As you may know, article submission is very popular. I submit articles pretty regularly myself, using an old version of Ezine Announcer I have on hand (the current version does not support article submission). However, even using tools it takes a long time to go through and submit articles.

Another tool I used was a freebie that submits only to Article Dashboard sites. This tool was a bit better, since all it left for me to do was click a few places and it handled the rest, including the login. Faster, but due to the number of sites, it still took a very long time to get done.

Now, I don’t know why I didn’t check this out sooner, but one of the sites I often submit to is iSnare. Well, I finally took a look at their article distribution service, and if it’s half as good as it looks, I’m not going to do this myself ever again!

Why? Because my time is worth much more than $2 an hour, and it only costs about $2 to submit an article using iSnare’s service. Even using submission tools it would often take me more than an hour to go through all the article sites I know of.

Now, obviously this is a recurring cost, while article submission software only costs once. But one important lesson to learn in business is when to let someone else do the work. Can I earn more than $2 by letting them do the work? You bet! We won’t even talk about how much frustration it saves.

They say it takes a few days for approval of each article before distribution, so I won’t know right away how things go, but I look forward to seeing the results.
