Writing Tips

The number 1 reason why most articles don't get published (behind not following posting guidelines, which I talk about next chapter) is the article is full of spelling errors .

Just because I said you don't have to worry so much about correct grammar in your article, it doesn't mean you can slack off and not proof read and spell check your work.

Even if you don't have a spell checker program on your computer, there are plenty of free web based ones.

If you are having trouble with one or two words, why not try http://www.dictionary.com

You will also want to make sure your article flows properly and makes perfect sense. I know sometimes I write one word but mean another. Like put instead of but, etc....

You might want to print it out and read it aloud a few times, or even get a few other people to do the same.

This is also a good time to see if you've covered everything you've wanted to cover and your not leaving anything out the reader might need to know. There is nothing worse then an article that either doesn't make sense, or leaves so much information out due to the fear of giving too much away, that it's practically blank and full of fluff no one is interested in.
