The Top 11 Free Article Submission Sites For New Writers

Free Article Submission Sites

For new writers, free article submission sites are a terrific resource to help you publish your writing .

But another benefit is that writing and submitting your articles can also help you improve the off-page SEO of your new blog.

It’s challenging to find readers online, so it takes a bit of effort. Every new writer starts from scratch , but many find ways to succeed.

Publishing articles is one of the best ways to help you improve your writing, find readers and promote your blog.

In This Article

What are free article submission sites?

These are sites where you can publish your articles for free and often with instant approval.

You can use them to publish articles to promote your brand, business, informational topics, or your area of expertise.

The biggest benefit for many content writers and bloggers is that you can include links in your articles.

For a new writer, understanding how links work is important.

There are two styles of links: dofollow and nofollow.

A dofollow link is of higher value because it can pass on some authority to your blog.

But a nofollow link still has some SEO value.

If you are using a free blogging platform, these links will help you a lot.

Experienced article writers look for free article submission sites that have a high Alexa domain ranking and allow dofollow links.

But if you only want to publish articles and don’t have a blog to promote, there is no need to worry about the SEO value of links.

No shortcuts to quality article writing

A great article incorporates all the features you need when you write a blog post .

You need to research your keywords and read some competitive articles to understand what you need to cover in your text.

As for your article title, you need to craft it to attract a reader’s attention.

You should also use paragraph headings to make your points clear.

Selecting relevant images, graphs, and screenshots can also add more value to an article.

Writing a quality article takes time. But it’s worth it because it will be online for a long time.

Can you publish an article on more than one site?

Yes, it’s possible. But it’s not a good idea.

When you publish the same article on different sites, it will diminish its value. Google will not know which one is the authoritative article, so it will stand little chance of being indexed.

A better idea is to use links between your articles. If you write about fruit in one article, add a dofollow link to your other article about vegetables.

It’s the same as how a blogger uses internal links between blog posts.

When you have published ten or twenty articles, your links between them will help you get more readers.

The links will also assist in possibly getting your articles indexed by search engines.

How to select sites for article submission

One of the best criteria you can use is to do a quick check of a site’s Alexa ranking.

The lower the number, the more popular it is.

To do a check, go to Statshow , and enter a site’s URL.

Here is the result for Google.

statshow

If a site ranks in the top 100,000 sites in the world, it means that it has a high Alexa page rank.

Other factors you might want to consider are how easy it is to use, how suitable it is for your type of article content , and how many dofollow links you can use.

There are hundreds of submission sites, so you should choose carefully and make sure each one is right for you.

But to help you along, here are the top ten for you to consider.

1. Google Sites

Google Sites

If you make a selection by page ranking, then Google Sites has to be your first choice because anything Google ranks at number one.

On top of that, you can choose from a range of ready-made templates to help your content shine.

It’s one of the most popular sites for content and article writers.

2. Articlebiz

ArticleBiz logo

ArticleBiz gives you the opportunity for your articles to be picked up by online publishers.

You can submit your articles for free.

But you will need to fill in a resource box with a short bio. You can include your email and website address.

You can choose from a vast range of categories for your articles.

It has an Alexa ranking of 210,908. So it certainly does get traffic and readers.

If you are new to article writing, it is a great submission site.

3. Articleavenue

Articleavenue logo

Are you writing articles about lifestyle, travel, marketing, or crowdfunding?

If so, Articleavenue is worth investigating.

The site is well-designed and user-friendly, with a clean masonry layout.

You will need an eye-catching image to make your article stand out.

Take a look and see if it’s a fit for you.

tumblr logo blue

You might think that Tumblr is only a hobby blogging platform.

But, in fact, it is a terrific site for promoting your articles because you can use as many links as you think you need.

All you need to do is set up your free account, and you can write and publish or reblog as many articles as you want.

5. LiveJournal

live journal logo

It’s been around for a long time, but article writers often overlook LiveJournal .

However, with an Alexa rank of 426, it proves that it certainly gets a ton of traffic and lots of readers.

That makes it a site that you should definitely consider.

6. Linkedin

Linkedin-Logo

My guess is that you already have an account with Linkedin. That makes it easy for you to publish your articles.

All you need to do is follow the instructions for publishing Linkedin articles , and you are ready to submit.

There are millions of daily users on Linkedin, so you have an excellent opportunity to find readers for your professional articles.

