Article Submission. The Resource (links) Box Guide.

This way it is not just a clickable link but people can copy and paste it if they decide to take a peek another time. It is advisable to use some internal webpage's (deep links) from your website for different articles. This'll increase your sites search engine rankings in time.
A resource box is basically your sales speech. It is where you attempt to lure in customers. That is why its important to convince the readers that you are truly a specialist in the field. Resource boxes should be a minimum 2 or 3 lines but ideally should be 5 lines or so. If you have made variants of the same article it is important that you apply variation for resource boxes as well.
You should clarify that the link is where they should visit for further professional information or help. Make sure that you offer a free quote or examples etc.
Things not to include in the resource boxes!

Don't promote irrelevant services or products either because in all likelihood you will be banned from the directory.
