Article Title: Common Mistakes to Avoid

2009-01-17T19:10:00.002-05:00

Hello Charles,

Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Article Writing and Marketing: Article Title Training Series.

Every site you submit articles to may have different editorial style guides. Here are some helpful tips to help you get your EzineArticles submission accepted faster:

1. Double-check spelling and word usage in your article
title.

2. Commas are allowed, but only in the middle of a title.

3. Do not put a period at the end of your article title.

4. All colons (:) and semicolons (;), long and medium
dashes, pipes (|), and slashes (/) are to be replaced
with two short dashes (--), or changed to word
equivalents.

5. Ampersands (&) and parentheses () are allowed.

6. Quotation marks are allowed to emphasize a part of
a title, but not the entire title. Please remove quotes
around the entire article as they are superfluous and
of no benefit to the author or reader.

7. Microsoft Smart Quotes: Please remove them. They break
RSS feeds, emails, etc.

8. Never put an article number in the title of an article.

Example: [Wrong] Dog Grooming Tips-Article #3
Example: [Right] Dog Grooming Tips

Tip: The reader is most likely not privy to how
many articles you may have written on a
subject. It also creates useless title bloat.

9. Never purposefully use commonly misspelled words in
your article title to try and gain traffic from humans
who misspell words in their searches. WHY? It's
sneaky and it can ruin your credibility as an expert
author.

10. Never put a year or date in the title of an article.
This greatly reduces the "shelf-life" and marketability
of your article.

Tip: If you want to update or "freshen" up your
article, update the copyright date in your
resource box as a marker that will tell the
reader when you originally wrote the article.

Writing articles for syndication means that your content will be read for many years and decades to come. Consider that for a moment before you write your next article title.

Having a smart article title is the key to hooking more readers, but the article title is only the envelope in our article marketing campaign. What's inside your article envelope will determine if the reader is satisfied enough to begin to understand and/or trust you.

Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] Article Publishers: What Are They Looking For?

2009-01-13T10:33:00.001-05:00

Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Training Series: An Introduction to Article Writing and Marketing.

Here are the top 5 factors ezine publishers look for when deciding which articles to publish:

1. Does the article have zero self-serving links in the article body?

Loading up the body of your article with affiliate
links or other obvious self-serving links is a
liability and will keep your article from ever
seeing top results.

2. Does the article have no more than 2 self-serving links in the resource box?

Your resource box at the bottom of your article
should be short and to the point. It should
also be less than 10% of the total word count of
your article. Ezine publishers don't mind
giving you name credit and a link for sharing
your article with them, but they don't want to
look like a fool by being required to reprint
a short novel about all of your websites and
accomplishments.

3. Is the article within 250-700 words?

Readers want instant gratification from your
quality, original content. No one has the time
to really go deep when it comes to reading email
newsletters. It's proven that shorter articles
achieve a much higher distribution rate than
longer ones.

4. Does the article deliver quality, original content with numbered lists, bullet points or easy to glean information their audience would deem valuable?

Key Point: Make sure your articles are 100%
original content. Anything less is considered
an insult.

5. Is the article's author well recognized or respected within their market niche?

Ezine publishers have an ego just like you. They
want to use articles in their email newsletters
that make them look good. The more you use your
articles to help yourself gain credibility for
your unique expertise within your niche, the
greater the chances you'll find your articles
getting picked up by your ezine publishing
peers.

The next edition of the EzineArticles Training Series: An Introduction to Article Writing and Marketing will offer tips to increase your article production in less time by writing article sets.

Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] WYSIWYG Article Submission Editor Tips

2009-01-13T10:32:00.001-05:00

Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Training Series: An Introduction to Article Writing and Marketing.

Generally, most people will write their article outside of EzineArticles.com and then copy and paste the article content into the submission interface.

The EzineArticles.com What You See is What You Get (WYSIWYG)Editor can assist you in your article production.

Article Content Creation in MS Word:

* Tip: If you primarily create your article content
in MS Word, turn the editor on and click the
"Paste from Word" symbol on the tool bar. Please
remember to disable MS Word Smart-tags before you
copy and paste as they are not compatible with the
WYSIWYG editor. Now you can use the tool bar to add
font attributes and more.

