An Article Development Rant:

I am not a big fan of article series where an author with have Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, etc…

Article Marketing does not lend itself to help you increase your credibility when a reader or a publisher has to work hard to try and find the other “parts” to your incomplete article.

A better solution is to NOT create any articles that are dependant on other articles in order to be a complete story or idea development.

Make sense?

I agree 110% with your opinion that article series are not popular. As an ezine editor, I never use article series. I find it frustrating waiting for Part 2 or Part 3 to arrive. By the time they arrive, I am into another edition of my ezine and I have forgotten what I put into the previous edition. Sorry, what I did yesterday is easily forgotten — I move forward.

I never publish articles in series but I may occasionally touch lightly on a particular concept within an article and mention, “I have written more extensively about this in other articles devoted to this issue, however, for now suffice it to say that….

For example, in an article for new homeowners about mortgage maintenance I may briefly discuss late payments and foreclosure but not go into an all-out in depth foreclosure advisory in that article.

Hopefully that is acceptable. Each article does stand alone but an intrigued reader is welcome to visit (via my resource box) my website to read further.
