6) Lack of Editing- It might take you just a few minutes to whip up that latest article but those few minutes might affect quality of your work. Proof reading and editing can sometimes be painstaking not to mention submission process especially if done by hand.

7) Woeful Spelings- Got that one? Proper spelling is important as too many mistakes can affect your credibility. You might get away with one but definitely not four.

8) Grammar- This is in same vein as spelling. If your grammar sounds like that of a toddler, then don’t expect readers to be impressed. You don’t need to have writing skills of a poet, but with a little practice and research you can vastly improve.

9) Sales copy – You know these well. Some authors write articles that belongs in classifieds. In their articles they blatantly advertise their services with hope of readers visiting their website. A benefit laden article will always produce best results.

10) Too much links- Nothing peeves me than to get an article to run in my newsletter but when I read it through it is littered. These links can confuse reader and also reduces potential of your resource box.

These are a few quirks I found to be associated with writing and promotion of articles. And I did say ten items but I will just throw in an extra. What is it? Go ahead and proceed with your article writing. While there are some negatives it does work. Why would I be writing this one if it didn’t?

Tactic 3: Reward your distributors for consuming words

Just imagine how much more dedicated your people would be to re-distribute your info product if they actually understood it themselves first. In other words, encourage them to be a reader first and then allow them to distribute it to others.
