A passion for writing can be useful for people who own a website and for individuals who want to earn money from their writing. Distribution of newly written material is easily achieved through directory websites that offer free submission of freelance articles. In doing so, you will need to observe a few important points to ensure successful submission and to avoid rejection.

This article sets out useful information that can be of help for successful article submission when using these article distribution websites.

As a writer, the first thing that you need to focus on is your article's title. Is it interesting enough to draw the interest of your prospective readers? Then, where a summary is needed make sure that it describes the entirety of your article. Keep track of your word count and always work to the number of words per article as required by the distributor.

Most distributors require a minimum and a maximum number keywords distributed evenly within the article that are directly relevant to the subject matter. Ensure the keyword is included in the title, within the first paragraph of the article and then two or even three times after that. This allows search engines to identify the keywords of the article without the narrative looking unnatural to the human reader.

Your bibliography should justify your expertise on the subject. Make the information short and simple but complete. Exaggeration will just make you appear too proud and unprofessional. There are instances where some article distributors will not permit the use of special fonts or characters in an article. Others do not accept the use of HTML code. It can therefore be advantageous to restrict your article format to the bare essentials, preferable submitted as a .txt file.

Selecting a particular distributor is as important as having a well constructed article. Verify that the particular distributor you wish to use has an established and credible reputation. Some websites allow an author to edit and tweak their articles during submission. Usually writers are also permitted to perform further editing after submission if some errors have slipped through.

When submitting articles to directories, it is important to select a category that is of closest relevance to the article subject. The more relevant the category is, the more likelihood that it will be found and read by your prospective audience.

Another important aspect of article submission is to understand how article distribution works. This can help make your writing both easier and more optimized to the need of the reader. All authors should read and understand the terms and conditions and rules to be followed in using the specific articles directory. Whilst there are many authors writing numerous articles on varying topics, the demand for quality articles with good content is increasing daily. Thus having your newly written article accepted for publication, provided it meets basic quality requirements, should not be a problem.
