From the Main Screen, click on the Authors and Bio Box button

Click on the Add Author button and fill out the form completely, then save.

You can optionally create a default bio box at this point by clicking on the Bio Box button for your new author. You can also access the bio box window later on in Submissions to add one or more.

Now you can add additional author accounts if you choose to. You'll be able to switch between these at any time during article submissions and/or social site submissions.

[ Back to top ]

Adding Articles

From the Main Screen, click on the Articles button.

To begin adding articles, click on the New button. A new screen will open:

To complete this screen, do the following:

1. Add a Title for your article in the Title space provided
2. You can add a reference code in the space provided if you want to keep track of which niche the article pertains to, or for any other reason.
3. Paste the body of your article in the Text Only area. Do not include a bio box in this area.
4. Add your keywords separated by a comma.
5. Add your tags for the social sites.
6. Click on the Article Summary tab. Add an intro to your article, or insert the first paragraph of your article.
7. Alternately, you can either paste in an article in html code (from a website)by clicking on the"HTML Code Only" tab, or convert your text article to html format by clicking on the "Convert to HTML" button. (NOTE: Most article directories want text only submissions.)
8. There are a few article directories that allow you to submit articles via an autoresponder address. Click the Autoresponder tab and designate the address to your article. This is completely optional, and you can skip this without losing out on any submissions.

When you have your article loaded in as desired, click save to store it in the software. If you need to moderate it later, just highlight it on the Articles screen and click the Modify button.

You can also grab an article from a website by clicking Articles from the Main Screen, then on Article Grabber. This will allow you to take an article from your site and set it up so you can modify it for submission.

The Site Registration and Submission Window

From the Main Screen, click on Submissions

The following is a list of all the components on the Submission screen. Instructions on procedure and order of usage will come at the end:

1. The Submission Sites window
   
   This is where you can see all the sites that will be a part of your current submission process. By default, all sites are present on the list. You can modify this list by selecting favorites, niche favorites, or a specific range of PR sites (see below for details).



2. Select Sites button
   
   By clicking on this drop down menu, you can choose to submit to your desired favorites, to a range of PR sites (selecting this option will open a field to create a range from PR0 to PR10), or to select a niche grouping. (See #13 and #14 on how to create favorites and niche favorites)



3. Select Article button
   
   Clicking on this button will open the Articles window. Select an article you have stored in the software and it will appear in the Selected Article window.
   
   Alternately, you can use a different title for any article once its in the Selected Article window by clicking on the Select Title button. You may select as many titles as you've created or create more at this time.



4. Select Author button
   
   If you have more than one author account loaded into the software, clicking on this button will enable you to switch from one to another.
   
   

   NOTE: Articles, favorites, and site registrations are stored in the software exclusively per author. Switching authors will revert submission screen settings to new author's default.

5. Select Bio Box button
   
   This button will open the selected author's bio box window. You may select one or all the bio boxes, or create new ones here.



6. Default Login button
   
   When you reach a site during submission that hasn't been registered as yet, clicking on this button will load the author's default login details into the login and password fields.



7. Login and Password Fields
   
   This indicates whether or not you've registered to a site prior to the current submission session. Blank fields indicate no registration stored and is accompanied by the site registration form opening in the browser window. Filled fields indicate prior registration accompanied by the site's submission form present in the browser window.
   
   Unfilled fields can be filled by clicking on the Default Login button, or alternately you can opt to create a unique login and password for any site by simply typing in your choice.



8. Send Login Data button
   
   Once you've either clicked the Default Login button (#6), or have entered your desired login and password in the Login fields (#7), clicking on this button will send your login data to the form in the browser.
   
   This button is to be used both for site registration and for login purposes. When using it for registration, clicking the button will completely fill the registration form (US residents will need to enter their State).



9. Save Login Data button
   
   Its recommended that you only click on this button once you've registered to a site and clicked on the verification link in the email they send you. These emails come very fast and time out usually within 5 minutes. So you should register, check your email, click the link they send you, then once verified save the login data in the software by clicking this button.



