There are many ways writers combat the dreaded ‘writer’s block’ but for me there is one thing that always helps; reading other people’s blogs. When I do this I am able to:

• Find out what other bloggers and their readers interested in at the moment
• Find out what the most popular topic that people blogging about currently is

Then I can decide if I want to write about it too and create an article around that topic.

When writing an article the most important rule you need to follow is the first paragraph rule; In the first paragraph clearly state what the article is about.

In web articles you oftentimes state a problem, such as “how to lose wight and keep it off” – then explain how the article is going to solve the problem “by showing a simple step-by-step approach to writing”.

If you have a passion for writing being a freelance writer just might be for you. Some people write just to write others do it because not only do they love it, they love to make money at it!

The IWC blog has a great post The First Step to Being a Freelance Writer – if you’re interested in this line of work, this is a great post to check out!

Many article writers claim to be an ‘expert’ in their field – but just wt makes someone an expert? I say, experience. While research can definitely lead someone to being an expert in their field, nothing says ‘been there, done that and I KNOW’ than having a boatload of experience to back things up.

If you really want to connect with your audience and prove that you know what you’re talking about, use your experience to back up your thoughts.

Ever write an article and then after publication you notice a spelling error? It’s horrifying, I know! You think to yourself, “but I used spellcheck!” Well, I hate to break it to you, spellcheck is an indispensable tool, but it isn’t a fool-proof application.
It doesn’t correct words used incorrectly if you mean ‘their’ but use ‘there’ and spell it correctly spellcheck will leave your error there for the whole world to see.
