Thomas, What’s your article’s tone of voice?

Hello Thomas,

This tip is about one of those topics
that you will not hear about frequently
because most people ignore them, however
it is very significant when writing.

TIP #9: Your Tone of Voice Counts!

Depending on the topic you are writing
about, even the tone of your bio should change.

For example, if your website sells toys and
children's books, your author bio should not
be formal in tone. It needs to be light and
easy going. On the other hand, if you are
writing on a topic targeted at business
owners, for example "website traffic
improvement methods" or "SEO tips to
jump start traffic," then the author bio needs
to be formal and business-like.

In this case you need to stick to facts and
your career achievements and experience
in this segment. For example, if you are talking
about motivational topics in your article such as
self improvement, alternative healing methods,
etc., your bio can also include details on how
you personally overcame these obstacles in
your life.

If it's alcoholism your articles deal with, then
your author bio may mention how you
personally overcame this problem and reached
a stage where you can now offer unbiased
advice to others.
 
We hope you have found this tip useful and
we'll be delighted to hear your feedback and
suggestions at support@articlesbase.com.

[EzineArticles]Simple Tips for Going from "Expert" to "Expert Author"

Simple Tips for Going from "Expert" to "Expert Author" EzineArticles.com Logo

You're an expert in your niche, and translating all that knowledge into articles doesn't have to be complicated, even if you're just starting out.

Here are five simple tips to transform from an Expert into an Expert Author! Tip #1 - Establish Your Goal

It may seem like common sense, but many authors forget to figure out what they're trying to say before they start writing. Outlines are useful tools for giving your article structure, but if you're not a big fan of outlining, answer the following questions before you start writing:

  • Who am I writing for? What's my ideal audience?
  • What do I want my readers to learn from this article?
  • How will I explain/prove my point?

Thomas, Little Tricks To Promote Your Name

Hello Thomas,

It's not important just to have great content.
Readers want to know whose article they are
reading, in order to make sure it's a reliable
piece of content.

TIP #8: Little Tricks to Promote Your Name


1. All About Selling Yourself
An author bio is essentially all about marketing
your specialized skills and providing readers
and clients a glimpse of yourself.

A bio will not only highlight your career
achievements, your skills and competencies,
but will also give readers an insight of your
qualities and experience. Since the bio section
has limited space, you need to make the most of
it by talking about the things that matter the
most!

2. Highlighting Your Credibility
In today's age, facts play a vital role in
convincing people. Gone are the days when
puffery and self flattery would do the trick.
In the limited space that an author bio provides,
you need to be concise while also highlighting
specific facts about your career.

State the facts exactly as they are, preferably
with dates and key milestones achieved.
This will greatly impress readers as to the
genuineness and integrity of your work.

In order to edit the author bio, log in to your
account at ArticlesBase.com with your e-mail
and password, go to Manage Authors and
Edit Info and fill the information. The default
author bio will appear at the bottom of each of
your articles, while the extended author bio will
appear on your online author profile. Please note 
that if you make any changes to your bio on your
article, your article will need to be approved once
again by our editorial team.

We hope you have found this tip useful and
we'll be delighted to hear your feedback and
suggestions at support@articlesbase.com.

For latest updates and tips, check out our blog,
Twitter stream, and Facebook fan page.

[EzineArticles Training] Article Title Guidelines

EzineArticles Logo Chalkboard
Training Series
Article Writing & Marketing - Article Title
Article Title Guidelines

Hello Training Series Member,

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.
IMPORTANT: Choose your article title wisely. Find the perfect title the 1st time because title changes aren't allowed once an article is live.

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

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

EzineArticles Logo Chalkboard
Training Series
An Introduction to Article Writing & Marketing
Article Writing: Secrets to Managing Multiple Topics

Hello Training Series Member,

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 we 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.

Thomas, Learn To Feed the Search Engines!

