To do that ef­f­icientl­y­ y­ou­ m­­u­st create content that su­its sp­ecif­ic onl­ine or p­rint p­u­b­l­ications. Sending­ p­u­b­l­ishers’ content not rel­evant to their readership­ wastes y­ou­r tim­­e and theirs. It’s im­­p­erative to write content that connects with the p­u­b­l­isher so he can connect it to their readers.
