Writing

When I look for articles on article directories I can’t believe how poorly they are written today, mostly due to poor spinning actually. If they aren’t written or formatted for my readers I look elsewhere. Some of the things I look for in an article I will post on my blog are:

  1. Make paragraphs and sentences short. Try using just 2 maybe 3 sentences per paragraph. A paragraph that never ends is hard to read and many just leave the article completely. Keep it short, just write more paragraphs if need be.
  2. Use Bullets and Numbers. Immediately I can see points stand out in an article if bullets and numbers are used. This means I can scan an article for what I am looking for.
  3. Don’t talk over my head. No all people are as educated as you are so dumb it down a bit, just for me.
  4. Check Spelling And Grammar. An article looks very unprofessional when it’s full of typos and grammar errors. It also makes the blogger or author appear like they don’t really care if they can’t take the time to check spelling and grammar.
  5. Create a short yet catchy title.  I reject a lot of articles today because, for some reason, authors feel the need to use a paragraph for their title with no clear keyword focus. Take the time to come up with the perfect title as it’s vital.

There are many things you can do for your blog, to make it look great but when it comes right down to it it’s the words that count the most, in the end. I don’t care how great your site looks if the content is crap.

I use article networks to find content. It used to be pretty easy before article spinners became available because authors are either to busy to care what the results are or they haven’t learned how to use a spinner correctly. Anyways the results make it tough to find a quality article today.

Personally I use The Best Spinner for all my article spinning and end up with quality content because I know it works better than over spun crap, so it’s worth my time to create good articles. So please do a better job as I need lots of content and your site could get better ranking.

I have found a place where I get articles written for just a couple of bucks. I usually get good quality because I get to specify my expectations for my article. Plus I can reject articles and the author doesn’t get paid, so they tend to work a little harder to get accepted and paid.

I not only have articles written for my niches I also write a few articles as well. I like writing articles that match my hobbies and it makes a little extra money I use to pay for articles I want.

The site is called iWriter.com and is worth checking out.
