Many new writers have been asking me for advice for quite some time and though I could quite easily write an article about this and publish it elsewhere, I decided to post it directly to my own website for a change and with any luck those who read it will find it helpful.
There are many ways to increase traffic to your site and articles, although I am specifically speaking about articles in this case and none of these ways involve reposting your articles on other sites such as wikinut for example, in fact, they decrease the value of the original article. People often make the mistake in believing they will be doubling the amount they get paid on thier work by doing so, however; this is not the case. When publishing an article and then reposting that same article a couple of days later to another site,though most don't know it, the second site will pay you very little for that already published article and, on top of that, the original then goes into a low pay scale because you published it elsewhere and your so called great article then becomes virtually dead in the water as you are then getting less traffic to both.
When looking at it this way, it doesn't sound quite as good as you first thought huh.It really is a no win situation when you repost your work and apart from everything else I have just mentioned, instead of taking the time to write another quality article, you actually just wasted that time reposting the article that you will now be getting paid less for!
Places like Factoidz do not even allow you to repost articles for three days because they know it is taking away the traffic from the original article.
Regardless to say, that would be my first tip to new content writers, instead of wasting your time reposting your articles, spend it on marketing the original and writing another article. I never repost my work but I do market my work extensively and that truly is one of the key points for any good writer, knowing how to market thier work efficiently and effectively.
An excellent place to start is with the usage of search engines, they not only increase the value of your article, they effortlessly add your article to 25 different search engines at a time! Try a search for free web submitters, it costs you nothing but time but it is time well spent. Below I have added 4 free web submission sites that I use to make it easier for you, all I ask is that you click an add or two on my website as a thankyou to me for taking the time to write this as well as add these very useful links you should get accustomed to using.
Also Facebook, Stumble upon and Twitter are excellent ways to market your work, especially if you spend some time on there checking out others stuff, if you are not willing to give back and put the time in doing so, these networking sites, needless to say, they are a waste of time.
Two other places you can market your work are Redgage and Shetoldme which have some nice little added perks for posting your link especially RedGage. They give you a small percentage of the money they receive on ads to post your links to their site, you are also entered into a daily contest as well for 25 dollars. This is a win win because not only are you marketing your work, you are getting paid to do so and it does not take a lot of time.
Joining forums are also quite good although make sure you participate in the active conversations going on,otherwise you will get kicked out for spamming.
Now the last thing I would really like to say if you want success, market, market and market!