Linkedin must be one of the easiest ways to publish your articles for free.

DZone Logo

If you are into writing about software and technology, Dzone is a site you might want to investigate.

It is high-ranking and very popular. But you need to read the submission guidelines carefully before you submit an article.

Also, expect to wait between seven to twelve business days for an assessment and approval of your article.

Quora Logo

You might be wondering why I have included Quora in my list of free article submission sites.

It’s an open forum, so why is it here?

Well, it has enormous benefits when it comes to promoting your articles.

All you need to do is search for questions people ask about your topics of expertise or interest.

Then answer the question as fully as you can. An answer of around 200 words is usually sufficient.

But the significant advantage is that you can include a link back to your published article on the topic.

If you answer perhaps five questions on a topic, you will gain five backlinks.

9. Sooper Articles

Sooper Articles

It might not look as attractive as some other sites, but Sooper Articles has an Alexa ranking of 20,850.

That means it gets a lot of traffic. You can choose from a whole host of topics, so you will almost certainly find a niche for your articles.

It’s a free service for all writers. But in the FAQs, it says that a new article takes around five days to be approved and published.

10. Bored Panda

Bored Panda

If you are looking to submit lightweight or funny articles, Bored Panda could be a choice for you.

It started in 2009, so it’s been around for a while now. Its style is a little like a tabloid newspaper, so your writing probably needs to be a bit clever.

But there are a lot of categories to choose from, such as fashion, food, nature, and social issues, so it’s not only about being witty.

11. ArticleCube

ArticleCube

If you are writing articles about business, food, health, home, or technology, ArticleCube might be for you.

The site is attractive, with a modern news feel and layout.

A great aspect is that all articles have a featured image.

You need to register, and it’s a good idea to read the submission guidelines before you get started.

Ezine Articles

ezine articles

For more than twenty years, EzineArticles has been a go-to site for free article submissions.

However, it has now closed down and no longer appears in search engines.

But if you arrived on this page looking for it, at least the list above gives you plenty of alternatives.

It can be a bit daunting for new writers when there are so many free article submission sites to choose from if you do a Google search.

But as always, it’s about the quality of the sites you choose.

While some might seem quick and easy to submit, a low-ranking site may not get you many readers.

On the other hand, a top-ranking site might take longer to approve your articles.

It’s a balance you need to find.

With the ten sites I have listed in this article, you can’t go too far wrong.

But you also have another simple option. You can publish your articles in PDF , which is free and only takes a few minutes.

12 Free Publishing Platforms for Writers to Publish Articles

websites for publishing articles

Are you a writer looking to get your content more exposure? Then free publishing platforms are your solution!

Read on for our best selection of 12 free online platforms for writers to publish articles.

If you're a writer or even an aspiring writer, this blog was written for you. Publishing your articles online can be a great way to reach a number of different goals, whether you want to:

  • earn money from your writing
  • bring in email subscribers
  • attract visitors to your website
  • publish a book one day
  • educate others on a topic you're passionate about

The list goes on. Whatever your goal, publishing your articles online is a great way to get there.

Before we start, this article is about finding spaces to publish blog articles and shorter pieces of work here. You'll need a different approach if you've got a book to publish.

So without further ado, let's get started.

Start Your Own Blog

The first thing I recommend doing is setting up your own blog. Not only does this allow you to publish what you want when you want, but you can also customize it to your brand's colors . It also means you can use SEO to bring more readers to your blog, whereas that's something that's out of your control when using third-party platforms.

Here are some of my favorite free blogging platforms.

1. WordPress

WordPress is a website and blog builder in one, so you get to choose which one most suits your needs. Do you have services to promote? Research projects or a portfolio to display? Then you could probably make use of the website function and have a blog attached to it, which you'll use to attract more visitors.

Just interested in writing for now? Use only the blog function. The great thing is if you decide later on that you want to start a website, you can do so without having to start all over again.

  • WordPress has a free and paid option. The free option is more than good enough for basic blog publishing needs. The paid option offers some cool features, like the option of a custom domain name, which you can decide to go for later if that appeals to you.

Wix is a great runner-up to Squarespace in that it is incredibly user-friendly. WordPress, for all its flexibility, can be a little complex to navigate if you're a first-timer.

Wix has pre-made templates, so all you need to do is pick one, customize it to your heart's content, and get writing.

