Hi Merle!

Long time! I haven't talked to you for ages. Hope life is being good to you.

Subject? You name it. Being a site developer, my clients are in every trade under the sun. One sells porcelain collector dolls. Another sells fantastic jewelry including the neat spider pin that Ally McBeal was seen wearing. (Lordy, I think it was Ally that wore it...) Another is a minister who performs beautiful, unique wedding ceremonies. Another sells aromatherapy products. Yet another sells scented candles. And another is a cruise agent. Another sells Hawaiian coffee. I have so many clients, I'd lose track trying to list what they all "do" and sell.

And... I do know that there are ezines and publications out there for every category under the sun. I know that my clients are professionals, many of them with brick and mortar businesses to go along with their website. I know that contributing articles to relevant publications is a good form of exposure.

But... I also know that a lot of article distribution services seem to think that "marketing articles" is the only kind of article there is. Some go so far as to include "website design" articles or other articles with a definite marketing angle.

Thing is, the vast numbers of people on the net don't *ALL* want to read marketing articles. We humans have so many other interests... and there are publications geared to those interests.

Finding someone that knows about other publications (besides marketing ones) and distributing articles to them seems to be a daunting task at best.

I hope that helps explain what I'm looking for just a little better. : )

Thanks, Merle!

Cheers!
Linda
