Believe me. This is what some of the pros have been keeping to themselves. Now that I'm unpacking the gems, you can steal their secrets and take advantage of this opportunity. To date, there are probably more than 500 article directories on the Internet and counting. That's good news. But it's also bad news.
The good news is that you can submit your articles to hundreds of article directories and easily build a lot of backlinks to your website. Your website's visitor counter will spin. Your sales will increase. The bad news is that it can take a few days to submit just one article to these directories. What if you have 10 more articles to submit? Remember, this isn't about submitting to just 10 or 20 directories. It's about submitting to hundreds of directories. By the time you're done submitting your articles, you'd swear you don't want to do article marketing anymore. The enormous amount of time it takes to submit your articles to these numerous directories wears you out. If I were you, I'd give up too. Luckily, for every problem there is a brilliant solution. Quietly, some internet entrepreneurs are developing tools and services that allow you to automatically submit your articles to hundreds of article directories. With a few simple inputs and a click of the mouse, you can submit your articles to hundreds of article directories and thousands of online publishers. You can even do all these article submissions in your sleep. Isn't that nice? Alright, I hear you out loud. Where can I find these tools and services?
