  It isn’t just keywords that you must focus on, you need to create great site content that you visitors are going read, to use, and share. These three things will make up great site content. Great Site Content That is Readable: Readable content is easy to read and it content that people are going to want to read. There are a few ways that you can create great site content; Using video or images: Videos and images can help you create great site content because it helps explain the message a little better.

I thought it was going to be something that I could easily pick up, kind of like riding a bike right? Yeah, that’s right. It is more complicated than this. Sure, the thoughts were there, my will power had diminished, so why was it so difficult for me to write? Where was my clarity of my own thoughts? My thoughts were all over the place. It was as though my thoughts were coming at me faster than my hands could type. It wasn’t like it was back in the good ole days when people used pen and paper and you kind of had no choice but to slow down. Nope, this was putting fingers to keyboard and the words weren’t being put down like I had wanted them to be. This is where the clarity of your thoughts come in. I took a second to look back at my work and I was disgusted. I had actually written that? I must be tired, hungry, or something. Nothing made sense. Does this sound anything like th...

 I recently got asked if I would allow an individual to  write an article  for my blog. I assume that what they meant was, could they write a blog post. I also assume that this individual did not know the difference between a blog post and an article.

It is like you are having a conversation with an individual that you have known for years. Blog post do not have to be formal at all. Blog post are supposed to invite the readers in and create conversation. Blog post also tend to have the writer’s opinion more than an article does. This does not mean that a blog post is not based on facts. Blog post are editorial pieces at best.

 Rejection as a freelance writer is just part of being a writer. I do not know of one person that has not had to deal with some form of rejection as a freelance writer during their writing career.

Article writing use to be easy since the competition was slim but, ever since the boom of the internet, there are thousands upon thousands of people claiming to be article writers or who have at least dabbled in article writing.

It was like a ringing in my ears, and something that new writers would say to other writers; write what you know.
