Publishing: New Submitter Checklist

"What is everything I need to be able to submit my work?"

The question publishers have heard over and over again. Despite usually posted somewhere on your site for submitters to find, the question comes in frequently. But automating the answer along with other information and advice for submitting is a great way to start building that rapport with contacts.

This automation sends contacts an email with all the necessary information and resources needed for submitters to be considered. It then helps establish trust even more by sending an email with content such as advice on how to get published, articles on how to get approved, or an invitation to a writing workshop, to name a few ideas. All conveniently provided as gated content once the contact submits a form.

Here's how the automation works:
1. The automation is triggered when a contact submits your form for information about getting published.
2. The contact is sent an email with the information and resources necessary to be considered and an overview of the process.
3. The contact waits a day at a wait step.
4. The contact is then sent another email with advice or thought leadership on getting published.
