Neglecting the smaller details, can make one's writing seem amateurish. One important thing to watch out for is redundancy. You'll see it all the time in newspapers and student essays, especially when using quotes.</p><p><strong>Example:</strong></p><p></p><blockquote>The chair of the fundraising committee says she's excited about next week's event.<p></p><p>"I'm super excited about next week's event," said Stacey Stoked.</p></blockquote><p></p><p>The sentence introducing the quote should have something to say about what's in the quote, but shouldn't just be a paraphrase.</p><p><strong>Example: </strong></p><p></p><blockquote>The chair of the fundraising committee says she's excited about next week's event.<p></p><p>"Everything is going to be fantastic - the music, the dancing the comedy act. I can't wait," said Stacey Stoked.</p></blockquote><p></p><p>Redundancy often shows up when similar words with the same meaning show up in the same sentence.</p><p><strong>Example:</strong></p><p></p><blockquote>This cleaning feature allows the mechanic to reuse the filter again.</blockquote><p></p><p>Sometimes, as in a list, a writer will deliberately reuse words with similar meaning for emphasis.</p><p><strong>Example:</strong></p><p></p><blockquote>The criminal was callous, cold-hearted and unfeeling.</blockquote><p></p><p>However, you have to a pretty good writer to avoid the pitfalls of this technique. The reader might assume you don't have much else to say on the subject, that you're being hyperbolic or that you just haven't figured out that the words you are using all mean the same thing.</p><p>One final problem, which is surprisingly common despite how easily it can be spotted, is using the exact same word over and over in a paragraph.</p><p><strong>Example:</strong></p><p></p><blockquote>The burglar quietly entered the house through the back door. He quietly crept up the stairs. He quietly opened the door to the room where the man was sleeping.</blockquote><p></p><p>You get the picture. Most instances aren't that obvious, but you can clear up repetition by giving your writing a quick read over.</p><p>Although many people would suggest reading your work aloud, this is rarely practical. Pronounce each word in your head as you read your final draft. You'll catch the errors you miss by scanning.</p><p>Pay particular attention to the quotes and paraphrases of your interview subjects. Avoid using repetition simply to pad a weak story. If your story doesn't quite reach the minimum word count, check your notes. Perhaps there was another angle you could have explored. Maybe there's another issue you avoided raising due to the complexity, but could be worth a second look. Or, it's possible that there just isn't enough meat in this story for the reader.</p><p>While most writers have competent editors to help them revise their work, in this era of internet self-publishing, it pays to develop the skills to become your own editor.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-79407747412160154412013-02-06T00:29:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:57.709-07:00Time Management for Article Writing - 5 Tips That Work<div id="article-content"> <p>I've been writing a lot this year, mostly for my full time day job. Time management is essential to produce high quality content in a timely manner. Therefore a time management process is equally essential. I just finished a training manual with 17 chapters and some 39 thousand words. This project took two weeks to finish besides other projects and responsibilities. It dawned on me that the method I use to write manuals may be just what some of you need to write your articles more quickly. You can use any word processing, or slide deck program to organize your process.</p><p>I call this process my outline to output work flow. This is a 5 step process that can be used as a template to use over and over again. If you are publishing online and want to rank your article with search engines, make sure to target specific key words that readers are looking for.</p><p>The process goes like this:</p><p></p><ol> <li><strong>Plan Ahead</strong> - Keep a topic journal just for your article writing. Any time you think of a topic write it down. some people like paper journals or notebooks. Others prefer electronic tools like Evernote or Springpad. The really important thing is that you have access to your ideas at any time. The other tips will be helpful on their own but this is really the most important step to me. There are so many times when I am working on a project and an idea for and article comes to mind. Or, I may realize that just a portion of a manual or piece of training content would make a great article. I use Evernote on my iPad or smart phone to capture ideas and subject matter for my writing. However you decide to capture your ideas it needs to be immediate so that your ideas don't disappear before you have a chance to develop them. I think you will find that this method will generate more topics than you will be able to keep up with.</li><br/> <li><strong>Turn Your Ideas Into Outlines</strong> - It is so much easier to organize your thoughts into an outline format. I actually got this idea from Pat Flynn from The Smart Passive Income Blog. He explains on his blog how he writes his e-books by first creating an outline from a topic he wants to write about. I didn't realize that's what I've been doing for along time when I write training material. I like to use PowerPoint to create my outline because it makes it easy to use bullet points and numbering for my outlines.</li><br/> <li><strong>Expand the Points From Your Outline</strong> - Once you have your main points arranged into the bullet points of an outline, it becomes simple to turn those points into sentences and paragraphs. Research your topic and take unique notes from your source material. Rearrange your notes to create interesting content. Remember to use key words that those looking for your topic will naturally use in their searches. If you find a source that inspires you, use quotes to add credibility to your own opinions. If your publisher allows it, link to these sources for great outgoing links.</li><br/> <li><strong>Turn Your Outline Into An Article</strong> - This point is a great time management tip. All you need to do is turn your your outline bullet points into article headings or numbers tips that your readers can easily follow. How to articles that teach an object lesson are very valuable and will build your audience quickly.</li><br/> <li><strong>Proof it and Read it Aloud</strong> - Most article submission sites have good quality standards in place to assure original content that readers will enjoy. Make sure to save time by proofing your work thoroughly. One of the most important time management principles is to remove actions that waste time. I have found that reading my work aloud helps me catch mistakes that I would otherwise miss. Another great way to proof your articles is to have someone act as editor.</li> </ol><p></p><p>I hope you have found this article helpful. I'm sure if you follow these simple tips your writing productivity will improve. Always partner with a quality article publisher like EzineArticles.</p><p>After you try these tips let our readers know how they worked.

