If you're a novice at the article writing and article-marketing game then you are probably looking for training to improve your efforts. There are many different article distribution services ready to accept your article submissions. However, do they all provide that additional writers' training you may desire?

When you investigate article distribution services look at all they have to offer. Sure, you want a service that offers widespread distribution of your articles. That's important, but so are those writers' training services that some provide. Those training programs help you write better, and faster, so you get more of your articles into circulation. When looking at services, check to ensure their writers' training services are current. Check to see if they offer any new software programs, or other resources to help your article writing efforts.

We'll consider a few article distribution services advertising their services to see if they offer writer training. A look at iSnare's site shows that you have to sign-up as a member to get more information. They do show that if you sign up for their platinum membership that your receive extra benefits. These include more exposure for your articles under a platinum membership. They will also include a full-page biography about you as a writer. However, their service seems geared to promoting your articles, not helping you write those articles. They do not trumpet an article-writing training program on their site.

The same goes with the Phantom Writers article distribution service. They offer an extensive article distribution service but do not promote an in-house training program for writers. They do have a recommended resources section where they offer information. Investigating that link, you will find an article-marketing book you can purchase. You will also find a link to a home-study writing course you can purchase.

SubmitYourArticle does offer a resource to help novice writers learn about article writing and marketing. They provide an extensive help library to those who sign up for their service. This resource library contains tips and useful information on writing articles and getting them published. For any writer these resource articles are valuable when wanting to upgrade article writing and article marketing skills.

Article Marketer offers a broad range of resources for article writers. They offer their Article Marketer University, which is full of useful training items one can access. These include podcasts, audio on demand, and e-books available for download. The great thing is they provide all of these resources free of charge.

An example from their site of audio on demand is a sixty-minute audio on doubling your writing speed. An example of one of their downloadable e-books is "Article Marketing with Blogs and RSS". These are just two examples of the plethora of resources available to writers on the Article Marketer site. In addition, Article Marketer offers their users a Best Practices Guide to Article Marketing.
