About Me
 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.
Following is the story
of how I discovered this free promotion technique.
Years ago I
worked for a
professional speaker, consultant and author. His goals
included increasing
the number of his direct speaking engagements and selling
more copies of
his book. His dream was to be published in every major
magazine related to
his field. He gave me a list of those magazines and I
decided to start
with Training Magazine. I crafted a query letter
based on a story
idea by the speaker and e– mailed it to the editor who
quickly responded
and agreed to give my employer an article assignment. The
article was
published shortly thereafter, featured on the cover of
the magazine, and
the phone began ringing off the hook.
That one article resulted in several paid speaking
engagements and a
long–term training contract. Thus began my fascination
with using
interesting and well crafted articles for free publicity
in print and
on–line. I refined my process, created logs and
checklists and in a
matter of months my speaker was published in every
magazine on his list!
Off–line and on–line magazines and newsletters we hadn't
even contacted
began calling and e–mailing the office asking for
articles by the
speaker. I even learned that a new article was not
needed for every
assignment. Editors were often happy with a reprint
that was customized
for their audience.
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.
