In fact the article, should be named “Hints for creating excellent blogs”, not only “good”. Everyone wishes to create great articles, but what they manage is to simply create good articles or bad, why not, we have to face the truth. Some online articles are really, really bad, not mentioning that some of them are created only to attract visitors, thus for the search engines, not for the readers themselves.
When you write an article, a title, when you select the tags that are you going to place at the end of your article, you have to be creative. If you are not creative, become creative right now. You have to find your style. You want to write poems on your blog or you want to describe the car crash that happened the other night on your alley? Do you want to have a journalistic style or do you like to write books or e-books? You can try them both to see if the style is suitable for you. Also, when you try to see if you are good as a journalist, you may encounter other situations, like you can be a tablod journalist, write for online or printed newspapers or you can write for a broadsheet. According to your writing style, you will decide if you can be included into one or another category.
You may discover that you have talent for both categories and not only for journalism, but for books writing as well. In this case, you can start to write a book and meanwhile, to write on your blog. The book can be sold or published on your blog. If you want to make money with your blog, you may sell the book as I said, if you simply need to fulfill a desire that you have from your childhood, which is to write a book, you may write the book only for your pleasure and your readers, that’s for sure.
Before you publish an article and the situation is even more complicated when you publish a book, you must correct the entire paper, to find grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes and other mistakes of other kind. You have to correct the paper by yourself, and if we are talking about a book that is published online, you must give the paper to other persons as well. Because you wrote the book or the article, you might have a subjective opinion about the paper and you might not see every mistake there. So, handle the book or the article to at least two other people. Make sure that they are no friends of yours, because your friends could not reveal the mistakes, thinking that they would upset you by saying this.
When you write an article, is simpler to run a software program that will show you the mistakes and that will correct them on the spot. If the Microsoft Word is not running properly, you may use other software programs to correct the article. On WordPress, in the Dashboard, there is an option very similar to the feature encountered on Microsoft Word. It is called Toggle Spellchecker. Don’t be afraid to use metaphors in your writing. Like it is said in this article as well: http://www.explorewriting.co.uk/WritingHintsCategory.html, metaphors help you express better what you feel and you can make comparisons between several terms found in your article and other terms that are not found there. Let’s see an example, the face of the girl was like the lava. You are writing about a girl with a red face. The girl is in your article, it is a character, but the lava is not in your article. Or you can write about houses and say at one point that a house is blue like the blue of the sky. In your article, you discuss about buildings, but that’s it, no skies at all. You can use a comparison like this when you “build” your own article.
If you write on your blog, you must learn how to deal with negative comments. It is wise to publish them on your blog, even if you might not like them. In this way, you will show your other readers that you care about their opinions. You could answer though to the comment in a positive way. You know that the negativism brings more negativism. Let the person that comments badly about your article to do that. He will only succeed in bringing him more negative things.
You have to be better in time. Learn from the mistakes you make. When the person that corrects your paper says that he has found a mistake in that spot or you need to learn more about the moment when you need to place a photo into the text and others, listen to them, because every comment you receive is a comment that will make you evolve.
When you write, bring something from you on the screen of your reader. The reader has to feel that you are just like him, and in fact you are, to feel that he can trust you and follow the rules about you write when writing an article or when you want to be creative. You want to know how to use Twitter, just enter the site, they will provide all the information you need. You want to be successful in your private life? Start making more friends, start getting out more often, instead of watching TV and soap-operas. Start having a life and you will be thankful for this.
What do you do before starting to write an article? What do you need, except a perfect environment and a quiet room? You need to research, to do a lot of work and to write based on what you see on those papers. I have entered yesterday a very good site, which presented info about paranormal activities. The site was extremely well-designed and the information were taken from many books and online articles, creating very good articles, filled with information. I am not saying that all the sources were delivered, so the man really knew his job. The site is not written in English, otherwise I would have given you the address, just to see how good it is. More writing hints in other articles.
