Submitting your quality written, and keyword rich articles is certainly your first step to achieving your personal or business related goals. However, many authors wonder why their articles are not being picked up by publishers and webmasters to be placed on their theme related websites, and if you’re willing to follow a few simple steps, you will be on your way to having a successful article writing campaign that will appeal to publishers, webmasters, and also your online readers.
The truth of the matter is, that many publishers and webmasters are looking for fresh, well-crafted content to place on their site that offers their readers valuable information and tips, but they don’t like to accept articles for their sites that show obvious signs of self-promotion of your own business, products, or services. Selling your business in your article is just going to drive people away, and they will move on to the next article that will help them answer the questions they’re seeking.
Tip #1: When readers search for a specific topic of interest, they’re searching for information that answers specific questions they may have at the time. If you’re not exactly sure how to format your article to flow with all the necessary information, just remember that when you start writing your articles, consider formatting your articles with the focus on the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and WHY. When you start to develop your articles in this format, you will definitely make it easier to write your articles on specific topics that will flow naturally.
Tip #2: If you’re writing about a specific topic that can help your readers, provide a brief introduction of what you’re about to talk about. This way if the reader is interested in what you have to say, they will know what direction you’re going in on your specific topic. In the body of your articles, have the key information that your topic is talking about with many features followed by the benefits.
The best way to achieve this is to talk first about the feature of your topic, product, or services briefly, and then follow right below your feature, a detailed benefit (make sure you focus and write more on the benefit). At the bottom of you article, always end it with a brief conclusion. Never stop writing without having an ending. Readers will be wondering if they received the entire article, or if you’re missing some information. Remember, most if not everyone likes an ending.
Tip #3: In the body of your article, make emphasis on your features and benefits that you’re talking about by adding “bullets” and also “highlighting” the important features and benefits. This does several things to your article, it allows your readers to quickly find the important information in your article, and if they happen to not want to read the entire article from top to bottom, they may opt to go directly to the information that they want, and you make it much easier for them to find it with bulleting, and highlights!
Tip #4: If possible, when writing about a unique topic, you will add more impact and credibility to your content when you offer your readers important resources to back up your claim. You can provide a few legitimate testimonials, a list of awards that were achieved, or anything else you feel will back up what you’re talking about. This is a great way to provide your readers solid proof you’re the authority on this topic, and you have value for them to obtain from your information.
Tip #5: The biggest mistake many new authors make when writing their articles for ezine directories to be picked up for distribution is creating a really weak “Author Bio”! You spend all your time and effort creating the perfect article to be submitted to the ezine directories, and many ezine publishers and webmasters start picking up your article and adding them to their emails and sites. However, if your author bio at the end of your article doesn’t have impact, it will not motivate the reader to click through to either read more, or get additional information on what you are truly offering.
Make sure you spend as much time in creating the best author bio as you do when you start writing your article. Make sure that you let your readers know who you are, and that you are the expert on this topic, and if you’re talking about several products or services, in your author bio, if you’re allowed a maximum of 3 hyperlinks to your site, blog, or email, also make sure that you take advantage of this option, and add your maximum allowable links for your readers to click through and continue their journey to specific information they’re interested in reading.
These tips are only a guideline to your article writing success, and if you take some of the information I provide and use it that best fits your writing style, I feel that you will be on your way to being a great Web Author, and many of your well written articles will be picked up by publishers and webmasters hungry for freshly written content that offers a quality message to their readers.

