* Use occasional exclamation mark (!) to get your readers attention.

* Make sure your article flows properly. Re-read and re-read.

* Try to be concise in your wording. Brevity is hall-mark of good writing...or so say many of teachers of writing!

* Be credible (big word, eh?) at all times. I try to write my articles in a "conversational style with dashes of my funny humour".

* Put some thought and effort into your heading - again to get your reader's immediate attention.

* Use bullets in your articles - its makes points easy to follow.

* Conclude with a strong message. The final paragraph should contain a message that summarises your article, or gets your reader to take further action.

* Offer a free report with your article - this is an easy way to collect a list of adresses for marketing your product(s). An instant target market.

* Finally, make sure your layout is good (not one of my strong points!), as this greatly enhances your prospects of getting published
