If you have great articles about website design, graphic design, or anything design related but no one ever sees the content, does it count as great content? If you have great articles but people do not see them then you need to get your content published on more popular websites, websites with news content feeds. In this article we show you our Top 10 choices for your article submissions.
All of the sites listed below are FREE and most do not require registration to submit your article. Don’t even think about spamming them because all websites listed have moderators that choose what makes the cut and what does not, do DON’T EVEN TRY!

Queness is a great website to publish your design related articles, if you can get published. Their publishing policy is a little more strict then the previous publishers we have shown here, but once you are on there then you will receive good leads from them. A great tool, if you have written a great article, but don’t be surprised if a sub par article is not published.

Who Freelance is one of the hard websites to get published on, so don’t be surprised if you never see your article on their website, but if you ever do make it on their news feed then it’s worth it. Their navigation for published articles is not as good as the other sites listed because they reside on their own page but once you are there then you will be seen by who you need to be seen by.
8.Freelance Folder
Does not require registration
Freelance folder is a great resource for content if you are looking, but getting published on the website is very hard compared to the other websites I have listed. Once there you will see a great influx of visitors, but getting there is the hard part.

Most freelance designers know of this website either for their great content of their awesome tutorials. Although you do not have to register to publish content on the website it is not easy to get listed. Your content should provide a good read to their visitors or you will not be published. Once you are published you will find your article on every page of the site. Another site that gets high marks from us by experience.
