Quality Content and the Writer

 by Bonnie Moss  (c)  2007-09

The Internet has revolutionized the world
of writing. It has become an important vehicle
for aspiring writers to get published and for
the seasoned writer- a wider access to readers.

There is no shortage of writers on a very
broad range of topics. Everyone is encouraged
to write, write and write some more. Article
submissions to various ezines and newsletters,
and to groups is the norm for most web
writers. Some writers are willing to pay to 
get their articles widely distributed.

Article distribution is wide open to writers who 
hope to see their articles all over the web. There 
could be a downside to web-wide distribution
of articles. Who has not read these words: 
Content is King, seek out your “niche”, write 
about what you know. Just keep writing.
There are all kinds of possibilities to the
resourceful and dedicated writer.

There is something amiss. Why are there 
articles floating around in cyberspace that 
are poorly written? No matter how good an
idea is, if it is written sloppily, it loses its
appeal. The writer’s credibility as a writer is 
tarnished. Not all ezines are created equal, either.
Someone wrote : Where are your articles being
published? Take note, these are very important
words. Do a search before submitting your
articles, be selective and not submit
your articles just anywhere.  Credibility is one of 
the best assets a writer can develop and
be proud of.

It takes time to develop the craft of writing,
good writing, that is. If you dream of being a
writer, spend time to read, and  re-read your 
articles. Be well informed, keep abreast with
what's going on in the world. Learn to love
books, magazines and most printed matter.

Who knows, in time, you can write articles
outside your area of expertise. You can venture
into other areas through research. This is
really broadening your horizon.


Learn how to write
Take some lessons in writing, pay attention
to your spelling, grammar, sentence construction.
Write in the active voice, learn to be brief and
concise. Some words don't add anything to
the article, so it is best to delete these.
In print media, these are critical parameters for
any writer.

It is not how many articles you can write in 
a week or in a month. Remember, writing 
and submitting articles is not about quantity. 
Quality is very important for a writer who 
hopes to make a good and credible impression
and most importantly, to get noticed.


Quality content defines a writer.
