I have heard the story before, but always great to read it again.

You are just as lovely on the outside as you are on the inside, RCR!

eZine articles usually come up in most of my google searches for all kinds of stuff.

Here's a link to the submission page FWIW    :http://ezinearticles.com/editorial-guidelines.html

I have 10 or 11 articles up at ezine. They are versions of articles from my website. But I don't get a lot from them and am now trying to expand to credible sources too--those where a person must submit and be accepted rather than a place where anyone can be a self-proclaimed expert. Though last month did show a big spike in my ezine hits and click throughs to my site.

Ezine articles also does not allow for sources. They won't allow my infidelity article with the peer-reviewed source data to be published. They also fought me on my name--I don't use RCR but I do use my initials, K-R and they argued about it and won't allow the hyphen. They said I needed to show them a dirver's license to prove my name is K-R... it's not, but initials are common for authors. I use my initials to keep my nonfiction self-help separate from what I use as a children's writer.

So I need to participate in communities/blogs that allow me to include my web info in my post or signature and start submitting to magazines--electronic and paper.

The submission at Huffington was the participate in a community sort and I have a longer version of that for submitting to publications. Actually I have two versions.

When I started my blog for my homestead "mini-farm" I got TONS of hits off of Twitter. It's such a quick, simple thing and I got dozens of hits the first two days, which is big for that subject.

Dear RCR, first of all thank you for creating this site! It’s a great place, full of invaluable resources and great people who are helping me immensely to deal with h’s mlc without going mad!

I find your articles illuminating and I gather they’re going to be published in a book. I would be very much interested in translating your book in my language. I don’t know if that’s possible or if you’re interested, but I feel very lucky to understand English because it gave me the chance to find you, so it would be great to help other people in my country who haven’t got a clue about what they’re dealing with!
Hugs

Very well written article -- concise, but still gets it all in there.  When I read that I feel stronger again, it really hits home.  Well done.

Hello Rollercoasterider,
In just the two weeks that i have been on this site, i have gained a considerable amount of information and confidence in standing for my marriage moreso than from any other site.  I am a member of another site with a chat who have recommended this site to me and iam eternally grateful for it.

I work for an International Book Festival and would be happy to help you in anyway I can.  I am also a freelance writer and have been published in national magazines, on other topics.  If there is anyway I can help you and most importantly help oothers in this same situation I would be more than happy to. Please do not hesitate to call me to see where I can be of help to you.
Best regards and Thank you!
