Here are some general tips to getting listed in directories: •Make your site look as professional as possible before submitting to a directory. For the English version of a directory your site must be in English. This is actually where you will click on “submit a site” and submit your site directly to that category (this is called “drilling down” through the directory). NOTE: There is no guarantee that the directory will agree with your choice.

Some aspiring writers buy writers’ directories, look up addresses of publications, and pitch dozens of query letters helter-skelter to publications in the directory. Writers’ directories can be intimidating. Looking through writers’ directories (or websites that list periodicals) will have you running all over the place trying to find ideas that fit the publications in the directory.

I had relied on and still use free directories such as O'Dwyer's for public relations firms. Way back in the mid 1970s, the breakthrough job-search guide came out. It was "What Color Is Your Parachute?" " Its advice was shocking - and effective. One of its recommendations is to invest time in pitching to organizations which haven't posted a help-wanted. Many good jobs are never advertised. The guide was right.
