2. Writing Markets:

Market Listings below are from "1500 Paying Markets For Your Articles, Short Stories & Poetry".

http://www.skyword.com/edit.html Each month America West publishes one main feature story, and several departments. Throughout, the emphasis is on first-rate reporting and compelling story-telling. We don't publish traditional travel stories, business or celebrity profiles or service pieces. Our stories celebrate a sense of place and reflect the airline's destinations, but not at the cost of great narrative writing. People who write for America West are not only superior journalists, but skilled entertainers. America West is a magazine for people who like to read. America West buys first North American print rights and pays on acceptance. Rates range from 60 cents to $1.00 per word, depending on degree of difficulty and amount of research. If, after one rewrite as directed by the editor, the work is not suitable for publication, the kill fee is 25%.

http://www.pohlypartners.com/work_for_us/continental.html Thank you for your interest in Continental, the inflight magazine for Continental Airlines. The magazine reflects its dynamic readership, whose lives are defined to a great extent by three things: business, travel, and success. It offers a mix of quick-hit articles and full-length feature stories, and in doing so provides a little something for everyone. The magazine serves up interesting and inspiring business stories from some of the world’s leading companies, engaging and entertaining looks at destinations around the world, and insights into finance, education, and style. Articles vary in length from 300 words to 1,500 words. Fees vary based on difficulty of assignment and experience of the writer with our publication. We pay 45 days from acceptance of the story.

http://www.writefromhome.com/submissionsinfo.htm The focus of this site is to help writers manage kids and clips under one roof. I am particularly interested in problem-solving articles and essays. The tone may be serious or humorous. Preferred length for feature articles or reprints is between 500 - 1,500 words. The length is not a strict rule. I'm interested in a well-written piece versus word count. Pays upon acceptance; $25 for original, unpublished articles. $10 for reprints.

http://www.scrap.org/contact_us.htm#Scrap%20Writer’s%20Guidelines Though Scrap is predominantly staff-written, the magazine does hire freelance writers. Most assignments are multisource features that focus on topics of interest and importance to scrap recyclers, such as new scrap processing and handling equipment, environmental regulations and legislation, market trends, management and operational techniques, and more. Scrap pays $600-$1,000 depending on the length and difficulty of the assignment. Payment upon acceptance. Byline given.

http://www.popularwoodworking.com/staff/guid.html Popular Woodworking is published seven times a year. This magazine invites woodworkers of all levels into a community of experts who share their hard-won shop experience through in-depth projects and technique articles, which helps the readers hone their existing skills and develop new ones. Related stories increase the readers’ understanding and enjoyment of their craft. Any project submitted must be aesthetically pleasing, of sound construction and offer a challenge to readers. Word length ranges from 1,200 to 2,500. Payment for features starts at $150 per published page, depending on the total package submitted, including its quality, and the writer’s level of woodworking and writing experience.

3: Writing/Marketing Article:

Top Ten Reasons to Write Articles to Publicize your Business (Part 1) Judy Cullins © 2004 All Rights Reserved If you have spent time and money down the drain waiting for "word of mouth" to kick in, or multiple hours on networking meetings, you may want to investigate this number one way to publicize your service. Beginners welcome. And, once you learn the skills, you can delegate it all to your office assistant. Here's the Top Ten Reasons: 1. It's totally free. Once you subscribe to 5-10 opt-in ezines such as aabusiness-subscribe@yahoogroups.com, aainet-subscribe@egroups.com, or free-content-subscribe@yahoogroups.com, you can start submitting your professionally edited articles that relate to your service or products. For a list of many more ePublishers in all categories, check out the "How to Market your Business Online" eBook. You will get many emails from other authors too, so make your articles' email a separate one from your business account. This number one free publicity will bring many targeted visitors to your site where you present a link to information about your coaching services. 2. You can reach from 10,000 to 500,000 of your targeted audience each day that you submit an article. These people subscribe to the opt-in ezines and surf the top sites in their fields to get free information. When your articles get published, you will be at the top of well-known online small business people who provide a great service. Remember Bill Gates prediction: After 2000, you either take your business Online, or you won't have one. 3. You will spend far less time promoting Online than more traditional ways. When you spend your time each week writing a short article from 300-800 words (about an hour for each), you can then delegate the submissions to your low-cost office computer assistant. Total time promoting? Less than six hours a week. This is the best money I spend because after the initial submissions, my assistant's time to submit to ezines is less than 10 minutes per time. And that's to 60 plus opt-in ezines. Submitting to Web sites takes more time, maybe 10-15 minutes for each site. We have a list of 20 plus top Web sites who want my particular information. We submit two articles at a time to save time, and many sites carry up to 100 of my articles. The more, the merrier, because these not only put you in the Top Ten sites through the search engines, but bring you many new potential clients. 4. Submitting articles is 7 times as effective as any other promotion because when you submit many articles, you become known as an expert. You may start with just two or three, but each week after creating a new one with a different angle or audience, this outstanding viral marketing technique will bring many new opportunities because many of the people who read them will contact you to publish on their site. See how the good word spreads? Submitting articles is part of the "Big Three Marketing Machine." A special report that illustrates how you can succeed far more than you dreamed of by coordinating your sales-driven Web site, your articles, and your service and products. 5. You can raise your own ezine subscribers from 10-25 every time you submit an article to multiple opt-in ezines. If you submit four or five articles a month to 15 ezines, each with about 1000 subscribers, you will reach 60,000 readers. The beauty of this benefit is that your ezine and articles work as a team, both catapulting your eventual sales successes. When you put your free offer for your ezine in your signature file that accompanies each article you send out, online lookers become online buyers eventually. After reading six or seven of your ezines, your targeted audience who came to you through these articles, trusts you more, believes in you, and finally becomes a client or customer. This list could go on, because as one person sees your articles, they make offers you can't refuse. Writing and submitting articles is the friendliest way I know of promoting Online. When you are ready, give it a chance. Part two of this article is available at www.bookcoaching.com/freearticles/article-120.shtml =============
