<p>Online world is very competitive now, same thing applies to blogging. Four years back when I started blogging, there were only few renowned bloggers around, and now I see many of them. Online visitors have got variety of choice in blogs to read through. They are not dependent on few of them for quality content.</p>
<p>The competition is tough now, and in efforts to establish yourself as blogger &#8211; you would need to build your authority online as a well-known blogger. Developing an unique and quality content is a default key in this process. There are some supporting activities that we should not ignore as those can help you to establish quicker. You are lucky if you come across those who are finding freelance writers like you and can popularize you or if you don&#8217;t come across, I can help you in there.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeiscolourful.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/online-article-publishing.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-602" title="online-article-publishing" src="http://www.lifeiscolourful.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/online-article-publishing.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="344" /></a></p>
<p>One of my online friends has started a website to <a href="http://www.edubook.com/" target="_blank">find good freelance writers</a> to provide them a platform establishing them as authors. Keep in mind, there is a thin line between a blogger and author. It&#8217;s a journey you have to take, that changes you from a blogger to author. Author is someone who has an authority, correct? Not every blogger around might have that authority! I am cent percent sure that you want to build that authority.</p>
<p>If you have that aspiration for yourself, what you write about is not a restriction. You shall strive for the quality in your articles in your favorite subjects, and those can be published in relevant categories on popular websites. Your content will get a platform that can promote your authorship online for no cost. As I start my new ventures in online business, I am inclined in <a href="http://www.edubook.com/category/business/" target="_blank">informative business related writing</a> to share my knowledge with others and also establish myself as business blogger.</p>
<p>Not necessarily, the subject you choose should be something very popular only, but you can focus on what is your favorite topic. That gives you an inbuilt authority to write quality articles due to your interest in that subject. To understand this better, you can check out this article written by one of the authors, Marius at edubook.com. The article talks about <a href="http://www.edubook.com/watch-out-apple-iphone-the-blackberry-storm-is-here/820/" target="_blank">the latest Blackberry news</a> that might be of the author&#8217;s own interest and the article appears in a flow. The topic if you see, you might think that even you can write about it. Exactly the same thing I want to emphasize on! You just needs to get motivated to bring out the writing instinct in you and use article publishing websites like edubook.com to get a free platform and build an authority as blogger.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s little difficult for a webmaster to be successful without array of websites and quality content. The efforts behind these websites and their development get multi fold if he or she works alone without a team and develops content herself.</p>
<p>There are two sides behind developing websites from webmasters&#8217; perspective, Static website and blogs with flowing content regularly. But is it feasible to pour the quality content or articles considering the multi fold efforts for an individual. See it&#8217;s feasible, but not for all. By Quality content, I also mean that webmaster shall have good vocabulary and writing skills. But not always, webmasters could set their thoughts in impressive words.</p>
<p>Just imagine if you don&#8217;t have that inventory of mesmerizing words with you, you are left with writing an article in simple words as your thought process goes and give it to an article writer to rework on the article to make it little attractive. I would just make your task simpler and provide you a way to do it yourself. See here I don&#8217;t mean you might be writing bad articles but even simple articles if decorated with appropriate words and corrected grammar, become beautiful articles and many established bloggers might like to use this service.</p>
<p>Doing an <a href="http://www.badarticle.com" target="_blank">Article Rewrite</a> should never be a problem for a webmaster who strives to bring quality articles for his readers. And what all you need for this is, IE 6.0 [with ActiveX control installation enabled] and your original article. Badarticle.com is the place where we can get our articles rewritten.</p>
<p>Honestly, even I sometimes feel the need of it while reading some blog posts online. Those articles are good but lack use of good vocabulary. Now it&#8217;s simply submitting your original written articles and choosing options of rewriting of new articles from your original wording. Whether You want <a href="http://www.badarticle.com" target="_blank">rewrite articles</a> with little, medium or extreme deviations from original words.</p>
<p>But make sure you allow the ActiveX download when you open this website in Internet explorer 6.0 [only for now]. Make sure you read the instructions on homepage of <a href="http://www.badarticle.com" target="_blank">badarticle.com</a> carefully. The owner of this site is kind of witty, so take it casually, alright! Once you submit the article, just wait for couple of minutes and you would see an article rewritten as per your selection of rewriting the article. Though it&#8217;s pretty innovative idea, I would suggest you to review the article once before publishing it. Just to make sure that the intended meaning remains same in the newly rewritten article as well.</p>
<p>You would realize that the original article pretty much means the same with some good words used instead of simple words. You might need to switch back to original words though after seeing if meaning changes or remains the same.</p>
<p><strong>I suggest the website owner that after developing such useful tool, he should focus more on retaining the meaning of the sentence after replacing the words in rewritten article.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.lifeiscolourful.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/badarticle_400.gif" alt="Article Rewrite Tool" /></p>
<p>See the example over here, this is the rewritten text under &#8220;<strong>Colourful Blog Anniversary Contest</strong>&#8221; from the original <a href="http://www.lifeiscolourful.com/this-week-blogging-from-hospital/" target="_blank">contest update post</a> using this tool. I had chosen &#8220;the worse rewrite [means your original article will change considerably]&#8221; &#8211; 2nd option in the drop down below the text area and here is the result.</p>
