Many people are now seeing the importance of writing and publishing articles. Apart from being cheap, it is a very reliable and an everlasting source to promote your business online.
Based on my experience in 2016 regarding writing and publishing articles online, I will recommend to you 5 top articles directories you need to visit in 2017.

The list includes:
I. www.hubslides.com
II. www.articlebasement.com
III. www.articledunia.com
IV. www.letsbefamous.com
V. www.streetarticels.com

Most of the listed sites above require registration and email confirmation before you can be allowed to submit and publish your contents.
Great thing about hubslides is that it allows you add video link and lots of images to your articles which makes it interactive to your visitors.
