Writing web content isn’t easy for everyone. Not everyone is a writer. Heck not everyone even LIKES to write.

Except me of course, I love doing it… you could say it’s a passion! Or a hobby.

Wait but I actually get paid to do it, so that’s not really a hobby is it?

But for those of you for whom writing is not a passion there are ways you can still keep readers engaged and keep them coming back for more. Even better they are super simple methods, so you need not feel as if you’re about to climb Mount Everest or run a 10k or something equally as hard and scary. I promise… it’s easy.

1. Focus on quality over quantity or excessive keyword stuffing. Yes, I know it’s important to use proper SEO and optimize for keywords. However I subscribe to the when and where you can and when and where appropriate modus operandi.

In other words, I don’t use keywords prolifically within my content unless they happen to occur there naturally. I don’t stuff them in so that the content is virtually unintelligible. And I make sure that everything I write offers something valuable to a potential reader.

If I tell a story, I make sure there is a moral behind it. If I talk about something I do in business I talk about why and how I do it. Always make sure that when your reader read your content they can walk away from it and say hey… I learned something. Or hey… that motivated me or made me laugh, or WHATEVER.

2. Keep it simple. Remember that a huge portion of web readers are operating on an 8^th grade reading level. This means that using highly technical jargon or big fancy words is a no-no. Small, simple ones often suffice just as well in your web content.

That doesn’t mean write in such simple language that you almost begin to make fun of the reader. That’s bad. It just means don’t get carried away with geek speak or write like a college English professor with 12 Master’s degrees. Keep it simple.

3. Stay on-topic. Or at least primarily on-topic. And if you do wander off-topic make sure the reader knows you did it on purpose and wander straight back. There’s nothing worse than trying to read an article where the writer goes off on long, winding tangents that aren’t at all applicable to the topic at hand.

You lose your readers when you do that and it’s likely they will never return. You DO want them to return right? So stick to your topic, keep it simple, and give them some value.

4. Finally, inject a bit of personality into what you write. People like to connect with what they’re reading. They like to connect with the person behind the words. Don’t be afraid to say something funny or express a point of view.

You’ll resonate more with people by being authentic and honest than you will by trying to be perfect and proper and ‘only say the right thing’.

And if you have no personality? Buy some!

Sorry if that sounds harsh and if that’s you, but seriously… don’t torture your readers if you can’t write with a bit of personality and authenticity. Hire someone to ghost for you and call it a day. No one will hate you for it and you might even retain a reader or two!

Cori is a wildly hire-able freelance ‘ghost’ and the creative brains and dubious brawn behind her blog Big Girl Branding. She’d also like to note that ‘big’ does not mean what you think it means. It was meant to indicate being a grown up. Sigh… Of course you probably didn’t get that, and it totally loses its effect when she has to explain it. I guess she’ll just have to put her ‘Big Girl’ panties on and deal with it. Ta-taaaa!!!

Have you tried reading a newspaper everyday? I'm always reading newspapers because I want to be updated on the latest happenings in our area, and around the world. As you can see, the format of writing a news article is much different from a regular article. So in the internet, when we write a news article about the upcoming events and the latest releases of your products and services, it's what we call a press release.

Don't you know that we are gaining backlinks and traffic through writing a press release and submitting them into various press release directories? Of course yes! Lots of webmasters and clients right now are looking for some ways to get traffic, backlinks and revenue for their websites or blogs in the internet, and one of them is what we call press release submissions.

So far there are over 150 press release submission sites that exists in the internet right now. More and more clients are trying to spend money for the service providers who can do the press release writing and submissions at a time. The average rate of writing is range from $10.00 to $20.00 per press release article, and for submissions it is averaged about $15 per 100 PR sites.

You are going to be successful and not mistaken in building more backlinks with press release, and earning money through writing a professional press release to your client. Every time you start a press release, the headline should be the same format with a newspaper, and for every first paragraph, it should start with the location of the news. You got to try it for yourself guys, press release link building and writing is good and even affiliate products on Clickbank, CJ and other programs can be promoted on a press release site.

