Article Marketing – Part 4

Posted under Article Marketing by admin

Continuing the series…

How to edit your article so it looks like you’re a professional writer.

The number 1 reason why most articles don’t get published (behind not following posting guidelines, which we will discuss in a later post) is the article is full of spelling errors.

Just because I said you don’t have to worry so much about correct grammar in your article, it doesn’t mean you can slack off and not proof read and spell check your work.  Even if you don’t have Microsoft Word, you can still download the free software suite, Open Office.  This has almost all of the same features as Microsoft Office so you should have no excuse for spelling errors.

You will also want to make sure your article flows properly and makes perfect sense. I know sometimes I write one word but mean another. Like put instead of but, etc….

You might want to print it out and read it aloud a few times, or even get a few other people to do the same.

This is also a good time to see if you’ve covered everything you’ve wanted to cover and your not leaving anything out the reader might need to know. There is nothing worse than an article that either doesn’t make sense, or leaves so much information out due to the fear of giving too much away, that it’s practically blank and full of fluff no one is interested in.

Stay tuned for installment #5.
