Without it, readers won t know where to find you. If editors won t agree to do this, don t give them free articles. In the identifier paragraph, you can also tell people that if they go to your web site, they will find a free report or a list of free tips on a topic that ties into your article. With just a few minor changes, articles can be recycled and customized to fit the needs of many different audiences. My favorite resource for finding print newsletters is the Oxbridge Directory of Newsletters, categorized by subject.
Most major libraries have the print version.
Don t expect money in exchange for your articles. Many publications don t pay. Besides, the amount of space you ll be getting for free is worth far more than what you could probably afford if you had bought an ad. If you do public speaking, offer the group a short article summarizing your presentation for their newsletter. You ll get in front of the people you spoke to a second time, and you ll hit those who missed the presentation.
