7 Article Writing Mistakes To Avoid
Article Mistake #1 Bad english
The first thing you should take note about your article is that it should not have any spelling mistakes or grammatical error. Keep the language in your article consistent, If you are writing with the first person voice (I, Me), make sure you use it through out the article and not change.
Article Mistake #2 Too much hype, bragging and self-promotion.
If you are as good as you know you are, there is no reason to fill the body of the article with hype, gratuitous links to your site or blatant self-promotion. Readers are smart and will see right through your “hype-veil.”
Article Mistake #3 Give what they wants
When you write articles, you should not write for the sake of writing. You need to write about things your readers are looking for. Do some research to find out what readers want.
Article Mistake #4 Making your article broad or superficial in content.
It’s better to go in-depth on a narrow topic. Define it. Explain it. Relate to it. Use bullet points or numbered lists. Offer a secret or expertise that you have around the topic. Be original in covering your topic as narrowly as possible in a way that has not been done by others.
Article Mistake #5 Headline and article summary does not grab readers’ attention.
The headline is often ~95% of the initial reason why someone might read your article or pass it over for another article. Don’t bore your audience out of the gate with a dull headline or worse, a boring introduction to the article. Keep it simple and make it brief. Use keyword research tools to optimize your article title.
Article Mistake #6 Copying other’s work
First of all, it is wrong to take other people’s articles and use it as your own, You can research and reference with other articles, but if you take the article word for word, you are plagiarizing. You should write your article yourself as much as possible.
Article Mistake #7 Don’t overload the resource box
Don’t abuse the resource box by including a dozen website addresses. Stick with one website URL or two at the most and you’ll find your article may find a higher distribution rate.
If you want to be really tacky, include an affiliate link in the RESOURCE BOX. A better strategy is to have a domain name registered for every affiliate program that you pitch and include the domain name that rewrites or refreshes to your affiliate link. This is much less tacky and looks more professional.