Article Content Creation in a True Text Editor:

* Tip: If you primarily create your article content
in a true text editor, such as Edit Plus, Ultra
Edit, Notetab or Notepad, turn the editor on and
click the "Paste as Plain Text" symbol on the tool
bar. Now, you can simply cut and paste your article
content and use the editor tools to add font
attributes and more.

Some authors prefer to use the EzineArticles.com "Submit an Article" submission interface and type in their article content:

WYSIWYG Editor On:

* Tip: By turning on the WYSIWYG Editor, your article
content will be displayed exactly how you typed it.
You can use the tool bar to create font attributes,
bulleted or numbered lists, spell-check and more.

WYSIWYG Editor Off:

* Tip: By turning off the WYSIWYG Editor, you will
need to use only the allowable HTML tags to type in
your content. You can see how your article will be
displayed, by using the "Preview Article" feature
near the bottom of the submission interface page.

Here are some tips to help you get your article approved more quickly:

* Do not send in HTML image tags, JavaScript or
Tables in the body of your article and please make
sure the allowed HTML tags are formatted correctly.

Your word count is displayed and your article submission is auto-saved as a draft every 2 minutes.

The next edition of the EzineArticles Training Series: An Introduction to Article Writing and Marketing will give the top tips for beating writer's block.

Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] Article Resource Box Components

2009-01-13T10:30:00.001-05:00

Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Training Series: An Introduction to Article Writing and Marketing.

Your Article Resource Box is an effective tool in generating traffic to your website.

Here are some tips in creating the components of your Article Resource Box that can help you maximize this traffic.

* Your Name: You'd be amazed at how many people
forget to include their name in the Resource Box.
Your name and optional title should be the first
thing in your resource box. Make sure your readers
know that they are reading material from an
actual person, not a business or company. This
can encourage the reader to find out more about
you and the information you are providing.

* Your Website Address: Make sure your website
address is in valid URL form.
Example: http://Your-Company-Name.com/
Using the full valid URL instead of an anchor
text link will ensure that your link remains
active when a publisher re-uses your article.

* Your Pitch: Create 1 to 3 sentences that
encapsulates the essence of what make you and
your offer unique. This is also known as your
USP (Unique Selling Proposition).

* Your Call to Action: Now it's time to lead your
reader to buy from you or visit your website.
This is where you "Ask for the Sale." Typically,
only 1 specific call to action is best. This can
be as simple as "visit my website at the above
link (or include the link here)for more
information on XYZ".

Your Article Resource Box is now complete and can greatly increase the amount of traffic generated to your website.
Reap the Rewards of the Resource Box!

Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] Article HTML: How-to Tips

2009-01-13T10:29:00.001-05:00

Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Training Series: An Introduction to Article Writing and Marketing.

Generally, EzineArticles.com advocates minimal use of HTML in an article; however, sometimes it can be to your benefit.

Here are some HTML tips to get the results you are looking for:

How to Make a URL/Website Address "Linkable":

* <a href="http://www.Your-Company-Name.com/">
http://www.Your-Company-Name.com</a>
will make "http://www.Your-Company-Name.com"
a clickable link.

* Just substitute your website address into the
above code and now you know how to "link" up
a website address.

How to Create an Anchor Text Link:

* <a href="http://www.Your-Company-Name.com">
Your Website Address</a> will make
"Your Website Address" a clickable link.

* Use anchor text links sparingly when submitting
an article. Many Ezine publishers have anchor
text link limitations. At EzineArticles.com, you
are only allowed one URL in an article to any one
site. Duplicate URLs in an article body
could lead to your article being rejected.

How to Make Something Bold:

* This code Make my words bold
will make the words between the 
code "bold".

How to Make Something Italic:

* This code Make my words italic
will make the words between the 
code "italic".

How to Make Something Underlined:

* This code Make my words underlined
will make the words between the 
code "underlined".