Oh, and it has SEO tools to help you optimize your blog to appear higher up in search results.

  • Overall, a great one for beginners.

Blogger.com have been around for a long time, so they know what they're doing. It has some nifty added features, too.

The Google Analytics tool comes included, which allows you to track how your posts are doing. This feature is not to be underestimated because it means you can write more about what your audience wants to read.

Another included bonus is Google AdSense, which allows you to make money via ads that your readers will see when they visit your blog. Not everybody wants that, though, so you'll have to decide if it's for you. Still, it's great to have the option to earn a bit of cash while you're getting set up.

Independent Platforms

As far as free publishing platforms go, third-party, independent platforms to publish your writing are a pretty good option since they already have an established used database, so the hard work has been done for you.

  • There will be a bit of a learning curve for you to learn about their algorithm and understand how to increase your articles' visibility, but once you know what you're doing, you can really grow your readership.

Medium is kind of like social media meets a publishing platform. The great thing is that its users are dedicated and serious about good writing. So if you think you have a talent for writing,

No doubt, you'll also find yourself pulled into reading some of the great articles you can find on there. And that's a great thing, of course, since avid reading is the best way to improve your own writing.

Longform content is received exceptionally well, so if you're into writing longer pieces, Medium might be for you.

  • You can follow users whose writing you love, check out their other articles, message them, and generally keep up with their activity; this means, of course, that others can do the same with you.

5. LinkedIn

You've definitely heard of Linkedin. Who hasn't? Well, if you haven't, let me sum it up for you. Linkedin is a professional networking platform that features job advertisements, news relevant to your industry, the opportunity to connect with others in your field, and… article publishing.

There are many reasons to publish on Linkedin. First of all, not only does it have the potential to appear on your connections' own newsfeeds but also on second and third-degree connections' feeds.

You can also feature your top articles on your profile so visitors can see them immediately.

  • But ultimately, the best reason to publish on Linkedin is that, hypothetically, most of your connections are people from your niche or industry, so chances are they have the same interests as you, which should make your articles appealing to them.

Tumblr is a little different from other publishing platforms. First of all, it isn't exclusively for blog articles. You can also publish images and videos, have discussions and share other people's content. This means if you're creatively inclined, you can entertain your followers via mixed mediums.

But even if you exclusively want to write, Tumblr is an excellent place for that. It offers suggestions to readers based on their listed interests and what they've been reading. So if you play your cards right, you can have your articles recommended to others.

  • It's worth noting that Tumbl is probably better suited to shorter content,

7. Flipboard

Flipboard brings together news stories with social content and, in that way, highlights diverse voices.

  • The platform allows you to publish directly onto the platform and helps it reach people who'll be interested in what you have to say. Use current news stories to make fresh and relevant content that your readers will eat up.

8. Scoop.It

Not only is scoop.it a content publishing platform, but it also comes with content curation tools, meaning you can publish curated content and reach the right audience.

  • One hundred percent free and easy to use.

9. EzineArticles

EzineArticles is a submission website, which means you'll have to submit your articles for approval before they can be published. The great thing about that is the site attracts people who are fans of good writing. Grammatically correct, error-free writing.

  • All articles on their website are organized into categories, making it easy for readers to access articles they'll be interested in.

10. Article Alley

Article Alley, as the name suggests, is a hub for quality articles about a range of different topics. So no matter what you're writing about, you're sure to find people who'll be interested.

  • And the great thing is that you can earn royalties, too!

11. Substack

With Substack, you can also earn a little extra cash through paid subscriptions. That's right; you can use the platform to build a loyal readership, which is not only great in and of itself but also allows you to earn while you write.

  • Therefore, a great option if you're looking for a long-term publishing platform.

Guest Blogging

There's one more area we haven't talked about when it comes to free publishing platforms, and that's the concept of guest blogging. That means writing for an established site that will publish your articles under your name.

12. Article submission sites

Guest blogging can be a great way for you to increase your readership for several reasons.

  • First of all, you're accessing the website's readers, so that's a brand new audience for you to tap into.
  • Second, they'll usually allow you to add a bio within your article, which means you can link back to your own website or blog. And backlinks are a fantastic SEO tool.

What you'll want to do is search for online magazines or websites within your niche (the specific topic you write about), then make a list of websites you'd be interested in featuring on.

