Getting in to article writing is a highly lucrative venture to be involved with.
You can either write for yourself, or for other marketers.
You'll get better the more you write, and begin to flourish as an expert writer.
There are a few pitfalls along the way though, and you should be aware of these.
Meet them before they meet you.
Here are x things you should be aware of when writing your articles: 1.
Don't write too many words.
It's all about quality.
If you get to the point where your article is over a thousand words, long, it'll probably bore readers.
Readers have short attention spans and cannot concentrate for more than a few minutes at a time.
Therefore, you should break your content down to say 250 to 400 words for each article - as a rough rule-of-thumb.
2.
Separate you content into readable, and scan-able chunks.
If you write a 400 word article with no breaks or space, it'll probably look just like a big patch of computer code to your readers, confuse them, and send them away.
Similarly with sentences, don't make them too long; use correct punctuation.
3.
Keep an eye on your keyword count.
You'll get rejected if you write it too many times; it will be seen as a blatant attempt at promotion.
A keyword density of between 2 and 5 percent is ideal.
If you search Google for "keyword analysis tools" you should be able to find some free downloadable software that can run a check for you.
4.
Grammar is important so if you're not good with it, use a spell checker.
Most PCs or laptops come with this facility pre-installed these days, so you have no excuses!
