It's really pretty simple. The only hard part is setting
up formmail.pl.
If you already know how to setup formmail.pl, then just
copy the article submission form from the bottom of
the following page and change the "to" email
address to your own:
Basically, this is a generic script that allows you
to set up a form on your site and have the results sent
to your email address. You can use it for your newsletter
signup form, your "Add URL" form and for soliciting
article submissions.
Once you have your form setup and tested, be sure to
keep track of the authors who submit. A friendly email
to them on a monthly basis asking for more articles
is a good idea.
If you don't want to mess around with learning formmail
right now (and I don't blame you; I only learned a couple
months ago), it is very inexpensive to find someone
to do it for you. Here is an option for you:
Post your project to Elance.com. This is kind of overkill
for such a small project, but it's an option. If you
have other work to hire out to Elance, you can bundle
this in with it.
Now just sit back and relax. You will be amazed at how
quickly you start getting submissions and how many you
receive.
Eventually you will receive enough submissions to this
form that you will never have to write another article
for your newsletter if you don't want to.