Hello Thomas,

Following our last tip about generating good
quality content, now I would like you to read another
important tip about article content:

TIP #7 - Article Content for Search Engines

The article content is the core element of
article marketing. Your reader is checking
your expertise on the subject, so the information
has to be accurate, professional, original and
well written. Thanks to the article's quality,
you will establish your reputation online as an
expert on the subject.

But besides the reader, search engines also
enjoy your article's content. This is a great
opportunity to place relevant keywords in
order to improve search engine indexing of
the article. It is also an opportunity to place
links to information resources (to improve
credibility) or to relevant pages on your site.
Add highly targeted keywords at the beginning
and at the end of the article. Use relevant
keywords in the title and article summary
as well.

You can edit your article's content at any time,
so you can constantly update your article.
In order to edit your article's content, enter
your account at ArticlesBase.com with your
e-mail and password, go to View/Edit Articles,
choose the article you wish to edit and click
on "edit" in the corresponding line. On the next
screen you will be able to edit the article's
content. Please note that if you make
changes to your article, it will need to be 
approved by our editorial team again.

We hope you have found this tip useful and
we'll be delighted to hear your feedback and
suggestions at support@articlesbase.com.

[EzineArticles] Avoid Common Article Writing Roadblocks

EzineArticles.com Newsletter
Avoid Common Article Writing Roadblocks EzineArticles.com Logo

Map Your Route to Success
 
Article writing is like taking a road trip - it requires thorough planning and flexibility if you don't want to be caught without a toothbrush and gas.
 
To maintain speed and enthusiasm, map out a route to ensure you do not meet any roadblocks along the way. This plan should include a little wiggle room for added flexibility so you do not trap your creativity, but you still can plan and set milestones to check your progress.
 
To help you plan your route to success and bypass roadblocks, we've collected the most common article run-ins that halt traffic along the article review highway.
 

  1. Author Names Don't Match – Your author name is your personal brand. Ensure your byline is spelled correctly and the Resource Box signature matches the byline to avoid confusion and make sure the reader can focus on the article instead of figuring out who wrote it.
     
  2. Teasers and the Article Series – Each article should always stand on its own, i.e. the reader should not have to click away to gain the full benefit of the article. Ensure the article body delivers on all aspects of the title.

Thomas, Generating Good Quality Content

Dear Thomas,

Here you will find an interesting article marketing
tip about the heart of the article: Its content.

TIP #6 - Why Generate Good Quality Content


Nowadays Internet readers search on more than
one place to find relevant content on their topic
of interest, and nobody likes to read tons of
recycled content that is so common these days.

That's why it is so important to have good quality
content in all the articles you submit. The more
original and informative your articles are, the more
they will be liked by customers.

It will also ensure that customers will be enticed to
click on the link to your site on the resource box.
This ensures more click-through and more traffic
into your website!

In addition, quality content will help enhance your
reputation as a reliable author.

[EzineArticles Training] Increase Article Production: Writing Article Sets

An Introduction to Article Writing & Marketing
Increase Article Production: Writing Article Sets

Hello Training Series Member,

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 go 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.

Thomas, Add Impact To Your Articles Using Images

Dear Thomas,

Welcome back to our series of smart article
marketing tips that will help you improve your
articles' performance.

TIP #5 - Adding Impact to Your Articles Using Images

Adding images to your articles help transmit
ideas and concepts by using graphs, charts or
pictures.

In order to add an image to an article, it must have
a URL, i.e. the image must be stored on an online
server, and not on the computer's hard disk.
Usually the image is taken from a website the
following way:

1. Right click on the image -> click on "properties"

2. Copy the whole "Address (URL):" line (inc. http...)

In order to add the image to an article, log in to your
account at ArticlesBase.com with your e-mail and
password, go to View/Edit Articles, choose the
article you wish to edit and click on "edit" in the
corresponding line.

On the next screen, place the mouse on the article's
text - where you want the picture to appear.
Make sure the "Rich Text Editor" is set to "on."

Next, click on the image button at the top of the
rich text editor (a green button that says Insert/edit
image on mouse over).