How to Make a Bullet Point List:

* This code:
<ul>
<li>First bullet</li>
<li>Second bullet</li>
<li>Third bullet</li>
</ul>
will create a list with round bullets

How to Make a Numbered List:
* This code:
<ol>
<li>First point</li>
<li>Second point</li>
<li>Third point</li>
</ol>
will create a list with descending numbers for
each point

Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] Create Your Content and Beat Writers Block: Top 7 Tips

2009-01-13T10:27:00.001-05:00

Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Training Series: An Introduction to Article Writing and Marketing.

Here are some helpful tips to help you source content for new articles:

1. Old Ezine Articles: This includes your archives
for articles that you have sent your ezine from
the past 10+ years. If you've created multiple
articles for each email newsletter issue, we
recommend that you break your old ezine articles
into single article chunks rather than multi-
topic articles. If you have large ezine
articles from your email newsletter archive,
consider breaking them down into 250-300 word
chunks rather than 1,000-3,000 word articles.

2. Old Original Forum Posts: If you've been on the
internet for some time, there is a good chance
you belong to a few forums that you might call
yourself a "resident expert" on. All of your
old forum posts that are greater than 250 words
in length will make great new articles that you
can put into distribution to create more traffic
and sales for your business, and enhance your
credibility.

3. Old Blog Posts: The whole point of blogging,
besides posting frequently, is that you can
easily syndicate your blog for others to read
via the RSS reader of their choice. Because of
the syndication orientation of blogging, your
blog posts that read greater than 250 words make
great articles that you can slap on a longer
title, add a resource box that pitches your blog
website and put a fast 250+ articles into
immediate distribution.

4. Out of Date Books: Are you the author of a book
no longer in print? If you own the copyrights to
it, this is an excellent place to create
hundreds of quality articles with just a short
period of editing.

5. Current e-Books: Take 10%-20% of your hottest
selling ebooks and flip into articles designed
to entice your reader into wanting the complete
ebook. You still need to deliver real content
value here and not get skimpy or tease them with
"what they could learn if they bought your
ebook." Keep the articles short, with
bulleted or small numbered lists.

6. Top 10 or Top 7 Articles: Everyone likes
content they can read very fast. Why not create
top 10 lists (or any number of "Top" things)
related to your niche area of expertise. To
begin, just create a headline such as "Top 7
Leaders Strategies For Newbie Managers" and
then number the list from 1-7. Come up with a
sub-headline for each tip and then do (1)
paragraph describing the tip. You'll find these
are easy to produce and crank out 5-10 of them
per day.

7. Keyword Research: Google Suggest
(http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&complete=1)
or any keyword research tool can discover topics
that people are currently searching for that are
related to your expertise. Use this as a
springboard to launch another 25 articles that
are 250-450 words, each related to answering or
providing short tips on how to solve or get more
out of the keywords they searched for.

Example: "Yoga" when entered into Google Suggest
tells me that I should write articles about
"Yoga Journals or Journaling" and about proper
form or different types of "Yoga Poses."

Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] Increase Article Production: Writing Article Sets

2009-01-13T10:25:00.003-05:00

Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Training Series: An Introduction to Article Writing and Marketing.

Writing articles is fun, but it can be even more rewarding when you learn how to produce more in less time.

Article Sets Defined: A "set of articles" is anytime you produce 2 or more articles at a time.

Types of Article Sets:

1. Article sets by topic or sub-topic.

Example: If you were writing about racquetball
as your topic, you could make a plan to write
2 articles on racquetball nutrition, 4 articles
that goes into detail about each of the
different color of racquet balls on the market
and what they mean, and a 10-pack of articles on
forehand or backhand drills.

2. Article sets by style of writing.

Example: One style might be all bullet points,
another lists of things, another is a Q&A
approach, another might be conversational
or discussion of issues.

Note: Each type of writing is best when done in
sets of the same style.

3. Accidental article sets.

Example: Your target is to produce (2) articles
that are 400 words each. While getting started,
you get on a roll and accidentally produce a
fantastic 800 word article. Break the article in
half, give the other half a new title and you
have an instant article set...even if it was
created by accident.

