Submit Your Articles Directly from WordPress

Image via Wikipedia

Over the years, we’ve recommended that one of the best ways to increase your article count was torepurpose your existing content, like blog posts and other materials, into articles. Trouble is, there’s never been an easy way to do that … until now.

The EzineArticles WordPress Plugin* will provide the ability to simultaneously publish new posts to the web and submit them as articles to EzineArticles.com. Not only that, it allows any existing posts to be selectively submitted as articles without ever leaving WordPress.

Another great feature of this plugin is the useful ability to monitor the review status of newly submitted articles right from the WordPress administrative interface.

We’re looking for intermediate and advanced WordPress webmasters to give this plugin a try and tell us how we can improve it.

Accessing the EzineArticles WordPress Plugin

1. Log in to your EzineArticles member interface.
2. Hover over the “Author Tools” drop-down menu and click on “WordPress Plugin”.
3. Follow the step-by-step instructions for installing and activating the plugin.

Once you’ve installed and activated the plugin, all you’ll need to do is click on the “Publish Post on EzineArticles” checkbox and then click “Publish” or “Update” to simultaneously publish your post AND submit it as an article to EzineArticles.com.

So if you’re an experienced WordPress user, go download, install and activate the plugin right now. Then take it for a test drive to see how it works. If you have any questions, stop back and leave a comment and we’ll try to help.
