The process of how to submit an article can vary, dependent on the needs and guidelines of the publication and whether you are to be a paid freelancer or an entrepreneur offering written expertise to drive traffic to her or his Web site.
In this article we’ll talk about getting paid for article writing and how to submit an article in a way that will give you the best chance of being published.
Each publisher has their own method for accepting articles. Straying from this method will get your article tossed in the garbage heap. Take the time to learn about the publication to which you intend to submit, and the writer’s guidelines to submit an article.
Let’s take a look at some of the more prominent periodicals and the ways they require you to submit an article. Here is a sample of a guideline for a nationally prominent women’s monthly magazine. The guidelines state that its audience is women who are married and between 28 and 44 years old. Most of the readers have children 10 years old or younger, and considerably more than half work outside the home. The editor states that before you submit an article you should have read the last six issues of the magazine so you understand its focus, the subjects it typically covers and the treatment of those subjects.
The non-fiction subjects that this magazine seeks articles on are parenting, social, marriage, sex, profiles on newsworthy people, true crime, health and dramatic narratives.
This editor wishes that you submit a query rather than an article and that you include clips and an SASE (self addressed stamped envelope.) The article you submit should be one of two sizes: 1000-1500 words, or 2500-3000 words. The editors will respond within three months to your query, and this magazine pays upon publication, which is typically six months after the article you submit is accepted.
Another less prominent magazine for women in the Carolinas, asks that you submit the article in its entirety. Your best bet of publication with this magazine is if you submit an article on useful news about careers, fashion, health, relationships, home, and food. An article is generally published three months after you submit it. It should be 1000-5000 words. You should get a response to your submission within a month.
As to getting paid for writing articles, a new article publishing system has recently been launched, that enables writers to earn a recurring income. This means you get paid month on month for just writing one article. This article publishing and marketing system is based on a ‘Revenue Sharing’ principle, which means that there is no charge to join the program and they do all the marketing and promotions on your behalf.