Writing classified ads are a great way of promoting your website products and services. Not only are you advertising, marketing and promoting your wares online, with some classified ad type of website, you can also benefit by generating more traffic and backlinks to your website.
Writing a classified ad is not rocket science and some of the best ads are written in a person to person tone showing the reader the features and benefits of a product or services.
The following are simple tips you can use to get better results when writing a classified ad.
1. Write two versions of your classified ad
Before you submitting your ad, take some time to write and plan out two versions of your advertisement. The first version should be 250 characters or less, while the second one should be a 3-4 paragraph version. Certain free classified ad websites will only allow brief versions of your classified ad.
2. Stay organized
Using notepad or a spreadsheet, put together a list of classified ad websites that you plan to submit to. This is important for tracking your ads and also can be used in the future when you need to post a free ad.
3. Create a selling email account
Using a service like GMail, Yahoo Mail or Hotmail, create a seller email account to ad inquiries and correspondence. It is a given that you will on occassion receive junk and spam emails. Creating a seperate account frees up your personal and business email accounts.
4. Search out free classified ad websites and evaluate them
Not all free classified ad websites are the same. Some will ask you for lot’s of information, some will give you the ability to upload photos and images, some will provide direct links to your product or service page, some will be easy to navigate, some will charge for posting an advertisment and some may not provide any value to your offering at all.
5. Always post your ad in relevant categories
This is important because you do not want to promote your resume writing services in the automotive section of the ad service. Some administartors may even delete your listing if it is not relevant to the category that you have posted in.
6. Write about the product or service features
Everyone wants information and features tell the buyer what the product or service will do. If you are selling a used car, features would be air conditioning, heated seats, power windows, etc.
7. Write about the product or service benefits
Benefits are things that will help your buyer. A benefit of an eBook is that is will make the reader financially knowledgable about taxes, will help them save money, will assist them with getting a better return during tax season.
8. Track your ads
Try to find out where your inquiries are coming from and what works best. If you are promoting your website, create a seperate landing page and view your statistics to see where people are coming from. You may be surprised what you site stats will show.
Writing classified ads may initially take some time to set up and plan, but once you have your ad copy in place you should see positive results to help your sell, market and promote your products and services on the Internet.

After you’ve written your work, getting published is no doubt a elaborate task. Here are some constructive instructions that will help you write an award winning science fiction novel and publish it profitably.
Step 1: First Draft and Structure
A science fiction book should be structured in three portions: the opening, the middle, and the climax. Once you establish your story plot, you need to reinforce it with any required research. Afterward, you just have to outline your ideas on paper. High doses of imagination are the chief imperative for a triumphant science fiction novel.
Try to uplift your readers from the colorless blandness of ordinary routine life with your novel. Try to conserve suspense in each segment of the novel to make the story line consuming. Let the reader indulge in speculation over imponderable gripping situations. Sketch each segment of the story markedly.
Recognize with your work that good science fiction has believable elements. Science fiction takes current technology and builds upon it. If your ideas are too implausible or past average comprehension, your novel will not strike a chord with readers.
Step 2: Evaluation by Peers
Your initial draft needs to be criticized by several of your colleagues. They will assist not just as proof readers, but will aid you in identifying partial story lines, areas that are not believable, plots that aren’t believable, and characters that are too heroic. Science fiction is based on the suspension of disbelief, but disbelief can only be extended so far.
Online discussion groups like Critters.org provide helpful advice and appraisal. You can also attend your local library assessment workshop. Workshops permit you to get your book manuscript read by multiple people resulting in more extensive feedback. By permitting you the opportunity to review the stories of another, workshops aid you in honing your writing mettle.
Step 3: The Final Draft
After assessment by your peers, you need to edit your manuscript in order to tie up loose ends and remove the inconsistencies pointed out by your evaluators. Clear away the indistinct minutia and construct a final version that provides a firm narrative. If you are faced with a creativity block, it would be prudent to stash the novel on a shelf for a few days and engage yourself with something else. Once you are revitalized you can finish your novel with restored zeal. If major changes have been made to the novel, it should be reevaluated by your peers.
Step 4: Getting Published
There are a lot ways to locate a publisher for your novel. The first is to read science fiction trade publications. Publishers who openly accept submissions routinely advertise in these publications. A second possibility is to inquire with publishers directly. Look at a few of your cherished science fiction books and contact the editorial department. Request a copy of their submission guidelines and standards. It is most of the time best to do this by mail and include a self-addressed stamped envelope. In some instances, a publisher may have this information on their website.
When picking a publisher make sure they are writer friendly. They should have a track record of publicizing the writers and stories they publish.
Step 5: Critical Review
Get your novel critically reviewed before it is published. Give early review copies to authoritative critics. Then, right ahead of final publication, insert their reviews on the inside or back cover of your novel.
Giving the book to a critic who will pile profuse praise on it even if it is balderdash is not going to aid you in any way. You must have the book reviewed by an expert critic. A fair draft critique can save you from much future abasement. In addition, by getting your novel critiqued by a real critic, you’ll secure some promotion from the organization the critic represents.
Conclusion
These easy but effectual guidelines will go a long way in helping you write and sell your science fiction novel. It is a long process and should not be hurried. In some cases writing, rewriting, and publishing a work can take numerous years. It depends on a good deal of persistence and determination. If you possess these qualities and a good deal of imagination you can travel a long way in the science fiction universe.

