3 Ways to Improve Your Writing
My first affiliate program had many marketing tools and advice for driving traffic to my website.
Some were affordable; others were costly.
I used Google ads with great success, but noticed that I was not making enough to continue with this form of traffic generation.
When I decided to utilize the other tools given, I came across information on article writing.
The affiliate program I started with has no shortage of directories for article submissions.
They do not give very much advice on how to write better articles, but they do direct you to places to obtain assistance in this area.
Because the marketing tools are numerous, a person can choose any number of ways to market the available programs.
You don't have to use article marketing.
I choose to do so because it is much more affordable.
I also find it very enjoyable.
"I love writing!" That statement probably evokes a great emotional response from many people.
Whether you agree or disagree, writing is a very important medium today even with the increase of satellite TV, internet and cell phones, just to name a few.
The ability to get your message across with the written word is a gift not everyone possesses.
However, it can be learned.
A person can teach himself to become a better writer, but it will take practice.
My first writing instructor in college advised the class to keep a journal and get into the habit of writing every day.
This is excellent advice and I offer it to many who struggle with the task of writing.
If you feel that you need more guidance and/or assistance in the learning process of writing, there are places that offer affordable classes on writing; many may be in your local area.
If you would like to teach yourself, there a few things you can do to improve your writing skills.
1.
Keep a pad and pen with you at all times to jot down any ideas you may have at a moment's notice.
2.
Don't worry about grammar and spelling in the beginning; this will be done during the editing process.
3.
Use outlining to organize the different ideas and topics in the article.
I'll discuss these in more detail: Keeping a pad and pen is important because no matter how great your memory is, you will lose details about the brainstorm you had if it's not written down or recorded in some way.
If you prefer to be more high tech, a digital voice recorder works just as well.
Grammar and spelling are of course extremely important, but for those who find writing a chore, getting those thoughts on paper takes precedence.
Writing is about expression.
Express what you are feeling at the time and tweak the essentials when you are ready to edit the article.
This will be your rough draft.
Outlining is necessary and helpful.
Even though I enjoy writing, outlining is the one thing I don't like doing.
However, I find that creating an outline from my rough draft helps me to ensure that the flow of my article can be followed by anyone who reads it.
The outline can be done before the rough draft; and most people do so.
I choose to do my rough draft first.
For more advice on affiliate marketing and generating traffic to your web site, the program I started with, Free Site Signup, is great for newbies.
As you increase in traffic and sales, you will find that you will have much more to write about and may want to add article marketing to your business plan.