The trust, credibility, and authority that content marketing creates knocks down sales resistance to the benefits of a particular product or service.</p><p>High quality content must fundamentally change a customer's direction, it does that by teaching and motivating the customer in specific ways.</p><p>So what kind of content does it take to change the customer's direction? Anything that is written and distributed for the purpose of attracting, acquiring, and/or engaging customers are considered part of content marketing.</p><p>Not every business is in the publishing business, but businesses that don't create content for marketing purposes are missing out on major opportunities.</p><p><strong>Building Trust</strong> <br/>Marketing is about building trust, and engaging with your customers. Anything that is written and distributed for the purpose of attracting, acquiring, and/or engaging customers are considered part of content marketing.</p><p>Storytelling is something we all do in our personal lives. It's a short leap to helping your company tell its story as part of your content marketing. The skill in writing comes from being able to tell a story well and writing in a tone and voice that resonates with the reader.</p><p>We create content to educate our customers or prospects about ways they can solve their problems and address challenges they face.</p><p>Quality comes from understanding that creating content isn't the same as PR, and it certainly isn't advertising. Seems like an obvious point, but wade through the deepening thicket of content programs and you get mixed results.</p><p><strong>Content Marketing is Not Selling</strong> <br/>Basically, content marketing is the art of communicating with your customers and prospects without selling.</p><p>I am a terrible salesman but I am a fairly good writer. I can describe a product and its benefits very accurately and if there is someone out there looking for that particular product I am confident they will find my content beneficial.</p><p>I don't go looking for customers exactly but I do present products in areas where those who are or maybe looking for a certain product hangs out. This maybe a social media site or a blog. So how do you know if your products is desired, if you are on a dog site you will not likely be promoting Kitty litter.</p><p>Many people think they need to be good writers or salesman to market content. If you can tell a story and relate benefits of a certain product or service that is basically all that is required.</p><p>There is money to be made with content marketing through article marketing. You don't have to be a prize winning author to receive a share of that income.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-54665045347291561182013-01-31T03:54:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.964-07:00Finding The Jobs Nobody Knows About<div id="article-content"> <p>Ok, you've found this article because 1 of 2 reasons:</p><p>A) You are curious if there is a LEGIT, online job for you.</p><p>OR</p><p>B) You're hurting for a little extra money, have the ability to write well, and want to find out if you can be profitable doing it online. (3 in 1, my bad)</p><p>Although there is a niche in the job market online, it's hard to find exactly what you want to do; let alone what you CAN do.</p><p>In other words, with all of the schemes, scams and BS that's in droves out there on the net, it's like trying to walk from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a map. Sure you find a body of water. You think it's the Atlantic, but soon you find out it's the Gulf of Mexico and there's a hurricane coming in and you're thinking, "HOLY CRAP! I'm screwed! If I had only taken a left instead of a right I wouldn't be in this situation!"...</p><p>Ok, that was a little ridiculous. But you can see my point right?</p><p>The reason you hear so much about all of these "jobs" online is because they ARE there, you just have to find them. Often, they are in the most unlikely of places.</p><p>Technology is ever evolving and growing and even small town mom and pop shops have websites now. EVERYTHING IS ONLINE!!!! But I'm not going to sit here and tell you what you already know, I'm just making a point that with all of this business from physical and online companies hitting the web by the masses, there are jobs for you out there online.</p><p>For example: Do you think that the CEO of ANY company, personally maintains their company's Facebook page? Probably not, yet it's good business to have one right? Well that's where you come in.</p><p>See? That's something that I never would have thought of, but after a long time of searching online for what I want to do, I found a way to do it.</p><p>I have started a journey in the field of affiliate marketing. So yes, the solution that I have found for you is a product that I am marketing.</p><p>Why am I telling you this?</p><p>Because, I seriously hate deceiving marketers that are only out there to make a sale and not really caring about whether or not the product they are marketing is a worthwhile buy.</p><p>Before I decided to market this product that I'll reviel in a second, I researched it and found that it received so much positive feed back by consumers that it stood out among the rest of the products I had the option of advertising. Because of this, I wanted to put an avenue out there, through me, for YOU to find a quality product that will take you to places that you want to go.</p><p>(I'm not allowed to put the link in the text, but go down to the bottom of the page and you'll find my Squidoo lens that will have it all for you)</p><p>If you've read this far, you might as well check it out for yourself and see what I'm talking about. Do some research on it yourself if you like, just be sure to come back to this page and use the link... I scratched that hard to reach spot on your back, please help me reach mine.</p><p>In any case, I do hope that you find what you're looking for.</p><p>Thanks for reading my first Ezine Article!</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-978002039884778522013-01-27T08:17:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.315-07:00How To Write Better SEO Articles<div id="article-content"> <p>Even if you are not a native writer, you can write a good SEO article. However, before explaining to you how is it possible to write better articles, let's talk a little about the market of articles, and about some methods that would allow you to position yourself better in this market.</p><p>There are some writers that can't even spell basic English, writers that are still able to make good internet money. How is that possible? In my opinion, every ORIGINAL article written on internet has its value. Even those written by Asian writers with no experience and skills have their value. Maybe a buyer would not be willing to pay more than 0.5 $ / 500 words of this kind, but even such an article can be sold by people who know how to write SEO articles.</p><p>You might ask what a person would do with such an article. I must admit I have never asked my clients what would they do with my articles, and this is one of the basics rules that you must respect when you write SEO articles. As long as a client has paid you for an article, you don't have any right about it anymore. In fact, this is the basic of content article writing, and this is the reason why this kind of writing is called ghostwriting.</p><p>However, I think there are two methods for buyers to use this kind of bad SEO article. First, they might use it only for SEO optimization. The article would be placed on an obscure page of their website, in a section that is never accessed by visitors, only for SEO purposes. The Google crawlers would index the respective page, as it contains the keywords, and the article would be accessed only by a limited number of visitors. This is a common practice, so don't be surprised if you find a solid website with great articles, but also with a bad section that contains only articles giving you headaches.</p><p>Another method to use those articles is to correct them. I am the kind of writer that doesn't like to get back on his work, but there are some webmasters that just can't do it other way. Those webmasters buy bad articles with low prices, giving them to a native proofreader for modifications. On the other hand, it is not such a great deal. A bad article with a cost of $1 might need solid corrections, and a native corrector would request at least $2 to modify the respective article. Total costs would be $3 for an article. With this kind of money, you can find writers (like me), who are not perfect in English, but whom can write good articles for any kind of internet site.</p><p>As a conclusion, it is a good idea for a writer to learn how to write SEO articles better, instead of dealing with bad content. Moreover, Google introduced some new algorithms that are able to detect bad content; therefore, it is better to have a website with quality content all over, instead of having a section with bad articles.</p><p>A writer that is able to write SEO articles with limited English notions can always improve his or hers skills. Let's see some methods that would allow you to write good content articles after a while.</p><p>Always listen to your clients</p><p>If you are a beginner and you have just wrote your first SEO article, your client might have better notions of English than you, therefore he or she might send the article back for proofreading. Correct the article and keep the advices of the respective person in mind. You would never guess how many important and interesting facts you might find out about writing just by correcting your own articles, considering the specifications of clients.</p><p>Find guides and English courses online</p><p>It is not that hard to learn how to write SEO articles. You just need a few notions about keywords, density and page arrangement. The level of English is much more important. Don't stop writing, but whenever you have some free time, use it wisely and study the free English guides available on the internet. You might even want to find the paid guides, which are more effective, but make sure to spend your money wisely.