How to Sound Like the Expert You Are

You, too, can become a recognized expert in your specialized field. How? By writing articles that get published on internet! Millions of people are gobbling up internet articles right now. I'm one of them.

Other people's articles interest me for two major reasons. 1. I'm a copywriter, so I use them as an information resource to write my own articles. 2. I market my writing services on internet, so I'm always seeking out exciting new business relationships. Articles speak volumes about an author's intelligence and integrity. If I like what you write, I may do business with you as well as pass your good name along to others who can use what you offer.

Some articles meet my criteria for being "expert-level," and others don't. Trust me, I'm not only one out there who's judging. Position your articles at top of your category and increase your credibility a thousandfold! Read on for some helpful article-writing tips.

1. Use active voice. Move your audience to action with action words. This means eliminating forms of verb "to be" in all their wishy-washiness. Is, am, are, was, were: these sad excuses for verbs will weaken your message and put your audience right to sleep. Replace them wherever possible with action verbs, and make your message pop!

2. Direct reader. Lately I've come across articles where author tells reader what they 'could' do. What a lame way to offer advice! Which of these sentences motivates you: "You could start your own affiliate program" or "Start your own affiliate program"? People want to be told what to do; not what they can, could, should or might do. Take a firm stand, and give your reader a direction to go in!

3. Be specific. Want to know quickest way to lose your reader? Give them a broad topic and then don't follow it with any details. I speak on behalf of all information-seekers when I say this: if you have valuable insights to share, then please take care to explain them fully. You don't have to go on for paragraphs. Just a few gems of wisdom are greatly appreciated, and will establish you as someone who really knows his stuff. If you're hazy on how to do this, always ask yourself who, what, when, where, how and why of topic at hand.

Webmasters: You may reprint this article in its entirety, providing you leave Byline and About Author sections intact, including links to Dish Network Satellite TV.

The satellite tv industry has made huge gains on cable tv industry in past several years. With price of cable tv skyrocketing every year, many cable subscribers are making switch over to satellite tv. Okay so you've decided to switch to satellite tv; but which satellite tv provider do you choose? A satellite tv provider is a company that owns and operates satellites in geostationary orbit around earth. These satellites broadcast satellite signal down to your satellite dish and from their signal is transferred to your receiver (black box). The two largest satellite tv providers in United Sates are DirecTV and DISH Network. The vast majority of satellite tv subscribers in United States use one or other so this article will concentrate on comparing two satellite giants in an attempt to help you decide which of two is best foryou.

With almost exponential growth of satellite tv industry, both DISH Network and DirecTV are now in a position where they can afford to offer satellite equipment (dish and receivers) free to their subscribers. So for starters both DISH Network and DirecTV offer free satellite equiipment. Basically only qualifiers are that you be a first time subscriber and that you have a credit card for monthly billing purposes. So if equipment is free how do two providers make any money? Well, you do have to pay for monthly programming of course. The price of your monthly programming bill depends on which programming package you choose.

DISH Network's America Top 60 programmng package starts at $24.99 per month and local channels are available. DISH Network presently is not making new subscribers commit to a one year contract. You can end your subscription at any time with no financial penalty to pay. DirecTV's entry level programming package is called Total Choice package and comes with local channels and is $39.99 per month. With Total Choice package you get over 130 channels. DirecTV does require you to sign a one year subscription agreement. If you cancel your service before year is up, then you have to pay a penalty fee to DirecTV.

As both satellite giants use very lates technology in their satellites and receiving equipment, what differentiates two is in programming options that they provide to their subscribers. I would rate DirecTV somewhat ahead of DISH Network in their sports packages, as they offer seasonal sports options like N.F.L. Sunday Ticket that DirecTV has exclusive rights to. Both providers offer tons of premium movie packages to choose from including HBO, Showtime, Starz and Cinemax. All these come with multiple channels per movie package. As DISH Network has more satellites in orbit than DirecTV does they have capacity to offer up to 500 viewing channels, whereas with DirecTV, you can 'only' get 250 channels. Also, DISH Network offers alot more foreign programming packages than DirecTV does.
