Excerpt
There is a series of things you must do to boost your chances of convincing editors that your article will be a good fit for their magazine. I've developed a system that works practically every time using this principle and it includes all of these things:
1. Dreaming up a saleable topic idea.
2. Researching the topic thoroughly
3. Finding and researching publications to pitch to.
4. Creating a query letter that will resonate with the editor.
5. Delivering a quality piece in a timely manner.
6. Getting repeat business with that editor.
I call this my links-in-the-chain theory of freelance marketing. If a chain has a weak link, it will break at that link when it is stressed.