On the "image URL" field insert the address/URL
previously copied and click on "insert."
Please note: Ad banners are not allowed


We hope you have found this tip useful and
we'll be delighted to hear your feedback and
suggestions at support@articlesbase.com.

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

Training Series
An Introduction to Article Writing & Marketing
Article Publishers: What Are They Looking For?

Hello Training Series Member,

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 400-750 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.

[EzineArticles] Formal vs. Informal Writing: Who's the Audience?

Formal vs. Informal Writing:
Who's the Audience?
EzineArticles.com Logo

Before you start writing an article, one of the first things you need to ask yourself is "Who's my audience?"

Pinning down your target audience is a crucially-important step in your effort to communicate clearly.

Miss the mark by not taking a topic seriously enough and you run the risk of alienating that core audience. On the other hand, take too formal of an approach to a lighthearted topic and you'll appear rigid and unemotional.

So, you really have to know exactly what group of people you're writing the article for to ensure you communicate in the best possible way. Watch this video to discover the differences between formal and informal writing to help you gear your writing in the right direction.

Downloadable Versions:
WMV Format     MOV Format     MV4 Format     MP3 Format

Formal Writing

  • Tends to be complex and thorough
  • Takes on more serious topics in a very direct way
  • Uses longer sentences and each of the main points are introduced, elaborated on and concluded
  • Uses full words, not contractions or abbreviations
  • States the main points objectively and confidently and also offers a full support of arguments
  • Not a personal writing style, there are very few emotions included

Informal Writing

  • Tends to be more conversational
  • Uses figures of speech and slang
  • Keeps it short with contractions and abbreviations
  • Conveys a more personal, emotional tone
  • Speaks directly to the audience by using words like "you" and "your"
  • Uses shorter sentences

Think about your audience and the topic of your article. Adopt a formal style when you're taking on a more serious, objective topic. And write informally when you're comfortable and familiar with your readers.

In the end, you have to make the decision of which style of writing is best for your articles.

It's in your hands now, so go write and submit a brand new set of quality, original formal or informal articles. Then, revisit this post online to share your experiences.

My website traffic continues to grow almost exponentially month to month, and my links are at about 7,000+. And the best of all - I am showing up on page one of most of the search engines now for many of my key search words.

Even when I slow down with my writing the links just continue to grow, mainly because people are still reading the older articles even when I'm not writing new ones.

Thomas, Empower Your Articles

Dear Thomas,

This is your fourth article marketing tip from
ArticlesBase.com. During the next couple of
weeks we will be sending you tips that will boost
your article marketing performance.


TIP #4 - The Art of Writing an Article Summary

After you have "lured" the reader with an appealing
title, the summary is the second convincing stage:
This is your proof of fire to make your readers stay
and read your article until the end.

An article summary is a quick snapshot of the article,
showing the reader what to expect. It does not have
to summarize the whole article but it certainly needs
to have the most important points in terms of
benefits for the reader. It must be convincing.

The article summary is displayed mainly on the
hundreds of websites displaying ArticlesBase.com
RSS feeds. The article title and summary will bring
your reader and your article together.
 
In order to edit article summary, enter your account
at www.articlesbase.com with your e-mail and
password, go to View/Edit Articles, choose
the article you wish to edit and click on
"edit" in the corresponding line. On the next
screen you will be able to edit your article
summary. Please note that if you make any changes
to your article, it will need to be approved by our
editorial team once again.

We hope you have found this tip useful and
we'll be delighted to hear your feedback and
suggestions at support@articlesbase.com.

For latest updates and tips, check out our blog,
Twitter stream, and Facebook fan page.


To your Success,

Brett Marks

Create Your Content and Beat Writers Block: Top 7 Tips

Hello Training Series Member,

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 400-750 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 400 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 400 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 e-Books and flip into articles designed to entice your reader into wanting the complete e-Book. 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 e-Book." 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 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 400-750 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."
The next edition of the EzineArticles Training Series: An Introduction to Article Writing and Marketing will answer the question: "What Are Article Publishers Looking For"?