</p><p>Read a lot. English articles, news and guides are perfect to improve your English level. However, there is nothing better than a solid guide is.</p><p>Watch movies in your own language without subtitles. This way, your brain would "train" itself to translate the movie. This empiric method was used by many writers, and it is the perfect method to improve your English at conversational level.</p><p>With all those aspects in your mind, you will be able to write SEO articles effectively after a while, and to improve your content article writing style, allowing you to write for more money.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-77808587896446997572013-01-23T04:08:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.751-07:00Writing Successful Articles For Your Business<div id="article-content"> <p>How do you write successful articles for your business? What do you say to get someone's interest? What do you write in order for the article not to be considered spam by the internet? How do you write an article to get it to rank high on the search engines? These are all things you need to consider when starting to write an article.</p><p>Did you ever notice the number of spam articles or E-mails you have? How do they get there? What triggers it to be considered spam?</p><p>Obviously everything that is posted is not read by a human and they decide if it is spam or not. There are certain things that the search engines look for that decides if it is considered spam.</p><p>When posting your article, you need to get it to rank high for people to see it. You really should get somewhere within the first two screens. When people search the internet for a certain topic basically they look at the first couple screens before they move on to something else. I know even myself, when I am looking something up sometimes there are many, many pages of information on my topic. I usually look at the first two before I may try wording it another way or moving on and working on something else.</p><p>So, how do people get ranked high on the search engines? You can get your article to post at the top with the pay per click but did you know that there are ways you can rank high for nothing? There are things that you can do to get your article to rank high just by the way you write your article.</p><p>Another thing you have to consider is what do you write to make people interested in your articles? To write a successful article you need to be creative. You can't just write a bunch of crap in your article and expect results. You need to hold their interest and make them realize you know what you are talking about. Make it interesting and informative. Put yourself in their place. What would you want to know if you were researching that particular topic? Take time on your article. Cover as much on the topic as you can. Spend time researching if need be. When you are done make sure you edit. It looks very unprofessional if you write an article with a bunch of words that are misspelled or sentences that don't make sense. Always reread your article at least a couple times to make sure everything is correct.</p><p>These are some of the things you really need to think about when writing your article. Good luck writing your articles!</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-25211711429836152232013-01-19T02:12:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.305-07:00Preparing Quality Online Content for the Mind Development Topic<div id="article-content"> <p>As an online article writer I've been truly amazed at which articles Internet readers most enjoy. That is to say which articles I write that draw the most traffic. You must understand that mere "traffic" is not my goal, I like to write about things I like to write about. If that draws more readers online, all the better, but it's really not my priority at all. In fact, I never look at keywords, I just write on the topics that I have knowledge and interest in. This is one of those articles, and I'd like to explain why.</p><p>You see, I've learned something that you, as an online article author, may not know, nor did I at first, rather it's something that I've learned the hard way, through trial and error and reviewing some of my past article view statistics. Here is what I've learned; online information seekers are much like channel checkers, they move around the Internet looking for bits and pieces of inspiration, nuance, and interesting information. When they are in this information seeking mode, one of their most favorite topics seems to be self-help categories. Within this sector is a smaller niche; mind development.</p><p>This is where the thinkers go, not the folks who follow the paparazzi stories such as "what Paris Hilton ate for breakfast," or any of that jazz. Okay so, let's say you want to reach the more intellectual crowd at a time when they are completely open to new information? Well, it would be when they are out searching for memory or mind development information online. That makes sense right? Now then, how do you prepare quality content on this most fascinating topic? Well, let's talk about that shall we?</p><p>I found the people like two different types of article in this venue. Some like the articles which have tips and new strategies for improving memory and brain function, and others enjoy articles that make them think and that really generate some philosophical thought.</p><p>If you're going to prepare articles with tips and strategies, such as various types of food to eat to improve brain function, or types of mental exercise to do, then you should prepare those in bulleted lists, or numerated so they can quickly scan the article, and go try out some of those new ideas.</p><p>Preparing quality content for the intellectual philosophical crowd on mind development can be done very easily by taking one specific tip for improvement and putting it into a scenario, story, or setting, and then allowing the reader to understand the moral of the story, uptake that information, and make them think about the process. This ladder strategy seems to work quite well, and I am heartened by some of the great e-mails I get after people read such articles of this type. Please consider all this and think on it.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-91907865895739590442013-01-16T05:52:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.671-07:00Writing For Money Online - How To Earn A Living Online From Home By
Writing Articles<div id="article-content"> <p>Do you enjoy writing? And are you wondering how you could possibly turn it into money? You're in luck! Making money with your writing has never been easier.</p><p>It used to be that writing was something you did for enjoyment and the love of it. The mere idea of getting paid would make people laugh at you. Finding an agent will take a lot of time and money from you, and your chances of striking gold are small.</p><p>However, things have changed thanks to the internet. And they keep changing as Google is insisting on quality information on websites, and as Amazon needs more high quality content for its Kindle store.</p><p>So if you enjoy writing it's time for you to take action and turn your writing into a nice income, whether as a sideline or as a full-time income. And no, you won't have to write entire books. You can get started by writing simple articles - and get paid for it.</p><p>Here are just a few ways you can use to fill your bank account with the fruits of your writing:</p><p><strong>1. Write for hire</strong></p><p>The first and easiest way to get paid for your writing is to write for hire. There are countless people out there looking for high quality writing for their websites, much of it in form of blog posts and articles. You can find them on websites for freelancers, on forums, and you can even go seek them out online.</p><p><strong>2. Write for yourself</strong></p><p>Another way to make money with your writing is to write for yourself. For example, you could write and publish articles that promote affiliate products. At the end of your articles, you can include a link (look below for an example) that will invite your readers to visit your website - or the website of the product you recommend.</p><p>If you send them to your own website, you can offer them something in exchange of giving you their email address as well as permission to send them occasional email. That way, you can follow up and build a relationship with them, and then recommend either your own products or affiliate products - and get paid.</p><p><strong>3. Write for Kindle</strong></p><p>Thanks to Amazon, we now have a new and very lucrative way to get paid for our writing. No longer dependent on finicky agents and editors, we can publish our own downloadable books and get paid through Amazon. How cool is that!</p><p>And that's not all. There are many other ways to make money with your writing, but these three are certainly enough to give you a good idea of the possibilities. So if making money online through writing appeals to you, it's time to get started.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-77084359042992406342013-01-12T03:51:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.601-07:00Writing Articles on Self Improvement Topics Considered<div id="article-content"> <p>There are a tremendous number of online coaches, self-help mentors, and psychologists with a positive displacement writing online articles in the self-help venue. That's all well and good, as it helps those who might be a little depressed with whatever they are going through who need to get out of their funk and into a happy optimistic attitude. You know, sometimes people just need a little boost and pick-me-up to get them going once again. Okay so, let's talk shall we?