There are a lot of myths out there about getting your articles into publications: that it’s self-serving, that people who do it are egomaniacs, or even that you have to brag about your achievements to get publishers to notice you. Despite all the misconceptions, it really is possible to get yourself published without coming across as a know-it-all who’s full of himself.
Get published
Despite what people say, getting published does not mean you’re self-promoting. If you look past that stereotype, you can treat getting published as an opportunity to spread your knowledge and expertise, providing value to the publication and to those who are reading it. You don’t need to brag about your personal or company success to write a good article, either. If you base each article on information rather than self-promotion, you’re actually helping people out and building your professional brand at the same time.
