1. You'll expose your web site,or yourself by submitting articles to e-zines. You could include your name, business name, your credentials, web site address and e-mail address in your resource box.
2. You will become known as an expert on the topics you write about. This will give you credibility which will help you gain trust from your customers.
3. You might get extra exposure if the e-zine publisher archives their e-zine on their site. People might want to read the back issues before they make the decision to subscribe.
4. You will get free advertising. This will allow you to spend your profits on other forms of advertising. You could buy advertisements in other e-zines that don't publish your articles.
5. You could allow e-zine publishers to publish your articles in their free e-books. This has been a great source of income for me this year.
6. You'll gain people's trust. If they read your article and like it, they won't be as hesitant to buy your product or service. You will then be able to increase your profits.
7. You could get your article guaranteed to run in another publishers ezine. You could agree to run one of their articles in your e-zine if, in exchange, they run yours in their e-zine.
The bottom line is submitting articles are extremely powerful. Personally, article writing is the best free form of advertising on the internet today.
