Article Submission is the process of writing then posting articles to multiple online article directories.
The methods typically used to
accomplish article submission are manual or automated.
Manual submission simply requires an article author to visit online article directories, register for an author account, then adding, or submitting articles on an
individual basis.
Manual submission is usually free however, some directories require paid membership.
Automated submission requires the use of either
1) specifically designed software to complete the submission process, or
2) join a paid online article
distribution service.
An automated process certainly eliminates the tedious task of manual submissions and is therefore, the most time-efficient method.
