How to Find and Use Submission Sites

Figure out your goal and find submission sites that have similar goals.
There are submission sites for almost every topic. For example, there are season sites, ones for recipes, ones for crafts, etc.
To find a submission site to use, go to Prime Publishing’s website, scroll down, and look through their list of sites.
Another way to find submission sites is to pay attention to what other influencers in your niche are doing. They might post about being featured on some submission sites.
Focus on submission sites that are quick and easy to submit to for building traffic.
All you need to do to submit is write a brief description of the content you are submitting using keywords, add an image, and provide a link to your site.

“The website is like a Pintrest.” -Susan Santoro

Why Should You Use Submission Sites?

Submission sites help generate a lot of long-term traffic to your site.
These sites do their own round-ups with your content.
Using these sites can get your content viewed by an audience you might otherwise miss.
Submission sites are good at marketing your content to their audience.
Also, sometimes they feature content creators which can immediately boost your traffic.
Using submission sites is great because they do all the hard work for you.

“There are so many opportunities here that I have never seen on other platforms.” -Susan Santoro

Quick Tips to Make Submission Sites Work For You

Make them part of your routine. Every time you make a new post, also submit it to submission sites.
Also, go back to your older posts and submit them to submission sites as well.
Consider what content each submission site is asking for, but don’t let that prevent you from submitting content. For example, if a holiday site is asking for Valentine’s Day content you can still submit Halloween content.
Familiarize yourself with each site.
If your goal is to drive traffic, try to add only what the sites require. Keep it simple.
Create a platform to track your submissions.

Setting up a structure to keep track of submissions can prevent you from missing some submission sites your content applies to.