[EzineArticles] Creating Juicy Article Content

Creating Juicy Article Content EzineArticles.com Logo

What makes content juicy?

Just like the appetite we hold for the most succulent food, we also have a craving for succulent article content.

Of course, we all have slightly different tastes, but articles that hit "the spot" with ripe, juicy content usually have several things in common that hit the taste buds of the target audience you're reaching out to.

Recognizing juicy content is a whole lot easier than writing it. To get you on your way to writing juicy content 100% of the time, here are some ways we recognize juicy content and then some tips on how to make it happen in your own articles.

Content is juicy when ...

  • It gives the feeling you're writing a top secret diary entry - In other words, you're giving stuff that you don't share with just any person. It's special information. It's also not dry or indigestible.
     
  • You know you could be charging top dollar based on the quality of the information - At the market, the "Free, Take One" sign is rarely propped up next to the juiciest watermelons or oranges. Instead, they might put the sign up by their overripe produce. Surprise people with the quality of the article content you provide for free. They'll appreciate it and be way more likely to come back for more - whether it's free or not.
     
  • There isn't anything out there like it on the web - The special angle you take into your writing will strongly dictate how unique it ends up. Yes, being a better-than-average writer helps, but you can also repeatedly generate juicy content if you're the first/best writer in your niche to ______________________. (e.g. compare your niche to everyday life, write articles that elicit a strong emotional response, etc.) You make it one-of-a-kind by injecting yourself into the writing.
     
  • It modifies or shifts your worldview - There's a difference between providing interesting information and completely changing the way someone else approaches a topic. The article has to be insightful AND address possible counterarguments successfully.
     
  • It's evident you "get" who the audience is and the position they're in - Knowing your audience is a big deal. Without a strong connection to the audience, you hardly stand a chance to present them with the juicy stuff they are looking for and present it in the way they are most likely to receive it.

Now, an article doesn't have to have all of these things to be juicy. It's rare that an article will meet all of these points, but think about what each means and how to get your writing to that point. Then get back to writing and submitting your next article for more traffic back to your website or blog.

Sharon Hurley Hall "EzineArticles is the best site I've come across"

EzineArticles was instrumental in getting my site listed on Google. Within a week of posting my first article, I could find my site and my content has been reprinted on several sites. Article marketing works really well and EzineArticles is the best site I've come across. Whenever I have a new product to promote, I change the links in my bio and watch the traffic grow. I've even reviewed the site on my blog. Thank you, EzineArticles.

Thomas, Quick Article Marketing Tip!

Dear Thomas,

This is your third article marketing tip from
ArticlesBase.com.

Now that we have covered how to write an
appealing title and how to select the most
appropriate category for your articles, we are
ready to learn about a vital part of article
optimization: Keyword selection.

TIP #3 - Choosing Power Keywords

It is highly recommended you add relevant keywords
to each article.

Keywords are transformed in tags, and the
Tags are indexed by Google as well as the
article title and content. So if up to now an article
could be found on Google by its title/content,
now it can also be found by the tag.
Therefore, it is highly recommended you add
as many relevant keywords as possible for
each article.
 
In order to edit an article's keywords, log in to
your account at www.articlesbase.com with
your e-mail and password, go to View/Edit
Articles, choose the article you wish to edit
and click on "edit" in the corresponding line.
On the next screen you will be able to add/edit
your keywords. Please note that if you make
any changes to your article, it will need to be 
approved by our editorial team.

Mini Tip:
Remember to separate keywords using commas (,).



We hope you have found this tip useful and
we'll be delighted to hear your feedback and
suggestions at support@articlesbase.com.

For latest updates and tips, check out our blog,
Twitter stream, and Facebook fan page.



All the best,

Brett Marks

[EzineArticles Training] WYSIWYG Article Submission Editor Tips

WYSIWYG Article Submission Editor Tips

Hello Training Series Member,

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:
  1. 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.

  2. 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.
