EzineArticles Tips and Training Snippets:



  • Stand Out: Your article must showcase your originality, or you’ll lose your expert status fast against other authors.
     

  • Lure in your audience, but do NOT mislead them. Articles fall short when they fail to meet the reader’s expectations.
     

  • Mystery leads to disappointment: Don’t be mysterious with your title and summary – tell your reader what to expect.
     

  • Your readers’ time is as precious as yours. Give them only one clear call-to-action so they know exactly what to do.
     

  • Do a little surfing of your own. Note headlines, styles and topics that attract you – integrate them into your own writing.


  • Spell-Checker is not infallible. Remember to review your articles for errors yourself or with the help of someone else.
     

  • Focus on the process of writing rather than what you’ll do with the end product. Don’t lose sight of the story.
     

  • If you get stuck in the rut, you AND your readers will get bored. Test different writing styles to keep things fresh.
     

  • Funny thing about traffic. On the road, we try to avoid it. On the Internet, we always look for more.
     

  • Looking to spread out an article’s tweet-ability? Tweet separate tips over time from the article to build more interest.
     

  • Innovation thrives in an interdisciplinary environment. Think outside of the box and adapt new ideas into your articles.
     

  • Repurposing old content CAN work. How many blog posts, presentations, Facebook notes, etc. have you written? Rework it.
     

  • It’s got, PERSONALITY! Readers relate to articles that are PASSIONATE, have a STRONG voice and deliver CONCRETE content.
     

  • Got the block? If you’re stuck staring a blank screen, step away and create an outline. Think first, then produce.
