IÃâm a publisher for numerous sites. I HATE many of your articles. HereÃâs why I hate the body of your article and what you can do about it.
YouÃâre Giving Me A Headache
LetÃâs cut to the chase on this issue. I really donÃât care what you write about. As long as it isnÃât an overt sales pitch, knock yourself out. I am more interested in the format of the
article, not your view or take on the subject matter. The readers on my sites may not like what you write, but that is your problem.
I do care about the flow and format of the body of your article. I strongly encourage you to have a point and stick to it. If another idea comes to mind half way through writing an article, turn it
into a separate article. DonÃât try to cram it all into one article.
One Sentence Paragraphs
DonÃât. For the love of God, just donÃât write these. The only time you should write a one sentence paragraph is if it is a narrative. Occasionally, you can write one for dramatic impact, but
try to stay away from these.
Loooonggg Sentences
Even in our capitalist society, punctuation is free. This Ãâ.Ãâ is a period. The period is your friend. For some of you, it is a long lost friend.
Sentences should be relatively short. If you write articles through the stream of consciousness method, good for you. When the masterpiece is done, read it out loud to yourself. How does it sound?
Perhaps you should do something with the 10-line sentence?
Linking In The Body
Why, why, why do you do this? I absolutely refuse to publish any article with links in the body. In truth, I donÃât have anything against such links. My bitch is that youÃâre making me take
extra steps to hyperlink the damn things when I publish them on sites. If you think I am going to spend extra time on your article, youÃâre wrong. Chant with me, ÃâI will put all links in the
byline.Ãâ
Spelling
Contrary to popular opinion, I donÃât care if you misspell words. I canÃât spell worth a damn and assume you canÃât either. I will run your article through spell check programs. In fact,
IÃâll run them through two spell check programs. Spelling is not a big issue with me.
Body Headlines
Using headlines in the body of your article is a very good idea. I love them and will view you in a more favorable light. The only thing I ask is that you CAPITALIZE the first letter of each word.
Remember, I am lazy.
The Last Paragraph
The last paragraph should summarize the point you made in the article. The last paragraph is not a place to put links, hints about your site or your biography. I will not publish your article if
you do such things. You can cover all of these items in your byline.
When it comes to the body of your article, knock yourself out. Just keep in mind these pet peeves.
