Hi Sarah, I don’t submit to multiple directories. I submit mine to iSnare.com and EzineArticles.com and a couple others.

I have experienced no issues with duplicate content doing so. Hope that helps

Thanks for sharing these thoughts with us Carrie. I am a homeschooler too and often find it hard to stay focused on my goals outside of that mission. My goal right now is to get focussed and stay on track. I challenged a few friends of my own to a 30 day article writing challenge, we are half way through and even myself, who loves and has no troubles finding things to write about has found it harder than expected. But I am determined to succeed.

I have a question perhaps you or someone else could answer in regards to submitting articles to multiple directories.

Some people say that to do so is creating duplicate content, and if one does submit to multiple directories the article should be edited to make it slightly different, which would be a huge time commitment. There are software programs designed to submit to loads of directories in one hit, so this indicates that to do so is a common practice.

What is your advice?

What a coincidence! I just saw something about this somewhere else. Maybe it’s a sign.

While I know I have to work hard at my business, it’s hard to get started because of not knowing where to get started. Then you have all the pulls and tugs from the outside world.

Thank you so much for this.

Great thoughts Carrie and I can empathize with your mother because I’m a newbee and trying to get to grips with everything.
I too have found people thinking that if they can get passive income everything will be great. However, what happens if every one is passive!! It does take work and to keep customers coming back requires you to continually add value to them
Love your thoughts around being coached because that is the area we work in and its great to have that reinforced in the market place.
