Two lumpy paragraphs is like eating frozen fruitcake. Break up paragraphs, throw in headers and it'll be mouth-watering.

"Best of" lists are everywhere this time of year. Why not write an article w/ your thoughts of the "best of" your niche?

Write an article readers cannot resist! Plain articles are easily passed up - write something NEW and inspiring.

You'll be amazed at how many little mistakes you'll catch if you read your article aloud before you submit it. Get vocal!

Create great articles by asking questions. Fresh questions build discussion. Start asking questions to stimulate thought.
