Always be relevant!   Avoid being the ugly duckling by ensuring your articles are not spammy, keyword stuffed, spun, irrelevant or promotional.   Do not be lulled into article writing software! It spits out confusing, meaningless gibberish. Humans always win.   Get out that ol' branding iron! Your Resource Box should always have your signature. Be PROUD to own your content.   Are you an HTML hoarder? Use them sparingly to include headers and sub-headers. When in doubt, omit.   Is your writing gobbledygook or can your audience appreciate your work? Take a step back & look at the big picture.   Broaden your appeal by avoiding "university words" when you can. Most long words can be replaced by shorter, easier ones.   Great articles are informative and INFUSED with ENERGY. Use unique experiences to spice up your writing & be passionate!   Jargon Tip: Don't alienate readers with overly formal language, but maintain professionalism by eliminating slang.   Want to be a Green Author? Pledge to NEVER, ever use a Spinning program - it's cyber garbage, polluting niches everywhere!   Article repurposing is NOT article rewriting. Use your ever-expanding knowledge to bring fresh ideas to old topics.   Calling all locale-niche authors: Incorporate local history, culture, restaurants to target the locale & build trust!   Articles must deliver on their titles. If the title asks a "How To" question, be sure the answer is clearly in the article.   An article title is a promise/commitment to your readers. How are you delivering on those promises? http://is.gd/jf4C6R   An informed author becomes informed by researching topics prior to writing. Research, be informed and write!   EzineArticles Fun Facts: Need to inject some fuel into your writing?