</p><p>Let me tell you something about writing self-improvement articles online. First, I've written quite a few myself, hundreds of them actually - what I found is readers most often respond to these types of articles when you tell a story of hardship and overcoming those adversities. When you show the reader that adversity builds character and they too can overcome their own personal challenges in their own lives, perhaps much different, you are well on your way to a great self-help online article.</p><p>It is also very important to help the reader that you, the author, understand what they're going through, and you know there is a light at the end the tunnel, and they can reach it if they will commit to not giving up. One thing I've found in writing articles on self-help topics is that they are actually quite fun to write and they are easy to produce - if you do so when you yourself are in the most positive of attitudes. Those folks that like to write such articles are quite often writers who do occasionally experience at least some depression. It's best of course not to write articles during those depressed times, but rather when the writer is coming into a manic state.</p><p>Although I myself am perpetually one with a positive attitude, I can clearly see by the articles I read which articles were not written by authors during their peak periods. Another thing that is quite important is to post these articles on a Tuesday, therefore they will be good and ready in the search engines as the end of the week rolls around when most people are stressed out, and they will also be there on the weekend in case a reader is feeling lonely or depressed.</p><p>It makes sense when preparing this type of online content to stay away from too many clichés, although it is okay to help relate with your audience using a common well-known quote or phrase now and again. If you are a self-help coach, psychologist, or someone who wishes to help other people you might very much enjoy this online article authoring venue for your best self-improvement pieces. Please consider all this and think on it.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-76357160115059842972013-01-09T05:06:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.527-07:00General Ghostwriting Guidelines<div id="article-content"> <p>Even if it is not a job that is officially recognized as others are, ghostwriting is a profitable and professional job, which is adopted by a large number of people today. Being a ghostwriter is a matter of passion, as I can tell you from the start that writing a SEO article it is not a job for everyone. It is a combination of creativity, intelligence and determination. You will work with deadlines, you might sometimes have clients that have many pretenses for the money they pay, and you need to be polite with all of them. Let's see the advantages and disadvantages of being a ghostwriter, before talking about how you could become one.</p><p>Advantages of writing articles for money</p><p>1. Stimulates creativity</p><p>I don't think that I am smarter since I begun to write articles, but I can tell you that I am more creative. This can be seen in the everyday life also. If you know how to write SEO articles, you will think faster, you will be more creative, and you will gain notions about different fields and industries</p><p>2. The advantage of being on your own</p><p>If you write articles from home, you won't have any bosses, and you will have the freedom to accept the projects that you want, and to refuse those that are not that appealing. Moreover, you can establish your own schedule, as long as you respect the deadlines.</p><p>Disadvantages</p><p>1. Of course, there are also disadvantages of this job. A SEO article might bring you from 1 to 50 dollars, but the majority of writers can't make a living out of this. I have learned how to write SEO articles three years ago, but I must admit that my financial situation does not allow me to renounce my day job just yet.</p><p>2. It is not a constant job. Sometimes, you write SEO articles for 5 clients at the same time, while during other periods, especially during the summer, you won't have ant single SEO article to write. Therefore, if you want to obtain incomes only from content article writing, you will have to develop a good money management strategy, so you would have the necessary resources to live while you don't have work.</p><p>Let's see how you can become a quality ghostwriter, and why it is lucrative to have this job.</p><p>People access the internet searching for information. If you are passionate about writing, you can offer those services to the websites that offer information to the internet navigators. The advantage is that you don't need academic diplomas and advanced English exams. There is a place for every person that wants to write, and I can tell you that the most hideous article written by a person with limited English notions can be sold online. Of course, we are probably talking about 80 cents / 500 words, but for people writing those poor quality articles, it is a way of living.</p><p>I am not saying that I encourage poor content. On the contrary, with the latest engines and restrictions imposed by Google, quality content starts to have a greater importance for SEO than link building and other methods of marketing.</p><p>The online market grows as we speak. Articles are needed not only by websites, but also by publishers, newspapers and press companies. Even if you are a beginner, you will have to be patient, as you will surely find some work online.</p><p>Start by writing an article of your own. Choose a topic that you like, as it will be your sample article that you need to show to your clients. Read it numerous times, correct it, and make sure it is perfect. If you like this first SEO article, you can write some more, as you would need samples in different niches. I personally like gambling, health, economy, banking, credit, loans, sports, and music, but there are tens of other writing internet niches that are popular.However, you can try other popular niches of your choice.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-88777253250866614672013-01-05T07:37:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.613-07:00Tips on Effective Article Writing for Beginners<div id="article-content"> <p>Creating your own blog site is easy (if you're signing up for free on a host site), but thinking of contents that would catch everyone's attention is something. Writing an informative article requires skill. However, if you're that interested in blogging, there are references in the internet regarding article writing tips that would help you enhance your writing skills.</p><p>Basically, article writing tips would give you 10 advices on how to make your articles interesting and sound. Before typing your article, it would be best to do an outline first. Your outline must be divided into three parts: introduction, body, and conclusion. Under each part, there would be bullet points on the subtopics. This would help you organize the flow of your article. An outline will also help you avoid redundancy of points to discuss.</p><p>Afterwards, you need to give an overview of the topic. An overview includes background, history, and idea of the subject matter. The introduction is usually a short one. You should give all the details in the body.</p><p>Proceed now to the body. Follow the order of topics to discuss as what you have listed accordingly in your outline. You have to discuss each point of the subtopics. Remember, everything the readers need to know about the article is found in the body. You're supposed to pour it all here. There is one reminder, though: be straight to the point.</p><p>People enjoy reading blogs more than newspapers because of its friendly approach. Since you're writing a blog post, you have to make the readers be put to ease even with serious topics. Treat your blog posting as a conversation between you and your friend. Make it sound casual but essential. However, you have to watch out for incomplete sentences.</p><p>If you're going to make use of other sites as a reference, make sure that you state the source correctly. Article writing tips would also require you to be familiar with different styles of source citation. If you're used to the APA style when doing your thesis or research paper, you can use it here.</p><p>Be creative in doing your introduction and conclusion. Creativity cannot be taught, but some of the ways you can make your articles interesting is starting or ending it with a quotation from a certain source. Play with words. As for the conclusion, you only need to summarize what you have discussed earlier.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-8655475605548032592013-01-01T05:39:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.813-07:00If You Want to Be a Freelancer, Do You Know What It Takes and How to