If you want to write articles online, you need to look for a few good article writing tips that will help you. The tips should encompass not only how you need to structure the article but should also include tips and suggestions on how you can make the article more interesting to your reader.
One of the article writing tips that you will want to follow is to have a compelling title. The title of the article is the first thing that will catch the eye of the reader. You want to be sure that it lures the reader into reading your article. You can come up with the title of the article after you have written the piece of before, it does not matter. What does matter is that it draws attention.
The title is important, but the article body is the meat of the article and should fulfill the promise made in the title. When you are looking for article writing tips, much will center on the body of the article. You will want to keep it moving forward without using unnecessary words and phrases and illustrating the point or promise that you made in your title. A good article will have an introduction, a middle and an end that sums up the points you made.
When looking for article writing tips, look for those that teach you how to write compelling titles as well as how to create content that will hold the reader’s interest till the reader reaches the end where the resource box awaits.

Sharing Some Writing Tips – “A Simple Recipe* for Writing
Success”
* That’s a metaphor, btw
“It’s easy being a writer… the hardest part is figuring how to
make a living, whilst one does so.”
“I got sick and tired of waiting for writing success… so just
carried on without it.”
“Writing to me is like gasoline to an automobile, without it I
would be immobilized.” Carla J. Curtis, The Inspirational
Literary Entrepreneur Author of Grip the Rope: Prayers for

Here is a short article in the form of a bit of advice for
aspiring writers, which I hope may be helpful.
My advice for aspiring writers* is as follows…
* What’s the definition of an aspiring writer? A waiter!
(Don’t worry, I was one too… though I spilt more than was left
in the glass; so no wonder I just had to carry on writing!
* Write something every day. Regularilty and practice makes
“purrfect”.
* “Remember that getting published takes a great deal of
commitment and hard work.
* Learn patience. Things move slowly in the world of publishing
- usually far longer than initial promises.
* Treat writing as your career; so take it seriously.
* Learn everything you can about the writing “business” and the
craft of writing creatively.
* Be open to criticism from your peers. Still far easier to
criticicise than create, eh? Incidentally, there has never been
a monument built honouring a critic!
* Listen to your heart, your intuition, the “core of your being”
(sounds “real airy-fairy stuff” that, Craig!). Write what you
love – not what the MARKET wants (unless you are desperate for
purely financial rewards from your writing). That’s not a “true
writer”, I believe!
* Join a writers’ association and mix with other strange
“arty-farty, airy-fairy intellectual types”.
* “Write as you talk yourself.” – Maeve Binchy.
* Write as honestly as you can. “I write because something
inside myself, inner and unconscious forces me to.” That is the
first compulsion. The second is one of ethical and moral duty. I
feel responsible to tell stories that inspire readers to
consider more deeply who they are.”
Writers help people to see the world differently- from the
writer’s perspective. Make your story real. Be totally honest to
the story that is being told. My “journey” of my various books
is my life journey.
Always remember,
* Writing is hard (and sustained) work – a writer has to work
hard every day, even when one does not feel inspired. So I make
sure I’m inspired at 7am each day.
* Small ideas become bigger, when you leave to your creative
subconscious mind. Seek inspiration (from within and or
externally from God, “the Ultimate Source”) regularly.
* Revise your work constantly; but one has to “call a halt”
sometime.
* Strive for perfection, but accept excellence in your writing.
* Believe in yourself and in the quality of your work. You have
something unique to offer the world: the gift of sharing.
Remember that dreams can come true in your writing… and in
your life.
Happy writing and good luck