4. Article sets based on customer or prospect frequently asked questions.

Example: Customers or prospects are always
asking questions. Tune into them, group them by
topic, and then hammer out some article sets
that answer each question. Using the racquetball
topic, you might have 7 questions from your
audience on how to prepare for a tournament.
Each of them makes excellent article topics.

The next edition of the EzineArticles Training Series: An Introduction to Article Writing and Marketing will offer the secrets to managing multiple topics.

Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] Article Writing: Secrets to Managing Multiple Topics

2009-01-13T10:24:00.001-05:00

Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Training Series: An Introduction to Article Writing and Marketing.

Do You Write About More Than one Topic?

You may have a main area of expertise, and then multiple sub-topic or different topics that you write articles about (some to pay the bills and others to feed their creative spirit). To avoid personal author brand erosion and solidify your expertise in front of the target niche that you write about, you must come up with a strategy to separate your various article topics.

A solution is to create multiple versions of your name or pen-names that you write under so that each one is locked in on a particular area of expertise.

Here's a fictitious name I picked out of the air to illustrate an example as to how many separate author names could be created out of a single persons name:

* Suzanne Jo Parker
* Suzanne J. Parker
* Suzanne J.P.
* Suzanne Jo P.
* Suzanne P.
* Suzi P.
* SJ Parker
* S. Parker

You get the idea. Each of these author names is STILL the same person, yet you can choose to lock each variation of the name to a separate topic to write your articles about. When using this strategy, a person reading your article may attempt to read others that you've written, but they will only see your other articles about the same topic. There will be no author brand erosion.

Example: "Suzanne J. Parker" would write articles
about Financial investing, and "Suzi Jo Parker"
would write articles about basketball.

In the offline world, this multiple author brands issue is also a factor, but it is even more important for the online world where a reader can quickly identify other articles you've written when they are hungry for more. Give them more of the same quality original articles that they are already reading, but isolate their attention by only writing about one topic of expertise under one single author name or variation of your author name. This will strengthen your message and your author brand at the same time.

As a bonus to this "authors with multiple brands" strategy, it will be easier to track your articles by each unique variation of your author name that you used, instead of finding all of your articles of every topic under one author name.

Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] Article Title Guidelines

2009-01-13T10:22:00.003-05:00

Here is the first edition of the EzineArticles.com Article Writing and Marketing: Article Title Training Series.

To help you get your article approved, here are the current EzineArticles Article Title Guidelines:

1. Your Title MUST Be In Upper and Lower Case Letters
With The First Letter of Each Major Word Capitalized.

2. The article title must not be in all CAPS.

3. It is not required that you capitalize common words
such as "a" - "the" - "to" - "for" etc, we accept these
either way.

4. We do not accept QUOTES around your entire TITLE.

5. Do NOT end your TITLE with a period.

6. Please do not submit Microsoft Word smart quotes in
your TITLE. This includes quotes, apostrophes, double
dashes, and 3 dots in a row. Replace smart quotes with
standard quotes ("x"), apostrophes, double--dashes/or
three periods (...) in a row.

7. Refrain from excessive repetitive punctuation in your
TITLE. One exclamation (!) or question mark (?) is enough
to make a point.

8. We do not allow HTML tags of any kind in your TITLE.

9. Your TITLE must begin with the first word flush to the
LEFT of the TITLE submission box.

10. We do not allow your AUTHOR NAME or any WEBSITE
URL to be in your TITLE.

11. Your TITLE must not be keyword stuffed (too many
redundant keywords used over and over again), but
rather should read as a natural language TITLE that
any human could easily appreciate. Do not over-
optimize your TITLE please.

12. We do not allow Prescription Drug names in the title
of your article.

13. We do not accept one (1) word as the article TITLE,
a MINIMUM of two unique words is required.

14. We do not accept articles that use slang terms or
profanity in the TITLE. Think child-safe or "G" rated
article titles.

The next edition of the EzineArticles.com Article Writing and Marketing: Article Title Training Series will explain the Article Title Promise concept.

Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] Article Title Promise

2009-01-13T10:22:00.001-05:00

Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Article Writing and Marketing: Article Title Training Series.

Your article title is more than just an accurate description about what the reader will find in your article body; it's a promise you make to build a trust relationship with your readership.

Ask yourself: "What does my article title promise to give to my reader?"

1. Your article title should promise to deliver your expert
information on a specific topic. It should build interest
or motivation.

2. Within 2-5 seconds of anyone reading your article,
they should be able to clearly see the answer to the
promise you made in your article title.

3. Do not bait or trick your reader into being forced to
visit your website to see the answer to the promise
you made in your article title. This is a credibility
and trust violation.

4. If you have a very short article title, be certain that
your article body includes the most socially acceptable
or expected solution or information that any
reasonable person would expect from a short title.
Better yet, don't use very short article titles. Instead,
make them longer and more descriptive.

Ask yourself: "Does my article body deliver on the promise made in my article title?"

When you can answer that question with an absolute "YES!", you know you have the makings of an excellent article.

The next edition of the EzineArticles.com Article Writing and Marketing: Article Title Training Series will explain the Article Title Question concept.

Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] Article Title Questions

2009-01-13T10:21:00.001-05:00

Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Article Writing and Marketing: Article Title Training Series.

Ask yourself: "Does my article title entice the reader to ask a question?"

E.g. "Why?," "How?," "Who?," "Where?," "When?," etc.

1. After reading your article title, a question should
appear in the reader's mind. Your article body is
where you deliver the answer to that question.

2. This is a powerful concept because you have just
engaged the mind of your reader, moving them from a
passive to an active state. In the active state, your
reader is more likely to find value in your content and
thus visit your website.

3. Never underestimate the power of "How To" article
titles. There is clearly a huge demand for articles that
answer common problems in an easy-to-read "How To"
format.

4. Don't be afraid to offer your readers more questions
they should ask themselves when evaluating the topic
of your article. Questions become highly relevant
answers to your readers because your questions act
like a personal coaching session.

5. Avoid the shocking question that forces you to stretch
the truth to answer the question in your article body.
Instead, be creative and interesting with your article
title question.

The next edition of the EzineArticles.com Article Writing and Marketing: Article Title Training Series will offer tips to narrow your article title's focus.

Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] Article Title: Narrow The Focus

2009-01-13T10:20:00.003-05:00

Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Article Writing and Marketing: Article Title Training Series.

Ask yourself: "Did I bite off more than I can deliver in my article title?"

I.e., should I narrow my topic further?

1. Your article title should be specific, to the point, and
completely deliverable. If you are struggling with
delivering all the information promised in your article
title, consider splitting your topic into 2-3 separate
articles.

2. Acid Test your article title: Will your readers feel
satisfied and have their expectations met by your
article body content after reading your article title?

3. In terms of content supply and market demand for
information, it is true that there is a huge demand for
information on broad topics, but that comes with a
huge supply of content to meet the huge demand.
I.e. Your article can get lost in the shuffle.

4. You may find a market advantage by answering the
long-tail demand of a niche topic by looking at the
more specific, narrowly defined questions your market
is asking for you to answer.

To do: Study the concept of the "long tail".
* You can find the long tail on any topic by doing keyword or keyphrase research with any major keyword discovery tool.

Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] Article Title:No Sales Pitch Please

2009-01-13T10:20:00.001-05:00

Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Article Writing and Marketing: Article Title Training Series.

Ask yourself: "Does my article title attempt to sell something other than information?"

1. Your article title should never be a sales pitch for your
website, your product, your company or even you. Your
expertise in the delivery of information on your topic
will "sell" you to the reader. Save the sales pitch for
your Resource Box.

2. The Article Body is where you GIVE; The Resource Box
is where you TAKE. Thou shall never TAKE in the
Article Title.

3. Your objective is to create a relationship of trust and
credibility with your readership. You will not get the
opportunity to sell to your reader until they know, like
and trust you.