Get Started?<div id="article-content"> <p>If you aspire to be a freelancer, most likely you already know one or two freelance writers who are making a living in the freelance writing field. You've probably seen them at work and seen the articles that they've written. However, do you know the hard work and perseverance this freelancer has had to go through to get to where he or she is at in his or her freelance career?</p><p>A freelance writer didn't just wake up one morning and turn their writing ability into a pot of gold under the rainbow-blood, sweat and tears came into play towards guiding them to success. It's not enough to simply have the desire to work at home as a freelancer. You need to have more ingredients in order to create a recipe for success. Follow these steps and you'll be well on your way towards succeeding as a freelance writer.</p><p>One important characteristic you will need as a freelance writer is the ability to write fast, but produce high quality work. Clients want freelancers who can produce top of the line work in a short amount of time. Some of the companies, who are looking for freelance writers, need these freelancers to write copy for their clients. However, once the freelancer submits the copy, it needs to go through the editing process before it is then sent to the company's client for his or her final review. If the client doesn't accept the work, then it is sent back to the freelancer for revision.</p><p>Just imagine the length of time this could take if everyone involved lags along and doesn't move at top speed. However, if each player works with speed and precision, then the process will go along as needed. The majority of assignments for freelance writers pay a small rate, usually per word or per page. That is why freelancers usually have to write anywhere from 5000 - 15,000 words per day to actually make a living as a freelancer. Once you become more established as a freelancer, you will be able to accept higher paying freelance assignments.</p><p>Not only do freelancers need to have the ability to quickly write well-written content, they also need to have the desire to succeed at all costs. If it is your dream to be a freelance writer, then you need to dig deep inside your heart and promise yourself you will persevere and never give up. No one is going to be your biggest fan, except for you. If you don't promise yourself that you'll never give up-when the going gets tough, you'll quit. Promise yourself that you won't ever quit... you'll keep writing until you cross the threshold into success.</p><p>Success comes to those who prepare, plan and persevere. Are you that person?</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-43913911253797647782012-12-29T10:11:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.896-07:00Six Writing Traits for Success<div id="article-content"> <p><strong>Writing Traits</strong> - This article is based on an article in "Teaching That Makes Sense." Although the article was geared for teaching students, the tips that are included are great for bloggers and adult writers as well.</p><p>I am an avid blogger and write at least three posts a day. My style is rapid involves rapid communication of ideas. Because, I am such an analytical person, I find myself self censoring quite a bit. I find that rapid writing (what I call power blogging) allows me to get out my best ideas before my analytical mind shuts down the creative process.</p><p>However, there are challenges with this style because it puts me at risk of not communicating ideas succinctly or in a way where an audience will be able to easily identify what is being communicated. You may be a rapid writer or a methodical writer and there are pros and cons to each style.</p><p>The tips listed below will provide a general guideline of what you should look for in your writing and the writing of others.</p><p><strong>Ideas that are interesting and important.</strong> Ideas are the heart of the piece - what the writer is writing about and the information he or she chooses to write about it.</p><p><strong>Organization that is logical and effective.</strong> Organization refers to the order of ideas and the way the writer moves from one idea to the next.</p><p><strong>Voice that is individual and appropriate.</strong> Voice is how the writing feels to someone when they read it. Is it formal or casual? Is it friendly and inviting or reserved and standoffish? Voice is the expression of the writer's personality through words.</p><p><strong>Word Choice that is specific and memorable.</strong> Good writing uses just the right words to say just the right things.</p><p><strong>Sentence Fluency that is smooth and expressive.</strong> Fluent sentences are easy to understand and fun to read with expression.</p><p><strong>Conventions that are correct and communicative.</strong> Conventions are the ways we all agree to use punctuation, spelling, grammar, and other things that make writing consistent and easy to read.</p><p>Now like anything else, you can focus on these traits while you are planning your writing and in the review process. I would suggest reading through the traits before you start each writing session. Do not worry about committing it to memory.</p><p>You can even verbalize the traits and say something like - During this writing session, my writing will include the following traits. After a while, your subconscious mind will actually take over and start improving your writing to include these traits.</p><p>After your writing is done, when you can detach from the writing, go through and rank yourself based on each of the traits. The rankings do not need to be perfect but if you commit them to paper, you can see which areas may need more attention and which areas are improving over a period of time. This will allow for an objective evaluation of what you are writing.</p><p>Work on improving on the six writing traits that are listed and you will find that you are getting a much greater response to what you are committing to paper.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-29024170629022876882012-12-26T11:47:00.000-08:002015-07-06T05:28:18.502-07:00Breaking All of the Rules With Your Writing<div id="article-content">
This is about hanging out on the skinny branches with your writing and your writing efforts. Now, if you have spent anytime online you know that one of the best ways to get traffic is through search engine optimization.<br />
The formula is pretty simple -<br />
1. Create great content.<br />
2. Create on page optimization.<br />
3. Get links to your site.<br />
4. Support people in commenting on your site.<br />
However, this model is becoming less and less important as we move forward. The search engines are getting smarter and smarter and are picking up when people are gaming the system.<br />
All that is going to matter in the future is 1 and 4, or at least that is where I am putting my money.<br />
This article is not being typed by somebody that I paid and I have paid for a lot of articles in the past. You land on those articles and they are not only useless but they are also not real and are not created with care. This article comes from the heart.<br />
The things that I share are things that matter to me and they are completely real and come from my perspective in the moment. Now, the truth of the matter is that I have no idea if this will work or if this will be worth reading.<br />
Even if people read what I have to say, will it make a difference for them? I really do not know and am not sure. However, what I do believe is that natural expression always wins out in the end.<br />
Now, the truth is that I will not read this article after it is written and I do not even know if the ideas in this article makes sense, but I am imagining the day where I can earn a fulltime living just sharing about the things that I care about.<br />
You see, I can take other ideas and write on a keyword. However, I really do not enjoy doing and do not think that this will make a difference for me or for somebody else.<br />
Who knows, this experiment could be a complete failure but if it is not a complete failure and is a success, then life as we know it will change.<br />
All I do is pull out my laptop whenever I can and I start to rage on the keyboard. I get the sentences out as quickly as I can because there is always another one right behind that is great.<br />
Could I slow down and think through what I am doing? I guess but I have spent too much time (or should I say) wasted too much time thinking.<br />
I am not talking about the deep pondering that causes great results. I am talking about the thinking that takes in circles and back again. That stuff is not fun and really does not make a difference for people.<br />
Break all of the rules with your writing. You may fail and you may not get what you want but you will know that you brought yourself to the game and that is what really matters in the end.<br />
Please start to rage on your keyboard. We can play together.</div><p>

Everything they write is just flowing through their fingertips at the speed of light, and pure genius is born in the form of words!</p><p>Well that is not always the case when it comes to the dreaded writers block. If you're a writer that might be all to familiar to you.</p><p>Here are some tips for writing, to avoid that awful experience known as "the writer's block."</p><p>1.<strong> Let the Words Flow</strong></p><p>Writing in general, is a long process that takes a couple of hours or more just to generate ideas. Sometimes it's a good idea just to let the words flow, whether on paper or on a keyboard. The best way to do this is to get a pencil and paper, and write down whatever comes to mind.</p><p>2.<strong> Make an Outline</strong></p><p>Starting off with a plan can be helpful. Making an outline is a good way get the main ideas of your paper, such as characters, plot twist, and a general idea of what the main theme of the paper is going be (this can be very helpful for science fiction writers).</p><p>3.<strong> Research Your Favorite Book</strong></p><p>Inspiration can come at any time, even reading. Try taking notes of your favorite books and get a general idea of how it was constructed. For instance, if you're a science fiction writer, try reading your favorite Steven King novel to generate some ideas.</p><p>4.<strong> Local Library</strong></p><p>What better place to go for books then the library. You can find books on the subject you are most passionate about. Books even on the subject of writing. The library also contains a wide verity of periodicals, and research material for any writer writing on subjects like history, science. For non-fiction writers, the library is a good place to start.</p><p>5.<strong> Take a Break</strong></p><p>It's a good idea to just take a break from writing. Try another activity; take at least a 10 minutes to do something else or relax. If you have been working an hour take a break.</p><p>Remember writing takes time, concentration, and everything in between. Don't let writers block discourage you! If you have to, go outside and write about trees, write about how they look. Go with what you know, do a basic free-write. Like any profession, writing takes time and dedication.