EzineArticles Tips and Training Snippets:
  • 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.
     
  • That article's got personality! Infuse your persona into writing and you will endear yourself to readers: trust = traffic.

  • Always deliver on your promise in your title. Readers want to know the expertise you have. Don't leave 'em hanging!
     
  • Use outlines. No one gives a speech on the fly, so why write articles that way? A little prep work goes a long way!
     
  • Linking to an unrelated site in your Resource Box is like ordering a latte and the barista serving you tea instead.
     
  • Different styles work better in different niches: Professional, casual or avant-garde. Find what works best for your niche.
