There's a chance your E-zine article could also be placed on the publisher's home page, if only temporarily. Quite a lot of editors publish every issue of their E-zine on their home page this gives the article submitter some extra exposure.

Another benefit of e-zine article writing is you could also get extra exposure if the E-zine publisher archives their E-zine on their website. Lot's of people usually want to read some back issues of the E-zine before they make the decision to subscribe to it.

E-zine article writing is in effect free advertising. This allows you to spend your budget on other forms of advertising. You could even buy advertisements in other E-zines that don't happen to publish your articles.

Why not allow E-zine publishers to publish your articles in their free E-books, providing they include your resource box with your name and links in it. People give these E-books away and they can spread like wildfire if the content is good. This means your E-zine article or in other words advertising could be virally spread all over the internet.

Your articles could be published all over the internet when you submit it to an E-zine publisher that has a free article content directory on their web site. They'll allow their visitors to republish your E-zine article as long as resource boxes are left intact. The value this could also bring in back-links to your website is incalculable

Repeat sales are always much easier to make than first time sales.