These sites will usually have a section with guidelines for article submissions. Read those, and decide whether it fits your writing style and whether it's worth your while. Try to think of the return on investment you're getting. Do they pay a fee for published articles?

Will they allow you to link back to your website?

Bear in mind that often, you'll have to write the article and submit it before knowing whether it's going to be accepted. But all isn't lost if you go to all that effort and the article isn't accepted: you can simply go ahead and publish it on one of the many free platforms listed above!

Concluding Thoughts on Free Publishing Platforms

Well, that concludes this list of free publishing platforms for writers. I hope that you've found it helpful and that at least one of these will suit your needs. My recommendation is to use several different ones, however, so that you can make the most of what each one has to offer, tap into different audiences, and maximize the growth of your writing experience. Remember, experience is the best teacher!

10. EzineArticles

Next up in this article submission sites list is EzineArticles , which is one of the most popular websites on the Internet for article posting. It has been around since 1999 and continues to be one of the top free article sites for creating more exposure, credibility, and traffic back to your site.

Why Use Article Submission Sites?

Article submission is the process of publishing your article on another website to generate high-quality backlinks to your website or blog. Article submissions are a type of off-page SEO technique that can help improve your website’s ranking position in the search engine results pages (SERPs).

Another important aspect of article submission is the articles themselves can rank in search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing for their target keywords. It is not uncommon for high DA article publishing sites to rank in the top 5 positions on Google soon after the content is published. This helps improve brand awareness for your business, control more real estate in the SERPs, and get more website traffic from users who are interested in your products and services.

For example, sites like LinkedIn and Reddit are favored highly in Google for specific search terms, and if you can publish one of your articles on those sites, then it can be much easier to rank in the top 5 positions in the SERPs without having to acquire as many backlinks. Additionally, having a top-ranking article in Google that links back to your website is good for off-site SEO. Not only can the article send targeted traffic to your site, but it’s much easier for that top-ranking page to acquire natural backlinks quickly; boosting the PageRank value of that link pointing to your site.

More Submission Sites

Now, if you want to make sure your website is properly crawled and indexed in the search engines, then take a look at this other free web submission sites list . It includes the top website submission forms you can use for online promotion.

Are you struggling to get your content out there but don’t know where to post your blog? You’re at the right place!

One of the biggest mistakes marketers make with their content is publishing them on single platforms only, usually their websites. However, this type of minimal exposure will result in minimal visibility and, ultimately, minimal results.

If you want to create great content in the first place, you want to get the most exposure for it. You will want it to reach the widest audience and exposure you can get.

After all, what’s the purpose of writing content and posting it online when people don’t get to read it?

Often, this involves repurposing and reposting that content on different channels.

Fortunately, there are several places to publish articles . Some of which you might not have considered using yet, but can be pretty beneficial for your articles.

If you are ready to amplify your content and grow traffic and conversations from your website, here are the top 10 content publishing platforms you can use today:

1. Your Own Blog

This is perhaps the most common platform most businesses use to get their content online and in front of their audiences. But that’s if your business already has one.

Places to publish articles include your  blog.

Creating and publishing blogs consistently on your website gives it credibility, authority, and traffic. At the same time, you will be providing seed content that can power additional content marketing into your posts and build audiences across multiple platforms.

Having your own business or personal website also gives you more operational and managerial control over what you can do with your content compared to other content publishing platforms .

If you truly want to master your blogging skills and take your business to the next level, then you must learn the ins and outs of your website. You want to make sure you publish only relevant, informative, and educational content that your audience can engage with and share on their social media accounts.

2. Social Media

Facebook is where to post your blog

Social media is already a great marketing and sales tool as it is. However, what makes it even more intriguing are the many features it offers journal editors. Editors who’re already using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn know just how effective social media networks can be when used correctly.

It is also worth noting that not all social media platforms were created equally. As such, some social media networks might benefit your business more than others. You need to know which social media channels will give your content the boost it needs to reach an even wider audience.

1. Facebook, Facebook Groups

Whenever you publish content to your blog, for example, you can always add an update to your Facebook page using teaser text to link back to your post.

You can also use images and meta tags to get even more engagement from your target audience. The focus of posting on Facebook is to attract even more eyeballs to your post.

Twitter is one of the best social media platforms to get your content in front of a wider audience. The best part about using Twitter is that you can tweet, then retweet, and repeat the same process to ensure maximum content exposure for your tweet.

