How To Outgrow 'write What You Know' Every writer has heard it time and again, and it’s not without merit: “Write what you know.”When I began freelancing, I was just out of college, so what did I write about? College. I wrote profiles of collegiate entrepreneurs, I wrote editorials about college life... and after a while, I really wanted to move on and write about other things. But I didn’t feel qualified.Luckily, I didn’t let that hold me back for too long.“Write what you know” is a very good starting point. But that’s all it is. It’s a place for you to go to get your feet wet, and a place to come back to when the tide gets too high. But it’s not a place to stay for very long.A better piece of advice, in my opinion, ...

If The Viewpoint Character Is A Secondary Character, Have You Established Who He Is? Creative Writing Tips –I have said above that if a secondary character tells the story of the main character, then the spotlight should be kept on the main character. This shouldn’t be taken to the extreme though. In other words, you don’t just write the story of the main character without telling your readers a bit about your secondary character.Unless the reader understands the reason a secondary character is telling the story, it will seem peculiar that the main character isn’t telling it himself. It is, after all, the main character’s story. So, the following have to be answered… Who is this secondary character? Why is he telling the story instead of the mai...

Incredibly Bad Articles Will Kill Your Credibility I've noticed a disturbing trend recently of articles suggesting that people write articles to send traffic to their websites, and enhance their credibility. In theory, the more articles you write, the more traffic you'll receive, the more credibility you'll have, the more sales you'll make.It's an interesting theory. However, what those articles fail to mention is that your writing needs to be of a certain quality. And quite frankly, I'm seeing a proliferation of poorly w...

Is It Worth Hiring A Professional Copywriter? "Article writers wanted: I will pay $3.50 per article. Must be quality writing – no hobbyists!"No, this isn't a joke. It's an actual job advert, posted on a website earlier this year. What’s more, there's nothing particularly unusual about this advert. It seems that more and more often these days, people expect writers to work for free – or as close to free as it's possible to get.So what's the catch? Well, professional copywriters won't write for $3.50, which means that the only people who'll respond to an advert like this will be very people the employer says he doesn't want – hobbyists.But what's wrong with that? Why not go with a hobbyist – a non-professional writer? What can a professional copywriter give you that an amateur can't? Here's what:1. TimeLet's think for a minu...

Is Someone Plagiarizing Your Work? About two weeks ago I received an article submission that immediately attracted my attention. The title was identical to the title of an article I wrote and which was published in 'WebProNews' in May 1999. "Probably just a coincidence", I thought to myself, and kept reading. But the first paragraph stopped me in my tracks. It was quite clearly plagiarized from my article. As I kept reading I recognized sentence ...

Nobody Likes A Rambler We all know people who ramble. They include every boring and insignificant detail, speak in five-minute-long sentences and take forever to get to the point. When they finally reach the end of their story, most people have either walked away or lost interest.If you were reading their words, would you read right to the end? Or would you find something more informative, less boring and shorter to read?We all have a tendency to ramble. It's natural.

Seo Article Writing 101 SEO writing is very different from content writing, article writing, story writing and news writing. When I first realized my innate talent for writing stuff and putting thoughts into words, I was still reading Mills and Boons, and it was during this time that my romance storybooks were confiscated by my classroom teacher because I was reading in class. Writing is a very personal thing, I discovered. Some people have the talent for writing creative stuff. Some people have the talent for writing ads. Some write excellent factual stuff. Well, I fall into the factual stuff category. The boring-writing-technical-mumbo-jumbo writing stuff. How I fit into thi...

Speak And Touch The Heart Presentations and seminars become all too familiar in the business world. Jim Speaker is there with the overhead projector and PowerPoint slides-each with four of five points. Hours later the seminar is over. Seminars are informative but can be deadly.
