and services. If you purchase anything from me or through my affiliate links then you are contributing to the success of ATSU.

3. Offer me constructive advice, send me your article marketing questions and suggest topics. I spend a great deal of time creating and researching topics for ATSU and any help you give me cuts down on this time.

4. I will include an Amazon Honor System link in each issue as my “tip jar.” Visit the tip jar if you find ATSU helpful and you want to contribute financially.

Thank you so much for your unwavering support. With your help, I can add so much more value to ATSU.

II. Feature Article – Free Article Submission Automation Resources

If you are really bootstrapping your business then you may not have enough money to purchase submission software for your articles. That’s okay… I’ve been there and done that. The good news is that there are some free options out there and I’m going to tell you about them today!

Artemis Lite

Artemis Lite submits a unique article to every publisher on the included list. This will help you avoid any “duplicate content” penalties that Search Engines may enact in the
future. BTW, Artemis Lite doesn’t rewrite your article in any way. You won’t have gibberish submitted under your name. There is no word substitution or any meaningless header, middle and footer paragraphs added. You’ll like how Artemis Lite makes articles unique and it won’t embarrass you when you see your article in print like some other tools will!

This free article software allows writers to submit custom written articles to all major article directories using this fully automated program. The entire software package is
unlike other article submission programs, which can cost up to $200. Free Article Software package does not put hidden links or comments in your article submissions. The software is also designed to be 100% SPAM FREE, so each and every article you submit to directories looks hand submitted.

V. Article Submission Tips & Tricks – Query Letter Sample

Some online and many off-line publications assign articles to writers based on query letters. A query letter is simply a letter written to offer an article on a particular topic
and for a particular publication. If your query is accepted, you will then be assigned an article, offered a contract, and in many cases, you will be paid. I wrote a query letter for a client that received a wonderful response and I thought I would share it with my dear readers. You will see that I customized this letter for the association and for the topic (business etiquette). Use this query as a guideline of how creative you can be in order to get article assignments.

Sample begins

Dear _________________:

Imagine that one of your members, Jane Smith, an administrative assistant, has applied for the position of office manager of her firm. Jane has outstanding administrative skills, and no one is better at organizing complex projects or negotiating office supply contracts. Unfortunately Jane lacks critical skills in business etiquette. She does not know what to do when introducing a new client to a partner in her firm nor does she understand how to conduct herself professionally at office parties. She often embarrasses herself and others in business/social situations. Despite her superior talents, she will not receive the promotion she deserves.

This scenario takes place everyday in the lives of some of your members. They may have the best education and above average administrative skills but go nowhere in their careers because they don’t understand the nuances of business etiquette.

IAAP can help its members succeed by providing OfficePro readers with the information they need regarding manners in the workplace. As a business etiquette expert… (client biography and writing credits went here).

I would be honored to provide an original article (or articles) for OfficePro, covering such topics as e-mail etiquette, telephone courtesy, networking skills, office party conduct or making powerful first impressions. All articles would be geared towards the perspective and the needs of administrative professionals. Samples of my articles are available online at (URL went here).

Please feel free to contact me by e-mail or by telephone to discuss your editorial needs and how I can help the members of IAAP succeed in life and in business.

Warmest wishes,

Your Name
Your E-mail Signature

  Bonnie Jo Davis

I am a Virtual Assistant providing many services to my clients. My favorite service is article submissions. I submit articles for my clients every day and have been doing so for almost nine years.

This technique worked so well that we put other expensive marketing projects on hold so that my speaker could travel all over the world on paid speaking engagements.

Over time I discovered this amazing technique will work for people who do not consider themselves writers. It will work in print and on-line. It will work if your topic is spirituality, hobbies, family, the internet, marketing, business, etc. You name it, the possibilities are limitless! I went on to make more than 70% of my income by handling article submission projects for other professionals.

*IMNewswatch would like to thank Bonnie Jo Davis for granting permission to reprint the latest newsletter.
