So you have written an online tutorial for an application like Adobe
Photoshop or maybe an article about a programming language you know
like the back of your hand and you did so not only to share your
knowledge with others but also to simply improve the traffic of your
website and the image of your online business? If so you might now
have just one serious problem left, which might be: How to get the
word about your new web tutorial out? How to tell others about the
great piece of advice you have just written? Fortunately for you there
are several simple ways you can take to showcase your tutorial to the
public and which will help you to easily reach your goals of more
visitors and an improved image - provided your tutorial is really as
good and useful as you think.
1. Submitting your tutorial to tutorial database sites
There are many websites on the internet that simply index and showcase
good tutorials to a broad audience. To most of those sites you can
submit your own tutorial for free and if they accept it they will
place a link to it on their site where it can be seen by their
visitors. The biggest site of this kind (for Adobe Photoshop
tutorials) is probably http://www.good-tutorials.com/ but you might
find many others by searching in Google.
2. Submitting your tutorial to tutorial voting sites
Those work quite similar to the tutorial database sites from step 1:
You submit your tutorial and if users like it they will vote for it.
If a tutorial gets enough votes it gets published to the front page
where the most people can see it. An example for such a site would be http://www.tutorialism.com/ but as for everything else on the internet
there is quite a variety of different sites available for this
purpose.
3. Other social bookmarking services
There are many more websites where you can submit a link and if users
like it they can vote for it or tell their friends about it - those
might or might not help your tutorial. Anyway, a big list of such
sites can be found at Wikipedia in the article "List of social
software" and since submitting is very simple it is well worth at
least trying it.
After completing all those steps your tutorial should at least receive
a few thousand visitors with the top being basically open (but greatly
depending on the quality of your tutorial). So you can at least be
sure you did not write that article for nothing.