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-59910843308520343932012-12-19T02:16:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.953-07:00Tips To Faster Writing<div id="article-content"> <p>One thing to keep in mind when writing articles is that only about 10% of it is the actual content on your main points and the other 90% is filler words. So essentially in a 400 word article about 40 words are the main or essential points. The other 360 are filler words. Knowing the main points will put you at about having 90% of your article already written. The only work that generally needs to be done is to find and research your main and supporting points. Everything else will be to "fill in the gaps." Even with practice researching your topic you can be done in about 5 or 10 minutes.</p><p><strong>How Do You Research a Topic</strong></p><p>Well there are any some ways to finding a topic to write about but from my research the best way is to pull your topic and supporting points from multiple sites. You can do this by, heading to any search engine typing in an idea you want to write about, attempt to grab the first 3 or 4 results you get from your search and pull your main and supporting points from there. Once your finished, your about 90% percent finished with your research, the rest is just creating a template that you can use for future use, find 90% percent of filler words and your article is complete. The hardest part of this is getting started and disciplining yourself to write from a template as oppose to all from conscious thought. Mastering this will allow you to write an article in 5 minutes instead of spending hours trying to write your next "compelling" article.</p><p><strong>Why People Struggle To Write</strong></p><p>For most experienced and novice writers, we often hear the phrase "writers block." It's a state of mind in which we mentally block ourselves from writing because the information we want to put on paper is not there. The best way to get over writers block is to simply write. Write about anything that comes to mind even if it doesn't make sense. Why you ask? Because what will begin to happen is that you'll start to realize that as writers we can't completely depend on conscious thought alone to write. We have to use our intuition and then can we truly have the ability to write compelling articles in about half the time which will save us hours of frustration and it can produce work that we are proud of.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-13576952093959539512012-12-15T01:53:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.372-07:00When to Edit, and When to Proofread<div id="article-content"> <p>One of the biggest frustrations I hear from editors and book layout people is that authors don't understand what proofreading means.</p><p>As a simple definition, proofreading is reading an already finished and polished manuscript to look for any last errors that might have been missed when editing. If a manuscript is ready for proofreading, then the errors found should be fairly minor and probably not more than one per page, hopefully far less. Proofreading does not include editing or rewriting.</p><p>Many an editor has had an author approach him with a manuscript that is said to need proofreading but really needs editing. Editing is far more substantial than proofreading-it can involve rewriting sentences, deleting unnecessary content, writing in new content, moving around sentences, paragraphs, and even chapters, and also fixing grammatical and punctuation errors. Many editors will differentiate between copyediting, developmental editing, or other types of editing. A good editor hopefully will do all of them for you, but remember that not all editors are the same. You might find a great editor who can do a developmental edit to improve your book's content, to develop your characters or help to strengthen your plot, but he might not be so great at knowing comma rules, how to catch split infinitives, or at fixing subject-pronoun agreement issues.</p><p>Every book needs editing. If an author says a book needs proofreading, it most likely needs editing unless the author has already had someone else edit the book, and even then, only if that person is qualified as an editor.</p><p>Most editors will do a free sample edit of a few pages of a manuscript so the author can see what needs to be done in terms of editing-sentence structure, organization, grammar, and punctuation-and after the sample edit is done, the author will generally agree it is editing, not simply proofreading that needs to be done, if the editor knows what he's doing. It doesn't hurt to get a few editing samples before choosing an editor to make sure you find an editor who will give the book the full attention to detail that it needs.</p><p>After the editor finishes editing the manuscript and the author is happy with the edits, it's important to find a third party who is really good at proofreading to go through the manuscript to catch those few errors the author and editor did not catch; your editor might proofread for you, but a third set of eyes is never a bad idea. Just make sure the person is a qualified proofread-your wife or best friend are most likely not.</p><p>Once the proofreading is finished, the manuscript is done and ready for layout. Here is where "proofreading" again becomes a term that authors fail to understand and that can frustrate both the editor/proofreader and the layout person.</p><p>It's been said many times that no book is ever finished. We simply choose at some point to abandon it-which often means we believe it is ready for publication. No book that has ever been written has been perfect, and no book has ever suited everyone's tastes. You might produce a beautifully written, grammatically correct, perfectly punctuated book, but it could still have some rewriting done to make it better. The problem is, once the book is sent to the layout person, the author must restrain himself from rewriting. An author should be absolutely confident that the book is ready for publication when it is sent to the layout person. If it's not, then keep editing and proofreading. Just don't do it after the book is laid out.</p><p>Layout people do not read the books they lay out; they are not editors or proofreaders, and they will not fix your typos and other errors unless you find them and ask for them to be fixed.</p><p>The layout process includes converting the manuscript into a new program. Today, authors generally write books in Microsoft Word or some other word processing program, and editors will edit the book in the same program. But when the book goes to the layout person, the text is converted into a design file, such as InDesign, a program made specifically to design a book.</p><p>The layout person will send the proofs-the completed laid out book in pdf format (or occasionally paper)-to the author to approve. At this point, only proofreading should be done. The pdf is not the book but a copy of the book, and it cannot be edited directly. I know many editors and layout people who have been extremely frustrated with authors who decide at this point that they need to insert sentences and paragraphs, reword phrases, and flip around chapters. Once the author receives the proofs, whether as a pdf or in paper form, the author should only look for typos, and every change should be deemed absolutely necessary. Only the layout person, not the editor, can make any changes the author wants, although any changes should be run by the editor to make sure grammatical errors, of which the author might be unaware, will not be introduced into the text.</p><p>It can be very time-consuming for everyone involved if the author decides to make changes to the proofs beyond fixing a few typos; a paper printout of the laid out book must be marked up, or a separate document created in which are written down all the requested changes with page number and page placement for easy reference. The more corrections requested and more extensive they are, the more likelihood that further errors will be introduced into the book. Stylistic preferences do not count as corrections and should not be made at this point-only the correction of serious errors. In short, after the book is laid out is not the time to rewrite.</p><p>Many layout people, and especially the print-on-demand subsidy publishing houses, will charge authors for any changes they make to the book because so many authors have failed to understand that once a book is laid out, rewriting is not appropriate. Other layout people will allow a set number, such as twenty-five or fifty, corrections for free, and anything over that will be charged by the hour or by the individual correction. Some layout people will even request the author make the changes in the Word document if major rewriting is needed, and then the book will need to be laid out again, and the author will be charged accordingly since it may well be less time-consuming for the layout person to lay out the entire book again than individually have to insert a couple of hundred small changes-and again, don't forget that each correction made has the potential for introducing a new typo.</p><p>Authors, make your life easier and your layout person and editor's lives easier. Learn the difference between proofreading and editing and when one or the other is needed. When you sign off on that manuscript as finished and send it to the layout person, make sure it is as perfect as it's going to be to save everyone time, money, and frustration. Then the last stage of the book's production will go easily and the book can quickly be sent to the printer.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-9500529060445953812012-12-11T00:46:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.439-07:00How to Start Freelancing in 2012<div id="article-content"> <p>I've been Freelancing.

For years I've wanted to know to do this; I've searched through writing forums, read books, and queried, queried, queried! For a nineteen year old with no Freelance credits behind me-the path wasn't even. I've found that there are 5 necessary things for the aspiring freelance writer to do in order to secure some job offers and further build their portfolio.</p><p>Warning!

