Q: I'm just beginning to learn about how to write and market articles.
I'm worried that if I submit my articles now and then learn more I won't be able to change anything.
Can I edit an article after it is submitted to the directories? A: I would rather have my less than perfect article out there working for me than a bunch of not quite perfect articles sitting in my computer.
So go ahead and submit your articles, because you can edit them once you have submitted them.
Now, having said that, here are 2 things to remember - Thing 1 - This is not something you want to do 'too much" as it would be abusing the privilege.
Thing 2 - While you can edit your articles that are on article directories, once they are picked up and used elsewhere, that's it, you cannot edit them on someone else's site.
Also check out the suggestions below for editing your articles.
You can go back and edit your resource boxes in your articles - most article directories, including EzineArticles.
com, have this feature.
It can be time consuming, but it is so worth it to drive more traffic to you web sites and build your list.
My suggestion is you do them one at a time and not all at once.
The reason for this is that when you edit an article on EzineArticles.
com, it comes "off the internet" until they review the edit and approve the article again.
During this time your article is not "live" and is therefore not out there on the internet working for you.
So I recommend that you do not do this late on Friday or late in the day because it may take longer to get the article re-reviewed.
When I want to edit an article, especially one that is doing well for me, I will do it late at nite, early the next day, or during the middle of the day.
I have found this to be the best time to get it re-approved in the shortest amount of time.
