FAQ #31: When Do You Submit Articles?Question: I submitted an article to you Friday evening. When can I expect that article to be distributed?Answer: Experience has taught me to only distribute articles between Sunday night and late Friday morning. The truth is that articles distributed on the weekend get published far less than articles distributed during the week. Acknowledging this fact, we deliberately do not submit articles over the weekend. Additionally, let's face it. The spammers are out in masses on the weekends. We do not want to have our articles lost in the mass deletes that people have to do on Monday's, so that they can get back to business. Surprisingly, most online publishers do not work on the weekends. In fact, the vast majority of traffic through the TPW archives will be seen Monday through Friday. In order to enhance the likelihood of your articles being published, we try to be the first email in someone's email box each morning. We occasionally do afternoon submissions also. Over the last few months, I have restricted submissions to Monday afternoon through late Thursday night. I killed the Sunday night submissions as a result of the weekend spammers. The rate of article publication has gone up since I made this move. If you need an article to go out in a specific calendar week, you should make sure that the article is in my mailbox by Wednesday evening. This helps me to balance my schedule so that I can get all of my submissions done in a timely manner. My schedule will free up considerably in April, as I have made the decision to leave my day job effective March 31st, 2005. This will allow me to do more afternoon submissions, and to do Friday morning submissions as well. Bill Platt - Owner thePhantomWriters.com |
