After almost three years in the making, Article Submitter Pro 2 has finally been released to the general public. What started out to be a simple upgrade, has taken on a life of its own, and has become a full blown rebuild from the ground up. Now, Article Submitter Pro is, by far, the most powerful semi-automated article submission tool on the planet.
It started with a simple question to the more than 1,500 users of the original Article Submitter Pro . . .
"What would you like to see added and/or changed in the software to improve your article submission experience?"
We expected a few of the suggestions, like having multiple favorites, and niche specific favorites because people have been requesting those all along. But the other responses we got were overwhelming to say the least! We received all kinds of ideas to make the software better, faster, and more flexible. It really showed us how serious our clients were about using the software, and how strongly they felt about it.
And you know what? Most of these suggestions are now part of Article Submitter Pro 2 !
For example, some people wanted to be able to have separate logins and passwords for each of their authors. We thought it a strange request at first, because registering to the sites has got to be the most tedious part of article submitting.
But then we realized what this could mean. Being able to have separate logins and passwords for each author would allow our users to create their own Article Submission Service using Article Submitter Pro, and capitalize on the power of the software to make a decent living submitting articles for other people.
Couple that with another suggestion, having a printable submission history, would let those utilizing the software in this way, to send their customers detailed reports on a daily or weekly basis of all the articles submitted and where they went.
We thought that was pretty cool indeed!
Another idea we received from our users was to allow multiple article submissions to each site. This one got us a little nervous because we didn't want people using Article Submitter Pro to spam the article directories. But at the same time, many users like to prepare several articles in advance and then submit them all at once. So we acquiesced, and now users can submit as many articles to the same directory as the site will allow.
Those are just a few of the suggestion made by our users. If we listed them all, this post would never get finished. Needless to say, most suggestions were included in the rebuild.
Now we also had our own ideas to make Article Submitter Pro better and more powerful . . .
The biggest was to include a way to submit to social networks. So now Article Submitter Pro 2 has a built in Social Site Submitter with more than 50 of the most popular social sites in it.
Another idea was to make the site registration process easier to manage. This meant we had to move it from being a separate module directly into the flow of the submission process. We coupled this with one of the many suggestions we received and added a Default Login button, so the user could simply click a button and have their desired login, password, and registration details readily available to use in the site registrations.
Of course as was always the case, when a site is registered to, the software stores that information for use the next time. However now, if a site hasn't yet been registered to, the registration page comes up in the window instead of the submission form. Then once the directory is registered to, clicking on the site will bring up the login form. This all makes it possible to now register to a site and then immediately submit to it in one single motion.
We've also extended the time limit on the demo version of Article Submitter Pro 2 . People who wish to test drive it now have a full 7 days rather than the 3 day limit of the previous version.
And we've added Live Help and a way to report defective sites.
So these are just a few of the many changes in Article Submitter Pro. We'll be posting more advantages in coming posts. And, if you have any questions about the software, feel free to comment here or write to us.
