Writing and Submitting Articles. Why Is It Importa

Writing and Submitting Articles. Why Is It Important?

by: Gunnar Berglund

The importance of writing and submitting articles is the fact that you won’t get the word out about what you believe in strongly enough to put on paper, unless someone is there to read it. If you write salesletters but you don’t write and submit articles, there is almost no point to it. Of course it’s always nice to read your own writing after you write an article. But wouldn’t it feel better to know that you have touched someone else’s life by writing and submitting articles for other people to read? In all shapes sizes and fashions, people love to read.

Take a look at every magazine, newspaper and website in production today. Writer’s filled those pages with content. The importance of it is that you would be looking at nothing if someone didn’t write and submit articles to the publication. Every single writer contributes to this content or there would be no books, papers, or billboards.

Most of the time, the content that fills these pages are very well written pieces, things people saw potential in so they would write and submit the articles. You can find potential in almost every aspect of genres, so to write and submit articles on a subject you love would not be hard to do. The importance of writing and submitting articles ultimately ends with you and your beliefs. If you don’t believe your written article is good enough for publication, you may find that you don’t feel it is important to write and submit this article. You may feel that your work just isn’t that great. You may not feel the need to re write it, but instead to destroy it. It’s not uncommon that there are tons of articles on a daily basis that are never going to be submitted let alone published.

If we took the time to write and submit at least one article per week, we would be able to contribute our individual point of view to the world. That is probably the most important reason to write and submit articles. You can submit articles online, or you can submit articles on hard copy. It’s up to the writer, and the importance each person puts on their own work will determine it’s potential to be published. You can write and submit an article to a website, or write an article to a magazine. Whichever you prefer, you can’t give up writing articles. Even when you don’t succeed at first, you can find a publication where you’re article will fit.

Think about it. If you don’t credit your own work with any importance, how do you expect anyone else to? It is important to hold yourself to your own high standards, write an article, submit the article, and see what happens. Before you know it you can contribute to the content you see everyday, everywhere. Now that’s important.