10. Access Bio Box button
    
    Alternate way to access and select your bio boxes



11. Access Article button
    
    Alternate way to access your articles



12. Access Title button
    
    Alternate way to access your titles



13. Favorites button
    
    Clicking on this button will open a new window with all the sites in it. From here you can select your favorites. Check off all the sites you want to submit to and save.



14. Niches button
    
    A new window will open when you click this button. Click on the Create button and select the sites you want. Save and name the niche grouping.



15. Rotation Check Boxes
    
    If you've attached more than one title or bio box to your selected article, you can check these boxes to rotate your titles and bio boxes during the submission process.



16. Report Defective Site button
    
    Will open an email submission form with all the data about the site you're reporting in it. Just add a note to explain why you feel its defective and send.



17. "Select if Needed" Drop Down
    
    Some directories don't comply with W3C standards and so the submission forms may not fill completely. Use this drop down to fill anything that doesn't fill automatically.



18. Post Article button
    
    Once you have your title, article, and bio box set, click on this button to fill the submission form in the browser window.



19. Save Session button
    
    If for any reason you have to stop a submission session, you can save it with a distinct name so you can come back to it later on. You can save as many different sessions as you'd like.



20. Reg Fill button (Not shown in image above) Usually all forms fill automatically. But if for any reason you reach a registration form that doesn't fill when the page loads, clicking the Reg Fill button will take care of that.

Selecting Favorites and Niche Favorites

Article Submitter Pro 2 allows you to create multiple favorites either for general category sites, or for specific niche sites. You can create an unlimited number favorites and niche favorites for each author you've added to the software as well.

Selecting a Favorite grouping is fairly straight forward. Open the Submission screen by clicking on Submissions from the Main Screen, then:

1. Right Click on the Favorites button to open the Favorites window
   
   
   
   
2. Check off the sites you want included and save.
3. Click on the "My Favorites" radio button to verify your selection. The number of websites will change to the number you've selected.

From now on, when you left click on the Favorites button, only your stored favorites will appear in the site list.

Choosing your Niche Favorites has only one more step, and so is a little different in procedure.

Again, from the Submissions screen:

1. Left Click on the Niches button to open the Niche Selection window.
   
   
   
   
2. Click on the Create button to open the Selection Window.
   
   
   
   
3. Click on each site you want in the grouping and then save when you're finished
4. Give you new Niche Favorite grouping a name so you can identify it, then close.

From now on your Niche Group will be available for the author you created it for. Simply click on the Niches button on the Submissions screen again and select your saved group.

NOTE: You can add and subtract sites from your Favorites and Niche Favorites whenever you want. Just select the Favorite and check or uncheck sites. Save and your new modifications will be set.

Specifics on Site Registration

We've tried to make the site registration process as easy as possible. As a result, all site registration is done directly on the Submissions Screen and can be done during a submission process.

However, if anything is going to go wrong with your article submissions, it'll be the site registrations. So we want to stress the procedure to limit the number of problems you could have.

Email Submissions

If you like sending articles to Yahoo Groups, Google Groups, or to Ezine owners, you can use the Email Submissions to send your articles to all of them with one click.

To do so, click on the Email Submissions button on the Main Screen. This will open a new window:

Note: Article Submitter Pro 2 is highly "author specific." Each author has its own set of groups, so when subscribing to groups or ezines, be mindful of the author you've chosen to work through. Subscribing to groups and ezines for one author will not give you access to the same groups for another author. Each author must subscribe to its own set of groups and ezines.

When you first open the Email Submissions window, you'll notice its completely blank. There are literally thousands of groups you can submit to, many of them niche specific, so the software doesn't contain any preloaded groups or ezines. To begin adding some, click on the Group Access button. This will open a new window:

Click on the Add button:

If you've already subscribed to groups or ezines, you can begin adding in their details here. Place the name of the group or ezine in the first box, their email address they've given you to submit in the second box, and the email address you used to subscribe in the third box. When the form is complete, check off the "subscribed" box, then click save to add the group to your Group Access.

