Now that I know what an honor it is to be a Platinum member with unlimited submissions, priority publishing, specialized client services, etc., I do not want any aspiring website, blog, or ezine publisher to take their submissions to ezinearticles.com lightly. Please note that I may have experienced some luck, as Chris and I were working at the same exact time. I also have a prolific freelance writing career for over 10 years. Therefore, I do not guarantee similar results. Ultimately, it is your content that will sell.]

Okay, so here it goes: How I Became An EzineArticles.com Platinum Member in One-Hour Flat & How You Can Too.

1. Research where you want to be.

   I looked at other Platinum members and noticed that their articles ranged between 600-800 words. Phew...all of mine where right in that range.

   While you're allowed to submit articles between 200-4000 words, I may push the limits now, but for my first 10--no way.

2. Give credit where it's due.

   In the submission form you're asked who referred you. So, don't leave it blank. My answer was EzineQueen.

3. Read The Editorial Guideline carefully, and edit accordingly.

   Your article's format is like your clothes, it's the first thing Chris will see. Impress him.

   Use white space, and keep your words clean, tight and neat. [ See ]

4. Make your 10 free submission your best articles.

   Quality content means: Originality, timeliness, resourcefulness, inspirational, fun, punchy, snappy, personable, and with your own "Sabra Spunk". Personality counts.

   For example, I sent my timely Vioxx article, original The Meaning of “Ponn" article, resourceful Leads, Referrals & Recommendations article, and inspirational I Don't Believe in Failures. Catch my drift?

      List Building - Using Events To Build Your List With Coregistration
      One of the quickest way to garner new opt-ins is through the organization of an event that will put new subscribers by the hundreds into your list in weeks. The first step to take is to make contact with another marketer and discuss scheduling an event.They will have at least one other person and you will too. That is the great part about events, each new person you invite to help you put it on, becomes another promoter of the event in which you will get new subscribers. These subscribers are going to be very happy to join your list, because after all, they will be downloading or receiving the download link to products for free. After getting a few partners together, tell each one that they will need to include at le

      Local SEO Tips – Don’t Ignore the Gems in Your own Backyard
      If you sell a service or product online you may not want to ignore the potential customers right in your own backyard. There are a number of potential local businesses who may be interested in what you have to offer, and as more and more people are using the internet for local searches you’ll want to make sure your website is optimized to attract these local clients.One way to attract more search engine visitors locally is to use local keywords when optimizing your site. For example, if you offer web design services in Arizona, research keywords and include keywords with your location when optimizing your pages.You should also submit your site for free local search engine listings. There are several local ones t

   9. Find a happy medium.

      In your resource box you get 1-5 lines. I notice some authors with nothing (dum-dums...lost opportunities) and others stuff their 5 sentences (show-offs...who cares!?)

      I picked a happy 3. Here's mine:

      • Who am I?

      Ponn M. Sabra, MPH is the Author of "Empowering Women to Power Network" (with active link)

      • Call to Action. What the reader should do?

      To learn more about her book and sign-up for FREE tips, articles and resources, visit her at http://www.EmpowerWomenNow.com (with active link)

      • Why me? Nothing too flashy or long-winded.

      Ponn is profiled in Marquis' Who's Who of America and Who's Who of American Women.

   10. Submit articles in a specific order.

       I started with the most general "business" and "self-improvement/success" articles. Then, I submitted my niche articles: "business/entrepreneurs", and "women's interest". By the time I submitted #6, all my articles went live and my status changed to Platinum.

       It worked for me. I don't know if Chris noticed, but I sure did. So, give it a try.

       [Interestingly, My Article Report shows that my niche articles are getting the most hits.

       WooHoo...this means people need me and my content ;-) ][Stick to your keywords and phrases.]

   11. Keep your copyrights. List it on the bottom.

       Whenever I see (C) I say, "Hey, this chick is watching her back". Even though there are reprint guidelines for each online article submission portal like ezinearticles.com, putting it directly in your article guarantees that the copyright stays with you--always.

       I can't speak for Chris if this was a consideration or not; but for me, (C) signifies a more professional writer/author.

   12. Maintenance. Now, I have to stay here.

       Here's my plan:

       • Active submissions,

       • Active recommendations to EzineArticles.com and

       • Actively reading his ezine and autoresponders so I apply his fabulous tips.