I had one or two publishing credits, but I knew this wouldn't matter and I had a resume`, but I bet that wouldn't do either. I started from scratch. I assembled a resume` listing my blogging experience, my current degree pursuit in college (Creative Writing), and an article I had published at Bookkus Publishing and a guest post. I tooted my own horn at my blog and it's audience, picked a sweet template from Google Docs (I guess Google Drive now bleh), and saved it as a.doc file ready to send it out to any one I thought would be a good fit.</p><p><b> 2. Samples of Your Work </b></p><p>This is the one step that troubled me when I first started. How can I send samples of my work if I've never written any content for a client? See the general rules of thumb for samples of your work are broad: I generally use a nice guest post I've written, or a single article on publishing I've written, or even some of my better blog posts. Granted each of these gets a fresh edit and is assembled at its finest. Granted for a themed publication, the best bet is to show work on something similar, but I've noticed that some just wish to see your ability to write. If they require a link rather than an attachment direct them to your blog or even E-zine Articles. Remember the prize is in the pudding.</p><p><b> 3. Finding the Gigs </b></p><p>Where do you find these gigs? Below I'll leave a list of places where the majority of work may be found, but remember this is a business. You may find prospective clients on the internet, at your local coffee shop, or through friends and family.</p><p>Elance (High paying jobs, but you will be competing with top notch professionals) <br/>Guru (Same as Elance. Just remember persistence is key). <br/>Text Broker (Just started using this, seems promising; haven't landed a client yet). <br/>Craigslist (Some may find it slightly sketchy, but I've landed 3 clients and one ongoing one $$) <br/>Loads and loads of others! Just Google it! <br/>Remember that if something seems odd, don't continue. This is the internet and of course, sometimes people don't have your best interest in mind.</p><p><b> 4. Research your Assignments </b></p><p>For my ongoing client I write about online slot games and occasionally I review online casinos. Now prior to this gig I had no idea about this! I can't even legally gamble! However, through loads and loads and loads of research I have become quite knowledgeable in this field and I knock out assignments with ease. To make things easier for myself I use Evernote to clip information from the web and then I refer to that throughout my writing. Trust me- this will save you tons of time and frustration!</p><p><b> 5. Stick to a Deadline </b></p><p>Remember time is money and so is each of your assignments. Upon receiving your assignments get to work! Nothing is worse than being dropped by your client because you can't stick to deadline. Of course things in life come up and a well placed email can easily ask for more time and if applicable you may just as well receive that! As of right now I have three assignments sitting in my mailbox and will get to work on them the second this post is published. Don't hesitate. Your best bet is to set a side a certain part of the day to complete your assignments- mine is in the morning after my daily walk and as I drink down my coffee. Sticking to deadline will relieve stress and assure you complete your assignments. Remember this is business.</p><p>Well here are just five tips to get you Freelancing in 2012. Depending on how this post does and how you readers like this, I will post more on freelancing.</p><p>Farewell everyone and good.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-3893147438021914122012-12-07T08:59:00.000-08:002018-03-22T07:05:47.796-07:00How To Write a Product Review<div id="article-content">
The reviews for products are a major part of internet writing, as webmasters and other internet investors are always looking to sell something. For this, product reviews are needed. In a land-based store, the client could actually see the characteristics of a product, but in the online world, the same user would want to examine the photos of the product, to read the reviews made by other people, and to compare it with other similar products. For this, the internet article writing services produce reviews for their clients, reviews that are now common even on Amazon or eBay.<br />
Internet writing for products<br />
If you want to write a good product review, you should put yourself in the shoes of the reader. What would you expect from the product? What are its advantages or disadvantages? Would you buy it? Is the price affordable? By answering those questions for you, it is also possible to answer those questions for the reader, and you will have a good article in your hands.<br />
However, the majority of article writing jobs for product reviews are requested by clients which want positive reviews about the respective products, and they want it written from the perspective of a person that have already used the product. If you don't want to cheat the reader, you can refuse the project, bout you should know that many of the reviews on the internet are made in the same way, and that the internet article writing business for product reviews is strongly developed now.<br />
You can also read the reviews made by other users of the same product. This way, you will be able to determine the positive and negative characteristics of the product. A product review that talks only with superlatives for the respective item can't be trusted, and even if a client asks for positive reviews from the article writing service, the writing company must be able to write some articles where the disadvantages of the item are presented a little, but not so much. Usually, a negative opinion must contain a "But".<br />
"It is true that this MP3 player is a little more expensive than other players on the market, BUT the characteristics of this product recommend it as a good acquisition".<br />
Good internet writing means to put the product in a favorable light, but most importantly, to present the negative aspects of a product as being good, or at least negligible.<br />
If you are looking for article writing jobs, you will have to know how to write product reviews, as an important part of the job of the article writing services is composed of reviews. We are also talking about relatively cheap articles, as those are not creative, therefore they can be written by writers with less experience.</div>

Well, while this may seem simple, there are a few important aspects. For instance, it is imperative to create quality and rich content daily. Many individuals struggle with this aspect. You should not blame someone else or come up with excuses. Instead, how about opting for an easy and effective method? Become familiar with every theme and get going. Read on to find out a simple "formula" that will allow you to write 5 articles daily minimum.</p><p></p><ol> <li>Select a topic. If you are a newbie, your article topic could be your own niche. Of course, this theme must contain potential for at least 5 articles. It is certainly a fabulous starting point.</li><br/> <li>Proceed by listing around 5 sub-themes, characteristics, sub-topics, or specific concepts that are related to that theme in particular. Below is a good example: Training a dog is a common topic. Thus, how many dog activities exist? How can you feed your dog? How can you motivate your dog to obey? What about vaccines? How to feed your dog properly'? If you feel dubious, do not panic. Look around, gather data, venture onto your library and browse online. Do not forget the original goal. Avoid distractions by any means. Stay focused and move onto the next step.</li><br/> <li>Decide on specific points that you wish to develop. You can easily expand on every theme. Yet, it is up to you! The sky is never the limit. Think ahead, prepare a fun theme and opt for the perfect approach. It is recommended to go for 5 or 7, but, it is possible to write less. Remember that rich content is a must, thus do not compromise quality. Limit the article to a single topic and do not forget to focus on your niche. Your audience will be delighted!</li><br/> <li>Once you have your mind clear, create a detailed outline for every article. Several individuals believe that this is worthless. They fail to understand how it works. They actually believe that outlines are just for kids. But, this could not be further from the truth. It is never too late to learn. Implement the best techniques! Truth is the fastest writers consider an impeccable outline. Most often, the fastest online writers are those that organize every fact and care to analyze relevant information.</li><br/> <li>Last but not least, you must connect every dot. How? This is not hard. You need to place all the points together. Make sure you focus on every sentence relationship. How is everything intertwined? Thus, as soon as you identify the main connection, move onto the next one and proceed carefully. Your goal is to show your current expertise while writing an interesting and cohesive piece explaining your original idea.</li> </ol><p></p><p>Unleash your maximum potential. Combine the above points and impress your clients. Increase your profit and get to know the latest writing techniques. If you want to climb to the top, you cannot ignore any key aspect.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-41073432080271692982012-11-29T04:15:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.383-07:00How To Write Content For Publication Online#EANF#Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-39830327714072663612012-11-26T05:44:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.887-07:00Repackage, Repurpose And Reinvent To Get The Most Mileage From Your
