The following web page has some links which
might be helpful to your clients..

If you have time Linda could you tell me if
you see a need for an ebook or hard copy offline
directory of all the ezines for different
subject areas and the email addresses for
article submission?....or

Are you finding your clients need independent
contractors or online agents to submit their
articles?

Hi Merle!

> wedding ceremonies. Another sells
> aromatherapy products. Yet another sells
> scented candles. And another is a cruise

> Thing is, the vast numbers of people on the
