2. Just Being Writing, It Gets Better:
First it is sometimes hard to get a subject or theme and to get the first couple of lines scribbled down. We know writers who literally get sick thinking about the process. Lighten up. There are a lot to write about, name it: alternative medicine, cancer diseases, true religion, life insurance, playing online poker, cheap insurance. Others may think of even more unusual topics such as penis enlargement and cheap viagra. Once an writer has a starting point and gets passed the initial thoughts, article and blog writing usually works pretty smoothly.

The key thing is that you get started. Choose a topic you are familiar with and know something about and just start. You will be enjoyably at just how easily ideas flow. Don’t assume everybody knows what you know. They do not. Will Rogers once said, “all men are ignorant, just on different subjects”. And this is a fact!

3. Good vs Perfection:
Your old English composition professor is not looking over your shoulder. Your composition need not to be perfect. It doesn’t mean it should not get a point or to say that it does not have to be correct. At least it does or it should be. However, our goal is not perfection and is, in fact, rarely possible. Too much detail and you run the risk of losing your reader on several levels. Too long and
most readers simply don’t have the time or interest to browse the whole material regardless of how important it is.

4. Length of Blog vs Article Length:
Most web publishers require a minimum of 600 words per article – some will let you slide with four hundred (400) words. Blogs can have a shorter content. Blogs can and maybe should support appropriate photos and embedded links.

Just don’t over do it. Too gaudy or too slow to load and you have wasted your time, ticked off a potential reader, and probably upset a server who can ban you entirely from their service. writings, then again, typically cannot carry these extra touches according to the essentials of most publishers.

5. Format:
Save your article in ASCII format. There are a lot of software from which to choose to get the job done. A search for ‘free ASCII editor’ or for ‘free plain text editors’ will give you a lot of tools to choose from. WordPress is a popular option. If all else fails simply use notepad to turn out your masterpiece.

6. Grammar and Spelling:
Run and good spell checker and grammar checker once you have written your article. Microsoft Word works well for these purposes. Just don’t use the MS Word copy for publication of your article. Rather use its suggestions to make any essential corrections to your copy in plain text. The MS Word copy will work for blogs although other editors are favored.

Like the good old days when you were pushed by professsor, you will find article and blog authoring skills become better with time and practice.

7. Publish and Announce:
Once your blog is ready you may want to utilize some automatic tools to publish and announce it. First do a search for Blog directories and select those suited to your needs. Register in one or more and publish your blog there. Then search for blog and RSS announcers and use them to get your blog noticed.

Now that you have that out of the way find an article wizard that will post your compositions to free publishers. You can post them one at a time by hand if you are really bored and have absolutely nothing else in life to do. Using an automatic poster you can publish to hundreds of hosts in an hour or so. The only way to go.

8. Patience:
Now, have some patience. Here is where you lose control. Many of those who host compositions are timely and your articles will be reviewed in a span of 1 to 2 days. Others may take days and weeks therefore never date an article – a sure way to get rejected.

9. Rejection – “sorry your article has been declined”:
Be prepared for most directories to reject your compositions. Do not take it personally. It usually has something to do with your submission and with you as the author.

Some sites routinely reject compositions for spelling errors when there are none or where there is more than way to spell a word. And, just as in any other endeavor some directories are simply too lazy and get so far behind, the easiest and fastest thing to do (and perhaps the only alternative) is to reject the whole article. You will know who does this over time.

Then there are those who run your writings through the sausage grinder and if they find certain words, regardless of how they are used, your article gets no farther. These are the people who can’t publish the Bile because of the words it contains that may offend readers. Don’t worry about these folks who are so heavenly minded they are of no earthly use.

Remember, just as in everything else in life, for every rule there is an exception.

10. Keep the faithBelieve, and keep cranking out compositions:
Since most writers, particularly newbies, prepare only one copy of an article against the advice of most seasoned authors it is important that the newbie keep his chin up – keep the faith. That will be easier as more and more of your articles are accepted and published driving visitors to your website while producing those all significant links to your sites.

It is not unavoidable that every host to accept every submission. After one or two hosts publish your article on any given subject, the search engines tend to penalize additional postings of the same article. This is close to spamming and while it could help someone find you, it probably won’t. It is not necessarily, the more the merrier. The additional listings will not increase your page rankings or links reported by the search engines. It is more essential to get published by hosts with the highest Google page rank possible.

Now, one EXTRA TIP for you: Along with “the rejection slip” will usually come a suggestion on how to “fix” your article and a request that you submit it again. Don’t waste your time. While trying comply with one database manager’s request you could have written a new one where you can get more punch. There will be enough publishers will choose your article up so move on and save yourself some time and heartburn.

Everybody has an idea or thought at least once a day usually at the untimeliest time. How many of these ideas are lost because you procrastinate? Don’t procrastinate! Go! Capture that thought before disappears.