4. In your article title, you are trying to sell your reader
on the benefits they will receive if they continue
reading your article. Put your creative sales focus on
selling your reader the benefits of the information in
your article, not your business.

The next edition of the EzineArticles.com Article Writing and Marketing: Article Title Training Series offers suggestions for proper Article Title Length.

Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] Article Title: Length and Brevity Suggestions

2009-01-13T10:19:00.001-05:00

Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Article Writing and Marketing: Article Title Training Series.

Ask yourself: "Is my article title long enough?"

1. Consider expanding your article title by forty percent
(40%). Evidence suggests that longer article titles
produce more views per article vs. short article titles.

2. Longer article titles can also increase your reprint rate
and value. The narrower the focus, the more
specialized the reprint website and the more qualified
the visitor/reader. This results in a greater referral rate
of traffic to your website.

Tip: For EzineArticles.com, your article title can be up to
100 characters long. Make your article title just a little
longer than what might feel comfortable and you will often see
a higher return from your article in terms of how much traffic
it can attract for you.

3. A good article title length is greater than 70 characters
but less than 100 characters.

Also, Ask yourself: "Does my article title use clear and concise wording?"

1. Get to the point. Do not use exclamatory wording like
"You Don't Want to Miss This" or "This is a Must Read"
in your article title to induce urgency. It usually just
induces annoyance. If your article is good, you don't
need it in your title. Focus on the article topic.

2. Rambling on and on in your article title shows a lack
of respect for your readers time. Most people make the
mistake of spending 99% of their time on the article
body and 1% on the article title. Instead, put 20% of
your time on the article title and 80% on the article
body.

3. Don't use slang. It will often backfire, especially if your
English-speaking reader did not grow up in your same
country or with your same life references. Be direct
and be sensitive to cultural misunderstandings when
choosing your article title.

4. Brevity is golden. Start with a long article title with
multiple hooks into your key topic and then continue
to ask yourself how you could tighten up the article
title without sacrificing your intended article title
promise.

[ChristianWritersCanada_Newsletter] Verse of the Day E-Mail Tool

2009-01-11T11:26:00.001-05:00

I started up a Christian ministry as a hobby about a decade ago. The
Lord has been faithful, it is starting to grow.

As part of my ministry I run a verse of the day e-mail list.
http://verse.actsministries.org I am wondering if there are already
structures in place which I could to help promote this. I don't have
much money to put into advertising right now; But have been amazed at
how the Lord comes and changes lives through the material on the web
site. Do any of you have suggestions which could help me?

Bibles for Missions success story.

2009-01-08T22:00:00.003-05:00

Bibles for Missions

What started as a mustard seed ideal some 20 years ago evolved into a
highly successful venture of good will.

All came about when communism tried to eliminate Christianity in
1990/91. But when communism collapsed the Christian world switched
gears from praying for lost souls to reaching out to them.
When Ben and Hennie De Regt, Abbotsford, BC residents, heard about the
dire need for Bibles they setup their first Bibles for Missions, (BFM)
Thrift Store in their hometown.

Ben phoned the Canadian Bible League and made a deal that all monies
were to go for Bible publishing and distribution overseas.

The De Regt's initial intent was to raise money for Bibles but soon
they learned of the many other needs connected to Missions overseas.
The two start scouting about and soon more BFM Thrift Stores sprung to
life. The couple's humble beginnings from so long ago mushroomed into
38 stores operating in Canada today, with 13 in the U.S called BFM
Thrift Centers, another 4 in New Zealand and 10 in Australia called
BFM Op-Shops. Another six are scheduled to open early this year.

This lowly Bible adventure spread far beyond providing Bibles only.
Store proceeds today publish and distribute millions of Bibles and
cover the cost of Bible interpretations in 450 languages. It also
provides materials for illiteracy and evangelistic programs needed to
start planting new churches on world wide basis.
The Bible Leagues vision for 2020 is to train 10 million nationals and
engage 100 millionpeople in the study of God's Word through education
and Bible studies. The 38 BFM's in Canada alone sent a near
$30,000,000 to the Bible League by by year ending 2008.
