‘You talk about guidelines, companies and humor, and give NO examples of any of them. No. Not interested in your style of writing.’
‘You are telling and offer no showing - no details. This is common sense without any resources or specifics. No.’
If you have ever received any of the above messages as the Status of your article entries, or you’ve always wondered why your articles refuse to earn you commendation, not to talk of CASH IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, then you need to pay optimum attention to this post.
After reviewing articles submitted by writers for THE ARTICLE WRITING ASSIGNMENT A02, some writers received some of the mail messages reproduced above.
The Big Question is ‘Why’?
No time would be lost henceforth as we delve right away into the real reasons.
Hence this post seeks to enlighten writers of all categories ,hold them by the hand and show them what exactly we see in your articles that keeps us coming for your articles from some writers, and what turns us away from others.
Note that these tips would help you a great deal in the Currently-Ongoing Article WRITING ASSIGNMENT A03.
Let’s Call Them the DON’Ts of Effective Article Writing;
1. DON’T JUST WRITE ‘COMMON SENSE’ OR FLUFFY WORDS CRAMPED TOGETHER:
Well, I guess we all know a good article when we see one, and so also the not-too-good one.
If you want to earn money writing for us, don’t just put together WHAT YOU THINK might address the problem you are planning to solve.
You need to get on the Web, Research your content, GET USEFUL LINKS, RESOURCES AND WEBSITES to help your readers get started and solve the problems you set out to solve.
Don’t leave your readers more confused than you met them!
SUMMARY: TO GET MORE OF YOUR ARTICLES APPROVED,WRITE GOOD AND WELL-RESEARCHED CONTENT.
2. DON’T PLAY WITH WORDS:
You’ll be doing your entries a lot of harm than good when, in a bid to increase the Word Count, you ‘patch up’ your articles with needless and unnecessary words. This won’t really help your articles. Don’t attempt it.
We prefer inspiring, helpful, interesting and sweet-to-the point articles, which also satisfy the Word count Range specified.
SUMMARY:IF YOU REALLY WANT TO CHECK WHETHER YOUR ARTICLES WOULD DO WELL WITH US,TRY MAKING USE OF THE TIPS,HINTS AND RESOURCES YOU HIGHLIGHTED IN YOUR ARTICLES.IMAGINE IF YOU READ YOUR ARTICLE SOMEWHERE ONLINE,WHAT WOULD BE YOUR COMMENT AS REGARDS THE ARTICLE?WOULD YOU RARELY COMMEND THE WRITER OR JUST BY-PASS IT AS ONE OF ‘THOSE’?
3. DON’T PLAY WITH ERRORS:
Writers, from experience, just submit articles and expect us to correct the errors we think are inherent in such articles, and then expect to get paid.
No, it doesn’t work that way.
If you wish to get paid, we think you need to show good commitment on your part.
Make sure you check your articles for all kinds of Grammatical, Typographical errors, issues regarding paragraphs and indexing, and all other types’ .I tell you, if you check painstakingly to avoid these, it’s really worth it!
SUMMARY: PRESENCE OF ERRORS WOULD ONLY MAR YOUR ARTICLES, NOT MAKE THEM!
4. DON’T TRY TO ‘DODGE’ THE RULES:
In a bid to get started fast as soon as possible, prospective writers often ignore the important details quoted in the Writing guidelines and go ahead to submit what they think it’s nice, and then be standing by to get paid.
Every rule put in place has a very important role to play in the overall success of your article.
Some of such are;
*DEADLINE
*MODE OF SUBMISSION, USING THE RIGHT EMAIL ADDRESS AND SUBJECT LINE OF YOUR EMAIL
*INCLUDING A BRIEF BIO : This is as important as the article itself. It helps the first-time reader to want to know more. So, you’ve really got to keep your readers thirsty for more once they read your bio.
*ARTICLE TITLE: Also, this is where your Article Headline comes in. Use captivating and attracting headlines.
Now, I want you to be the judge.
Which one of these headlines would you like to read its contents?
‘HOW TO USE GREETING CARDS TO BOOST YOUR BUSINESS SALES’ and
‘5 Killer Steps on How to Dramatically Shoot Up Your Business’ Profits Using The Power Of Greeting Cards!’
Now, I bet you know the answer already, at least 9 of every 10 readers would go for the Second title. I guess you know why-It practically forces them to read whatever content the writer has to offer.
It’s that straightforward!
*SUBMITTING ONLY ORIGINAL UNPUBLISHED ARTICLES: In fact, we never compromise this at any point. Except where SPECIFICALLY stated, All articles you submit must be original articles, never published anywhere before.