Are you sick and tired just sitting at your computer and not earning money at all? If you are smart enough to sell products on your own, can you do that? Right now, there are lots of eBooks that are so cheap or even free to download. being a copywriter gives you benefits to earn money while selling your own method by publishing an eBook. But we need money right? PLR and MRR eBooks are easy to sell by means of creating a website and spread the word to the public. So here are the 5 ways that you can make profit through PLR and MRR eBooks.

1. Look for some websites that will let you sign up for a membership that will access you to free list of MRR and PLR eBooks to download.

2. Sell them for at least $1.00 per eBook.

3. Create a free website using Blogger and post your eBooks there, along with the images. Make it look very attractive.

4. Create Paypal buttons using your Paypal account so that when they purchase, they will pay automatically by clicking the Buy Now button.

5. Spread your eBook by means of SEO and link building through forums, social bookmarks, do-follow blogs, classified ads and much more.

$1.00 is a small amount actually, but more buyers will come and pay to get your eBooks. The more eBooks you have to sell at least $1.00, the more you get profit by just investing your time and you got money to your Paypal over and over again. How is that sound folks? Looks like I have to continue this method over and over again with a lot of research too.

If you want your content to be featured, all you have to do is to make it unique and simply free from grammatical errors and punctuations. It's not that simple right, because there are certain judgement which you may have to do in order to make your content featured in the article directories like EzineArticles, etc. This is one of the important things that you must know if you want your article or content to be featured in thousands of article directories.

Here are some of the things which they judge you for your content:

1. Keyword density - it should be ranged from a minimum of 1% and maximum of 2%. Exceeding 2% is not allowed as it will be declined by the article directories like Ezine.

2. Paragraph formation - your content must start with an introduction before you discuss the topic. Your paragraph must be at least four lines and no more than ten lines.

3. Punctuations - in terms of sentence structure, punctuations are very easy. You can only use exclamations when your sentence is more likely a shocking one or something that is furious. In every sentence, at least one comma will be added only if you don't have any examples.

4. Keyword or keyphrase combination - your keywords or keyphrases must match within the content's sentence structure. Good combination is one big achievement or key in which you will gain traffic base on the keyword and niche you are using. Keyword or keyphrase competition varies on, as you may only rely on keywords with low or average competition with the use of Google Keyword Analyzer Tool or Micro Niche Finder.

5. Grammar - this is the main part of the content's uniqueness and perfect positioning of words. Those who are English fluent or English native, have the advantage over the others. Since all of us know about English from elementary until now, we must know how we use past, present and future tense of each word or phrase. Also, we must know how to use the singular or plural nouns and verbs as well.

In this way, you have a better chance that your article will be approved in no time, and could be featured in their article directories. If your article or content is featured, you will gain more traffic than those who are not featured. If you have a signature link in your article that you've submitted, they may have a chance to check out the site that you're promoting, which is relevant to your content.

One of the things which a client wants to do is to create an article and a press release. It helps you build more traffic and backlinks to your website and it was one of the best methods to market your products, offers or services. Day by day, more and more clients are creating threads that they are looking for professional article writers or press release writers who can give them quality results to their project.

Both article and press release have their own submissions and distributions. When it comes to articles, they can submit their unique articles to numerous article directories and distribute it to other websites. As for the press release writing, they have their own separate submissions, which are the press release directories. You need to set the correct format of the press release in order to be accepted by them. You can submit your one press release to multiple websites, unlike for articles you need to rewrite or spin them over and over again.

But there are comparisons I think for both the prices of press release and article creation, submission and distributions. Here are some of my ideas:

1. For articles

* $0.006 to $0.01 per word

* $10 to $30 per 100 article submissions and distribution

2. For press release

* $15 to $20 and above per press release

* $10 to $30 and above per 100 press release submissions and distribution

For the conclusion, articles are much cheaper than press release. Why? Articles are normally unique and you write it on your own. But for the press release, it's similar to news article and with proper structure. But still we write it in our own words, and we don't need to copy it from other sources without permission, or else it could lead us to plagiarism. Both of these services are still very useful, and could make you money for your products, services and offers for just writing with creativity.
