[EzineArticles]Simple Tips for Going from "Expert" to "Expert Author"

Simple Tips for Going from "Expert" to "Expert Author" You're an expert in your niche, and translating all that knowledge into articles doesn't have to be complicated, even if you're just starting out. Here are five simple tips to transform from an Expert into an Expert Author! Tip #1 - Establish Your Goal It may seem like common sense, but many authors forget to figure out what they're trying to say before they start writing. Outlines are useful tools for giving your article structure, but if you're not a big fan of outlining, answer the following questions before you start writing: Who am I writing for? What's my ideal audience? What do I want my readers to learn from this article? How will I explain/prove my point?

[EzineArticles] Avoid Common Article Writing Roadblocks

Avoid Common Article Writing Roadblocks Map Your Route to Success   Article writing is like taking a road trip - it requires thorough planning and flexibility if you don’t want to be caught without a toothbrush and gas.   To maintain speed and enthusiasm, map out a route to ensure you do not meet any roadblocks along the way. This plan should include a little wiggle room for added flexibility so you do not trap your creativity, but you still can plan and set milestones to check your progress.   To help you plan your route to success and bypass roadblocks, we’ve collected the most common article run-ins that halt traffic along the article review highway.   Author Names Don’t Match – Your author name is your personal brand. Ensure your byline is spelled correctly and the Resource Box signature matches the byline to avoid confusion and make sure the reader can focus on the article instead of figuring out who wrote it.   Teasers and the Article Series – Each article should always stand on its own, i.e. the reader should not have to click away to gain the full benefit of the article. Ensure the article body delivers on all aspects of the title.

[EzineArticles] Formal vs. Informal Writing: Who's the Audience?

Formal vs. Informal Writing: Who's the Audience? Before you start writing an article, one of the first things you need to ask yourself is "Who's my audience?" Pinning down your target audience is a crucially-important step in your effort to communicate clearly. Miss the mark by not taking a topic seriously enough and you run the risk of alienating that core audience. On the other hand, take too formal of an approach to a lighthearted topic and you'll appear rigid and unemotional. So, you really have to know exactly what group of people you're writing the article for to ensure you communicate in the best possible way. Watch this video to discover the differences between formal and informal writing to help you gear your writing in the right direction. Downloadable Versions:                 Formal Writing Tends to be complex and thorough Takes on more serious topics in a very direct way Uses longer sentences and each of the main points are introduced, elaborated on and concluded Uses full words, not contractions or abbreviations States the main points objectively and confidently and also offers a full support of arguments Not a personal writing style, there are very few emotions included Informal Writing Tends to be more conversational Uses figures of speech and slang Keeps it short with contractions and abbreviations Conveys a more personal, emotional tone Speaks directly to the audience by using words like "you" and "your" Uses shorter sentences Think about your audience and the topic of your article. Adopt a formal style when you're taking on a more serious, objective topic. And write informally when you're comfortable and familiar with your readers. In the end, you have to make the decision of which style of writing is best for your articles. It's in your hands now, so go write and submit a brand new set of quality, original formal or informal articles. Then, revisit this post online to share your experiences.

[EzineArticles] Creating Juicy Article Content

Creating Juicy Article Content What makes content juicy? Just like the appetite we hold for the most succulent food, we also have a craving for succulent article content. Of course, we all have slightly different tastes, but articles that hit "the spot" with ripe, juicy content usually have several things in common that hit the taste buds of the target audience you're reaching out to. Recognizing juicy content is a whole lot easier than writing it. To get you on your way to writing juicy content 100% of the time, here are some ways we recognize juicy content and then some tips on how to make it happen in your own articles. Content is juicy when ... It gives the feeling you're writing a top secret diary entry - In other words, you're giving stuff that you don't share with just any person. It's special information. It's also not dry or indigestible.   You know you could be charging top dollar based on the quality of the information - At the market, the "Free, Take One" sign is rarely propped up next to the juiciest watermelons or oranges. Instead, they might put the sign up by their overripe produce. Surprise people with the quality of the article content you provide for free. They'll appreciate it and be way more likely to come back for more - whether it's free or not.   There isn't anything out there like it on the web - The special angle you take into your writing will strongly dictate how unique it ends up. Yes, being a better-than-average writer helps, but you can also repeatedly generate juicy content if you're the first/best writer in your niche to ______________________. (e.g. compare your niche to everyday life, write articles that elicit a strong emotional response, etc.) You make it one-of-a-kind by injecting yourself into the writing.   It modifies or shifts your worldview - There's a difference between providing interesting information and completely changing the way someone else approaches a topic. The article has to be insightful AND address possible counterarguments successfully.   It's evident you "get" who the audience is and the position they're in - Knowing your audience is a big deal. Without a strong connection to the audience, you hardly stand a chance to present them with the juicy stuff they are looking for and present it in the way they are most likely to receive it. Now, an article doesn't have to have all of these things to be juicy. It's rare that an article will meet all of these points, but think about what each means and how to get your writing to that point. Then get back to writing and submitting your next article for more traffic back to your website or blog. To Your Article Writing Success & Passion!
