How to Determine the Best Price for an Article Submission Service

Submission services trim hours from your workload and save you the money you'd spend on software that might not work for you. These services submit your articles to directories they have already researched, allowing you to spend more time on your business. Article submission services, unlike software, are guided by a person who will make sure that your work ends up in relevant directories, not spam folders.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Search the Internet for the leading article submission companies, and make a list of your favorites. Contact the services to get a personal feel for how they handle their business.
2. Visit the services online to check the prices of the services they offer. Some will send to a larger list of directories to get your articles to just the right place, but might charge more for their efforts.
3. Once you have chosen your service, they will provide their full price list for your review. If the charges seem a bit steep, talk to the staff members to see if pricing is negotiable.

Tips & Warnings

• Some services might charge more, but they could be offering more for your money. Check to see where the extra charges are going, and remember: The more targeted directories, the better.
• The “best price” is often in the middle range rather than the highest or the lowest bid.
