proof reading.

When you have finished writing your article make sure that

you proof read it at least twice, then set it aside for a day

or two, so that you can go over it again when you are in a

different frame of mind. That way you can view it as though

you were the reader and this can help you to get a better

prospective.

If you would like a second opinion ask a family or friend to

read through it and see if they suggest any changes. There are

also services that will proof read your articles for you.

Try doing a search for "article proofreading service" and

you will find several.

Remember, if you have any questions I will be glad to help.


So you have finished your article, now it's time to make

the most out of it.

You don't want to waste all of your hard work by just

submitting it to one directory. You will want to submit

it to as many directories as possible.

You can do this yourself or you can spend a few dollars on

an article submission service or software that will submit

your article to multiple directories at the same time.

By submitting to more than one directory you can get better

results from your article, because it will be seen by many

more readers.


Let's talk about spell checking software.

After you run your spell checking software, it is a good idea

to go back and reread your article again.

Unfortunately your spell checker is not perfect and can lead

to unexpected errors. For example, the words "form" and "from"

are both legitimate words. But if you wrote an article that

said, "Take fifty FORM your advertising budget and use it

to place an ad" your spell check wouldn't see anything wrong.

It doesn't know that you meant "take fifty FROM your

advertising budget and use it to place an ad". Spell checkers

are convenient, but they are not always perfect. That is why

it is important to read through your article at least once

after you spell check it.

I hope your article writing is progressing nicely.


Let's talk about using articles to promote your business.

Writing articles to promote your product or service is a

great way to increase your sales. When you are writing to

promote something you must first ask yourself several

questions, so you don't write an article and then have

to figure out how you can relate it to your business.

Determine what you want to promote. How you want to promote

it and then you can begin to write your article.

The basics in writing the article are much the same, no matter

how you plan to use it. It should be written to present the

positive attributes of your product or service without being

obvious or making it sound like a sales pitch.

Remember readers are looking for information because they want

to learn something. If you provide them with good information

they will be more likely to click on your link and see what

else you have to offer.

I hope you found that tip helpful and don't forget if you

have any questions let me know.

Have a great day,
