article submission services - anyone?

[Guest]

Hi Gang-

... finally throwing my hat into the blog game, but quickly realized my blogs were more like articles (including length, video, graphics, etc.) Was curious if anyone has suggestions on using (or not) article submission services? I have to laugh, because after a quick google search more than half of the supposed "expert" submission services have numerous typos, spelling errors, etc. right on their home pages! - hardly the places I'll trust my content to be displayed and promoted with - let alone pay for. My content is vertical, targeted content, and heck, I haven't even configured my RSS feed yet! Like many of us who wear all of the company hats, I'm trying to get it right the first time, minimize my blunders and learn from other people's mistakes.

Nonetheless, any feedback you folks could offer me (high level or granular details) would be greatly appreciated. I certainly don't want to end up on any banned or black-lists as I'm just getting started!

Many thanks,

Rich

and why is having your blog entries resemble articles a bad thing?
it's all about good, useful content, not what it looks like.

I agree! I guess I was thinking relatively to other blogs that I've seen out there, where some bloggers will literally post just a few sentences per blog entry; mine are much longer, part of a series, etc.

Have you had any luck in finding a posting or distribution service for your blogs? I will also have lots of video in this content, so I was thinking about cross-posting to the youtubes of the world, but wasn't sure if that was necessarily a good thing or if, for some reason it was frowned upon. I've read about tools/services that exist that will also help me cross post to some of the social networking sites out there but have yet to discover any that appear professional or that don't sound like scams.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply,

Rich