Content<div id="article-content"> <p>It took some time but you managed to put together the feature article for your upcoming newsletter and you're pleased with the results. It's a shame this great information will just be filed away on your computer or left to collect dust on your bookshelf with the rest of your valuable content.</p><p>Does this sound like you? Did you know that most business owners just write for their blog or newsletter and never do anything further with it?</p><p>Let's look at some ways you can <strong>repackage, repurpose and reinvent </strong>your articles, blog posts, videos and more to <strong>get the most mileage from your content producing efforts</strong>.</p><p>Here's what you can do:</p><p>1. Post your newsletter article to your blog. <br/>2. Add a link to your newest blog post from your Facebook account. <br/>3. Submit your newsletter article to the article directories. <br/>4. Combine several similar themed articles to build an information product or e-course. <br/>5. Compile articles with related topics to create an e-book. <br/>6. Compile articles with related topics to create a book. <br/>7. Record an audio or video of your article. <br/>8. Transcribe an audio or video into a special report. <br/>9. Restructure an informative or instructional email reply to a client into an article, blog post or training teleclass. <br/>10. Rework chapters of a book or e-book you have written into several shorter articles. <br/>11. Transform your e-course into a live in-person workshop. <br/>12. Record a live workshop or online training to deliver as a self-study course.</p><p>To be most effective you will have to do some editing to restructure to the new format. Otherwise, you are only limited by your imagination and creativity.</p><p>It can be challenging to constantly create brand new information but you can break down the bigger pieces or combine the smaller pieces of content you already have to develop new and valuable information. When you're coming up with ideas for articles, blog posts, videos and other content think about how you can repurpose the information from one format or method of delivery to another later.</p><p>Not only are you preventing your content from going to waste, there are other reasons <strong>why you should repackage and repurpose your content</strong>:</p><p>1. To build a source of passive income by selling the e-products that you create. <br/>2. To grow your list of prospects by offering a free giveaway to visitors to your website in exchange for them giving you their name and email address. <br/>3. To create visibility and catch the attention of your market. <br/>4. To establish your credibility and expert status. <br/>5. To reach a larger audience by providing various ways for someone to work with you, if not one-on-one. For example one client may prefer to learn independently through your self-study course while another would rather absorb the information by attending a live in-person workshop.</p><p>Choose your packaging based on your strengths and how your market likes to receive their information to create multiple products from one set of content. If you're trying to grow your business and you're at full capacity with clients, repurposing content is a great way to increase your income stream.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-59223308812563916362012-11-22T11:39:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:56.683-07:00How to Turn a Dull Article Into a Blockbuster<div id="article-content"> <p>They say the internet, being what it is, is an information superhighway. And if you want a piece of the action you're going to want to feed the search engines with information relevant to your niche so people can find you, your website, and your products. How? You'll want to go back to basics. Write! And in order to keep them on that page and reading your articles, you'll need to ensure that your articles are interesting and most importantly, readable. This article will offer tips on how to turn a dull and bland article into a more interesting piece; how to rewrite your articles with a fresh and more interesting angle; and how to research for fresh and current content to boost your search engine traffic.</p><p>Let's say you've written a bunch of articles and want to rewrite them. To begin with, check to see if your previous articles contain outdated information and topics that will not pull in traffic from the search engines at this present time. So instead of re-writing by simply doing a quick clean up job, why not go a little deeper by scouting for hot news websites like Google Hot Trends and pulling related article topics and content from there, and broadening your new piece using a content angle from these hot topics? Then, you should attempt to re-write the article (to the best of your ability) using correct grammar and spelling.</p><p>Rewriting Tips: if the previous title lacked oomph, re-title it! And then run a search on Wikipedia.org to dig up some more facts and some background. Without going too heavy on fact - this isn't an encyclopedia, it's only an article. You'll want your new article to flow well, and most importantly, have your reader come away with something. Take a look at the following example in which a badly written paragraph gets a serious rewrite.</p><p>Example of a badly written paragraph:</p><p>"Buying gemstones in wholesale need not be a headache. These precious stones have for many years been held in high esteem due to their color, clarity, symbolic meanings and durability. The diamonds, sapphires and rubies all come in many different shapes, hues and sizes. The colors too cannot miss the attention of whoever might come across them. Buying gemstones in wholesale will demand that you get high quality stones from wholesale chains at a price good enough to be lower than the retail prices. The following simple steps will assist you when buying gemstones in wholesale."</p><p>My Remarks: Everything about the above paragraph leaves much to be desired. Not only is the grammar bad - it's quite obvious English isn't the writer's first language - but to top it all off, the article lacks purpose. However, whilst looking on the bright side, I managed to pick up a few angles to run with. See how I reconstructed the paragraph below.</p><p>Example of the above paragraph rewritten:</p><p>"If you could purchase high quality gemstones at wholesale prices, wouldn't that be a relief? The less headache involved in procuring your precious stones the better, right? No-matter what you want to buy, be they diamonds, sapphire, ruby; in all shapes, sizes, colour or clarity, believe it or not, there will be someone, somewhere selling them at a much lower price than you would ever find on the high street. How? Because you can buy them on wholesale... if you know where to look! In this article, I share some simple yet powerful tips to help you buy gemstones on wholesale."</p><p>In summary: badly written articles can be quite easily given a fresh look with a new angle that is readable and that draws in the reader to want to find out more. Your first paragraph is the most important, not only because it introduces the article, but because it is intended to help lure your reader in so that they read on to the next paragraph and so forth. Look to Google Hot Trends for fresh angles that are current and weave that into your piece. So the next time you want to liven up a dull article, get creative with the pointers outlined in this article.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056836242652062046.post-17985482829984124772012-11-19T02:53:00.000-08:002014-09-17T04:03:58.585-07:00It's Not What You Write, It's the Way That You Write It - Well, I
Disagree Completely<div id="article-content"> <p>Not long ago, I had an online article author contact me, someone who had a bit of writing experience. I mean he could really turn a phrase, and it was obvious he went to writing school, was intelligent, and quite articulate. He explained to me that credibility online is extremely important, and thus, perhaps I ought to hire him to write and/or edit my work, as he had noted that my writing is not all it could or should be.</p><p>True enough, he's right, but then again I never considered myself a writer in the first place. I know that sounds funny coming from someone with over 28,000 online articles and 289 e-Books, but it's true, I know it and anyone who reads my articles - well, they know it too. I am not a first class writer, just a writer perhaps still in training. As he was explaining his knowledge of writing and public relations to me, I kept singing that song in the back of my head; "it's not what you do, it's the way that you do it," which is an HP jingle for rebranding their copier, printer, scanner, and fax line of peripherals.</p><p>Then I thought, well, what he is really saying to me is that; "it's not what you write, it's the way that you write it," but, you know what - I think I disagree and let me tell you why. You see, if you are writing on a topic you don't know anything about, sure it might be great to make the article cute, fun to read, and turn a nifty phrase, but what about the expertise, knowledge, know-how, or experience behind it? I can't tell you how many articles I read in the news each day that are shallow, uneventful, and often just plain wrong. Why does this happen? It happens because writers think that it's more important to write well, than to have great content - I disagree with that thought process.</p><p>Now then, whereas, I am not the world's best writer, I do believe I have a hell of a lot of experience and knowledge. I'd also say it is more important the content than the writing style. Yes, in a perfect world you'd have both, but I think content trumps style, thus, "it is what you write" which is important, and while it is important to write well, aka "the way that you write it," that's not the deal breaker for me as a reader. Give me the good stuff anyway you can, and develop your writing skills as you go. That's what I did, and that's what I believe. Please consider all this and think on it.</p> </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083310537389378600noreply@blogger.com0
