EzineArticles Tips and Training Snippets:
Readers shouldn't be "none-the-wiser" after your article. Put yourself in reader's shoes: Do you take away quality info?

Is your article a jungle? Keep paragraphs between 3-5 sentences to ensure your readers can navigate through w/o a machete.

No ifs, ands or BUTTS? Use "butt" and "but" wisely. Spare yourself from being the butt of a joke, but humor is welcome. :)

Would you go to a theater if the projector was broken? Ensure links & videos on your page work before sending readers.

Sugar & spice & everything nice, that's what great articles are made of! Variety creates uniqueness. What's in your recipe?

A comedian crashing a funeral is a faux pas. Approach your audience with the right tone & content by targeting them.

Quality Stick: Can your audience get the same info from other sources? Don't re-use heavily saturated content. Think new!

The authority of an article on diseases is questionable when the Resource Box states "SEO Services." Be relevant!

Always, ALWAYS Proofread: "The gadget offers 3 potions (options)." "I new (knew) Tom." "Your pail (pale) skin."

Sign It and Put a Stamp on It: Enhance your credibility & build your brand by signing EVERY article w/ your name & a CTA.

Develop Solid Contacts: Networking with other authors can encourage guidance, support and cultivate experience.

Articles are great gifts for the curious mind! Avoid regifting to your readers by providing unique content & a fresh link!

Walk a mile in your readers' shoes: Plan around your audience. Knowing your target is the key to providing quality content.

Just like your accessories & dress, the content in your resource box and links should coordinate with the article.

A budding rose can't grow w/o water. Be sure to 'water' your articles with the nourishment readers need: relevant info.

You wouldn't hang two identical paintings side-by-side. Your landing page content must relate, not duplicate.

"He shoots, he scores!" Make your article writing a success by setting goals. Success comes from planning!

Don't trap readers in an old, dusty attic. Clear the cobwebs in your article by 'sweeping' over the content ... PROOFREAD!
