Good
Stuff!!
The Software
The
software program is very easy to use.
What I like most about it is that it is customizable - you can
easily add ezine publishers or directories to your lists, remove
them, file comments for later, etc.
The
software allows you to either paste in your article collection,
or create articles right within the program. Each screen is
self-explanatory and gives you directions for each field. It
will allow you to format your articles with hard breaks,
selecting the characters per line - and will
even give you a word count as you're writing.
You
absolutely cannot go wrong with this process!
When
submitting your articles to ezine publishers, it allows you
to select ezines by category so that you can target your audience
precisely. No "blasting" or worries about sending
material to publishers that have no interest in your topic.

YES, YOU CAN DO ALL OF THIS WITHOUT THE
SOFTWARE...
In fact, most of us have been submitting articles for years.
It's no secret that this is a very powerful marketing
strategy. That said, the process has always been
quite lengthy and frustrating - and most webmasters would rather
spend their valuable time doing something else altogether.
Several
months ago I gave in and hired someone to submit articles for
me. I simply didnt have time to mess with it as I was busy launching
new sites, writing the articles and working out deals. I paid
him $7 an hour to hand-submit my articles... with 3 articles
in hand to start, and directions to search for directories,
submission lists and any site that accepted related content.
I
knew what he'd run into... which is the very reason I hired
it out. Some forms didnt work, some sites were no longer accepting
articles, many sites required registration and even email confirmation...
It's a very long and tedious process. I'm sure he was glad I
paid him by the hour instead of the successful submission (LOL).
Two
full days and $112 in labor later... I had a handful of successful
article submissions. 15-20 if I remember correctly, and most
of those on pages in directories with low or no PageRank. I
finally put him on another task and made a note to pick up on
it later. Which, to this day, I havent found (or made) the time
to do.
Imagine
how much easier it will be now: With ArticleAnnouncer I can
easily input the articles and make my selections... and let
the program do all of the work! Once I get my options set within
the program, I could easily outsource article submissions again
- allowing my assistant to use the new automated software. He
could accomplish 100x the results... for a tenth of the pay
:-)
Jason
recommends that we sit down at least once a week to promote
our articles and get them out there in front of ezine publishers
and webmasters that have the potential to send us a lot of very
warm and targeted visitors. There's no doubt that this
would skyrocket your traffic and sales!
Doing
this without ArticleAnnouncer is going to make the task fall
at the very bottom of your list of priorities (ie: you may never
actually get it done!). Doing it with ArticleAnnouncer is going
to make it EASY on you - which means you're much more likely
to actually do it... and reap all of those profitable rewards!
Content
Exchanges really are an important key to making your
website(s) successful. Whether you are posting helpful
responses on high-traffic discussion forums, getting your articles
published on high-ranking websites, or partnering up with other
webmasters to bring unique related content to your visitors...
there really is no better way to establish your credibility,
and to get your name and website in front of your target market!

I'm VERY happy with this package - cover to cover and am looking
forward to getting my articles out there... and enjoying the
RESULTS!
Remember, you can read an excellent article on the topic by
Jason Potash himself (lots of great info & resources!) at

At
the very least, grab yourself a copy of the Free
Report by Jason, and read through that article