Note: It's highly recommended that you visit Yahoo Groups and Google Groups to find and subscribe to the groups that best suit your needs. Simply go to those sites and search for keywords that pertain to your articles. They'll give you a list of available groups that'll welcome you to participate.

Subscribe to all you wish to, then add them to your Group Access in the software.

Submitting Through Email Submissions

1. From the Email Submissions window, select your author
   
   This will give you access to the groups and ezines, articles and bio boxes for that specific author.



2. Select the Article, Title, and Bio Box you want to send.



3. (Optional) Click the Email Preview button to see how your article will appear in an email.



4. Click Send

The software will begin the process of emailing your article to all the groups and ezines in your grouping with a 3 second pause between emails, and an additional 10 second pause between groups of 25 emails to prevent any server violations.

Change the article and bio box and you can submit other articles during the same session.

Social Site Submissions

Web 2.0 has opened an entirely new means to promote your expertise. It's important to note however, that the Social Networks want stories already present on the Internet rather than new articles submitted raw.

So submitting stories to the social sites is done a bit differently than submitting to the article directories.

To submit to the social sites, click on the Social Site Submissions button from the Main Screen:

Click on the Set Up button and fill the form completely then save:

Close to return to the main Social Site Submission window.

There are currently 56 social sites available, but you can select your favorites by checking off the boxes next to the site names, and then clicking the Save Favorites button. Your favorite sites will appear as checked off in the submission window.

Next you'll want to register to the sites. To do this, click on the Register button. This will open a new window:

The login and password you entered on the Set Up window should be present in the two boxes at the top of this window. Click on the Fill Form button to fill the registration form with all the necessary information. Check it to be sure its correct, then click submit in the form.

Click on the next site in the list to move on to it. Repeat the process until all the sites you want have been registered to.

Submitting to the Social Networks

From the main Social Site Submission window, click on the Submit button. You'll notice immediately how different this window is from the typical article directory submission window.

First, type or paste the url location for the story you want to submit. This can be an article on your own site, or your article already posted on an article directory.

Note: Do not submit your main site's url. To submit an article (story), navigate through your site to the exact page your article is on. Copy the url from the browser window for the specific article and paste it in the Article URL box in the software.

Second, add the article's title.

Third, add a summary or a comment about your story. Make it as enticing as possible to draw attention to your social posting. It's all anyone will see.

Finally, add your tags.

Click on the first site you want to submit to, log in by clicking on the Fill Login button. Once logged in, navigate to the submission form and click on the Post button.

Generally the sites will let you know if your story was accepted, and in some cases you'll be able to navigate to where they've posted it.

Clicking on the next site on the list will repeat the process.

The Toolbox

There are 5 important tools in the Toolbox that you'll want to be aware of:

Delete Session

If you've saved a submission session you no longer want to continue, you can delete it here. Just click on the Delete Session button, select the session you want to delete and click Delete.

File Checking

If you find something isn't working properly in the software, click on the File Checking button to see if that remedies the problem before writing to us for help. Most times this will readjust things so they begin to work correctly again.

Back Up and Restore

Whenever you add anything to your stored data, it's a good idea to use this function. It will create a back up file on your computer, outside of the program files. If for any reason your copy of the software gets wiped out, you can reinstall it and restore your data to the new copy.

Synchronization

You can have two copies of the software running on two different remote computers. If you wish to have the same data on both copies, click on the Synchronization button then do the following:

On the first computer:

1. Click on the Toolbox Button
2. Click on Synchronization
3. Answer Yes to the question

You will get the location and the name of the file for the synchronization, copy this file to an USB stick or email it to the other computer.

On the second computer:

1. Copy the synchronization file from the USB stick, or save it from the email to the folder where Article Submitter Pro is installed
2. Click on the Toolbox Button
3. Click on Synchronization
4. Answer No to the first question
5. Answer Yes to the second question

Submission History

Everything you submit is stored in the software per author. You can see all of your submissions and/or get a printable copy here.

Select an author and click Search to get a full read out, or enter a Date From and Date To to get view of what was submitted at a particular time frame.

You can select a specific article to get a submission history for just one article. Leaving this option blank will bring up all articles submitted by the author.
