Be Yourself when writing articles.

You do not have to be a Rhodes scholar to write articles now days. You only need basic English, grammar, spelling and punctuation. Did you know most Internet readers read at the 8th grade level….yea this is an amazing statistic. If you don’t believe me just Google “reading level of American audience” and you will see a list of websites that make my point.

The most important part about writing is the same as public speaking. Be yourself…just write as if you were speaking to me directly. Try to add some humor in your writing and don’t just write crap. Write what your website or blog is about be passionate and above all have fun writing.

Writing articles can sometimes be a bit intimidating. All kinds of questions can creep up in your mind. What if nobody likes them? It’s embarrassing if someone reads my writing?

Here are a few tips that have helped my own writing: Good Content Websites

Write your article then leave for a couple of hours. Come back and re-read again. You will probably find mistakes or make corrections.
Use a spell-checker or Google “Spell Checkers”. Or ask a friend with good writing skills to read your article before publishing it.
Do your best to develop your own style…don’t try to be “Ernest Hemingway”.
Don’t be afraid about what others might say. The more you practice writing the better you’ll get.
The subject matter should always be what you are passionate about.

Now days it is a lot easier to write articles. And if you are seeking ways promote your website or blog this is by far the easiest way to get started. It only cost your time but require no money.

Before Al Gore invented the Internet writers would use a typewriter to publish articles or books. They would feverishly type the subject matter and clank away. If they needed to start over or didn’t like the page they would simply turn the roller and zip out the paper, crunch it up and shoot the wad of paper into the nearby trash can.

Now days you just turn the computer on and use your favorite editor and type away. If the article page isn’t to your liking you can hit the delete key or re-edit over and over until it is just right. Man I love technology don’t you?

Take a writing course at your nearby community college or do some research for “Tips on how to write”. There are thousands of tutorial type website to help with your writing skills. It is best if you write something everyday, the more you write about your subject matter the better your writing skills will improve.

There are no excuses for not writing articles. Always write about your passion your knowledge and what you want to convey to your visitors, customers, friends and colleagues. Always write naturally and above all be yourself.
