You work hard as an affiliate marketer and have an advertising and promotion budget you need to adhere to each month. Successful Internet marketers know where every penny is going and what return they are receiving. It's no different with your article marketing efforts. You need to shop around for an article distribution service that gives you the best value for your money.



We will look at a few of the major article distribution services here and their pricing. We will look at number of articles each allows you to submit and for what length of time-period. This way you can decide for yourself which ones offer you the best price and the potential for the widest distribution.

The Phantom Writers rate is on a per article submission basis. They charge $35.00 for one or two article submissions. They charge $27.50 for three or more article submissions up to and including your ninth one. Therefore, if you choose to submit nine articles it will cost you $247.50. The better rate kicks in when you choose to submit ten or more of your articles to them. Their fee is $20.00 per article if you submit ten or more of your pieces.

SubmitYourArticle.com puts a cap on the number of articles you can submit. They charge $111.00 quarterly. This allows you to submit four articles per month for three months as part of your article promotions campaign. Therefore you can submit a maximum of twelve articles in any given quarter for that fee. This works out to $9.25 per article submission. If you choose this article distribution service you have to make sure you get twelve articles in to get optimum value for your efforts. Anything less and your per article fee is higher.

The iSnare article distribution service charges a quarterly fee of $179.85 for three months. However, they allow unlimited article submissions during this period. You can submit one, ten, one hundred, or more articles for their stipulated fee. It's all up to you and how much time you have for article writing. This particular distribution service also has a platinum rate. Their rate for a platinum membership is $59.95 per month. This allows you to submit as many articles as you like.

Ezine Trendz is another article distribution service who has a set quarterly rate. They allow you to submit four articles per month for three months. Their rate is $240.00 for this package. Again, they are an example of a service that caps the number of articles you can submit, just as SubmitYourArticle does.

Article Marketer is similar to iSnare in the sense that they allow unlimited submissions in a quarter. Their rate is lower than iSnare's. They charge $99.99 for unlimited article submissions over three months. Like iSnare, they encourage you to get your fingers typing, as they have no stipulations on numbers of articles you can submit. The more article writing you engage in during a quarter the lower the per article fee becomes. It's interesting that Article Marketers quarterly rate, divided by three, works out to be less than iSnare's monthly platinum membership rate.

When checking out article distribution services check their monthly, quarterly, yearly, and lifetime membership plans. Many offer different plans and we mainly looked at the common quarterly plan here. If you're in the mood to write to your heart's content in a quarter then the unlimited submission options are certainly attractive. You have to decide how much you can write in a given period.

Be a prudent and efficient affiliate marketer by shopping around when it comes to article distribution services. Every penny you do not need to spend on your article promotion campaign is money for another marketing initiative. Article marketing is a great affiliate-marketing tool. Just make sure you're not overpaying to get widespread distribution of your articles.