3. LinkedIn Publishing Platform

LinkedIn Publishing Platform is an easy-to-access platform you can use to get your content in front of your LinkedIn followers and fans.

LinkedIn Publishing Platform enables you to post your blog too

Besides visibility within the social media platform itself, your articles will also be indexed by Google, which is a bonus to improve your rankings.

Since its launch in 2022, Medium has grown gradually to become one of the leading blogging platforms globally. Its prominence and popularity with the viral power of social media have only made it more popular.

Create a publication on Medium

Therefore, you can expect to get tens of millions of monthly users on the platform ready to receive your content.

Over time, after writing several consistently great articles, you start to develop an audience who will follow you for even more content. It works more like the subscription feature for YouTube.

Content publishing platforms - Medium

  • Republish some of your original blog posts to maximize your content exposure and get even more traffic
  • Rewrite great content for the platform. This might be more time-consuming in the short term, but it will get you more search visibility and additional traffic

Either way, you can link back to your older posts from within your articles already on the platform.

4. Press Release Newswire

Use press release newswire such as MarketersMEDIA on places to publish articles

One thing that never changes with content consumption is people’s desire to keep up with current news. Just about everyone is reading and consuming content online these days. Most web managers assume that press releases function more as SEO tools, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Most press releases function as branding and credibility tools. They work as excellent platforms for readers to get the word about current events more effectively.

Therefore, if your press release is engaging enough, you can use it to generate more social signals, create journalistic interest abroad, drive shares, and direct more targeted and organic traffic.

A press release allows you to share even more coverage and information about your business and its offerings in an ethical and journalistic manner focused more on newsworthiness and branding over social media, SEO, and anything else.

5. Email Newsletter

Places to publish articles include email newsletters. Example from LSIGraph

Email content promotion is another excellent content publishing platform you can use to promote your content online. To date, email still maintains its reputation as the “Oldie but Goldie” marketing and promotion strategy that still pulls significant weight.

Besides being more loyal to your brand, you also find that your email subscribers will be 3.9 times more likely to share your posts through their social media platforms than visitors from other sources.

You will also find that email clicks are often higher than click-through rates on social media platforms. Several studies reveal that you are six times more likely to get your content clicked from your email messaging than from an online tweet.

This makes email marketing one of the best places to publish articles and share messages about your website with your target audience.

6. Community Platforms

Community platforms have also become increasingly popular over the years and receive substantial favoritism from Google and other search engines. This makes them another excellent platform to publish your content.

Some of the best online community platforms you should consider publishing your content include:

Quora is one of the leading question-and-answer websites you will find today. The platform attracts more targeted traffic by simply answering questions from online users and sharing your expertise with them online.

It’s an excellent place to repurpose some of your recent articles by sharing relevant key points with them in a question-answer format.

To boost the visibility of your answers, you can:

  • Add one or more relevant images to promote engagement
  • Don’t come across as self-promoting
  • Be careful when answering questions from your target audience directly.

Reddit has almost as many users as Twitter – over 330 million.

Still, you cannot just jump on there and share your content, hoping it will reach your target audience, who will engage with it.

You must develop some history with the platform first by contributing to the Reddit community and collect karma.

Reddit is another community platform to share your knowledge

Some subreddits are individual communities that focus more on particular topic areas only. Most also permit you to post links only once you reach a specific karma score and prove your worth.

Subreddits also have posting rules that you must adhere to if you want to avoid being blocked. And once you can share links, you will do well not to overdo it. You can share other people’s work too.

7. Guest Post

Guest post example from LSIGraph are places to publish articles

Most blogs regularly publish content from their guest contributors, making it another excellent source to publish your articles.

Therefore, if you can put in the groundwork and are willing to guest post, go ahead. This can be one of your best long-term traffic sources. It can also give you exposure to new audiences while building your authority.

To start, ensure you set aside some time and study multiple articles that those audiences enjoy reading and can sell. Check to see if the website you are about to guest post regularly publishes content and what their policy is for publishing posts for guest contributors.

The best part about guest posting is that it’s not always difficult to stand out since most guest posts are usually substandard and low-quality. If you can create high-quality content as a guest contributor, the chances are very high that the website will publish your content.

8. Flipboard

Flipboard is another great platform to publish your content. Start taking advantage of it as soon as you can.