<blockquote><p>We have concentrated around $1700 integrity sponsorship in furthermost continuance, merit to all the sponsors. The rewards are graceful far out in language of moolah, ad stab, produce, military, and subscriptions. I still capitalization to excess baggage on it well in spreadsheet and draw fisticuffs bearings for you to move in. Most casual, the D-life span should be 7th or 8th June and the reason about shall turn pending carry through of the time.</p></blockquote>
<p>I would like if my text can be rewritten like this and if you observe some of the words are replaced in a way that they are changing the original meaning a bit. Once again, one very useful website I found for webmasters, bloggers and article writers if used <strong>correctly</strong>.</p>

<p>Couple of days back, you must have seen a post on Do&#8217;s and Don&#8217;ts of <a href="http://www.lifeiscolourful.com/how-to-write-good-article-summary-dos-and-donts/">How to Write Good Article Summary</a>. This was in efforts to prepare ourselves as good writers. This not only applies to the articles but even the blog posts that we publish, so don&#8217;t ignore these posts thinking you would never be an article writer and why would you need to go towards it. Finally, it&#8217;s all about writing and better your writing and use simple methods like <a href="http://www.lifeiscolourful.com/spell-check-before-you-post-for-better-user-experience/">spell check</a>, your article or blog post will be added in favorites by your readers.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.lifeiscolourful.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/how2blog.jpg" title="How to Blog - Five Simple Ways to Make Blog Post Worth Reading"><img src="http://www.lifeiscolourful.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/how2blog.thumbnail.jpg" alt="How to Blog - Five Simple Ways to Make Blog Post Worth Reading" /></a></p>
<p>While writing the blog post, specially in today&#8217;s competition of 1000s of blogs around in your niche &#8211; you have to stand out with every blog post coming out of your pen [or keyboard I should say]. And this is where I can help you. These are five simple ways to entice your readers with your blog post.</p>
<p><strong>1. Give and Give more</strong></p>
<p>Your blog post should be containing useful information, expert strategies, tips and knowledge on the blog niche. Readers are more attracted towards the tips that are easy to implement and show quick returns. If it&#8217;s not possible, at least give your readers some real data that motivates them to do it.</p>
<p><strong>2. Be Clear and Concise</strong></p>
<p>Writing the blog post in concise way, will not only make your post more readable but more attractive too. You may benefit from the use of bulleted or numbered lists to break down your article in an easy to read fashion. You can even separate your sentence compositions in small paragraphs that are easy to read and grasp.</p>
<p><strong>3. Use of Images and Snapshots</strong></p>
<p>The use of images in your blog post might be little cumbersome for you, but this is the best possible method you can attract your readers&#8217; attention to blog post. Keep in mind that your images should be relevant to your blog post. You better don&#8217;t add a supermodel picture for a post on &#8220;how to blog&#8221; <img src='http://www.lifeiscolourful.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Moreover, don&#8217;t add the images that are spanning across the blog body without limiting themselves to the post body.</p>
<p><strong>4. Use Bold and Italics Occasionally</strong></p>
<p>Though this is more towards aesthetic side again, it works! You should occasionally make some important keywords or information Bolded or Italicized. At the same time, excessive use of the same might lose the effect. But it&#8217;s a fact that smart use of bold text can attract eyes of the reader who is just about to exit.</p>
<p><strong>5. Entice Your Readers</strong></p>
<p>Provide enough information in the blog post to keep the reader engaged. Entice them for more with your &#8220;pitch&#8221; and relevant links to the blog post. This will encourage them to check out the reliable sources that you believe in.</p>
<p>I guarantee you that if you change your methodology to these five simple ways, you would see lot of difference in the response from your readers eventually. I am sure this works, simply because I have been experiencing it. If you liked these five simple ways, <strong>feel free to link to this post</strong> so your readers would be directed to one more reliable source in blogosphere.</p>

<p>In efforts of collecting backlinks from some authority websites, I have thought of an idea that could have come in my mind years earlier. The same thing shall not happen with you, so I better share this with you now. The simple idea is &#8211; <strong>I thought about writing good articles for some article websites and place backlink to my websites over there as author&#8217;s website. They do allow to have your website link at the bottom of each article</strong>. To materialize this idea, I would first need to write quality articles and that need to be good in all aspects and not only content.</p>
<p>And that;s why before entering into the actual work, I make sure that I do the background work perfectly. When I am supposed to write some quality articles there are many areas where we should look at seriously like article body, summary, presentation, sentense composition etc.</p>
<p>I am starting a small series about writing quality articles and if you can grab the knowledge I am sharing here, I am sure you would be soon become a good article writer and can use this opportunity to increase your backlinks for free.</p>
<p>When you submit the article to these article collection websites or ezines, they ask you to submit summary of your article that is presented to the reader when they search for one.</p>
<p>The purpose of your article summary is to entice a potential reader to read the rest of your article. Get right to point and playfully tease your audience with the benefits they will receive if they read your article.</p>
<p><strong>Article Summary Do&#8217;s:</strong></p>
<p>1. Create in Proper Length: Your article summary should be 2 to 5 sentences long.<br />
2. Give Emotional Benefit: Speak directly to your reader of the emotional benefits that can be gained by reading the information in your article body.<br />
3. Target your Reader: Give your ideal reader reasons they should continue reading your article.<br />
4. Include Keywords: Your article summary should mention at least 3 to 5 keywords relating to your article topic, using keyword research tools.</p>
<p><strong>Article Summary Don&#8217;ts:</strong></p>
<p>1. Repeat Your Article Title<br />
2. Repeat Your Author Name<br />
3. Pitch You or Your Business<br />
4. Include your URL or E-Mail Address<br />
5. Blatantly Self-promote<br />
6. Create an Article Summary more than 2 paragraphs or 7 sentences in length.</p>
<p>This is it for now, I would update you on how to write good article body in next post on this topic.</p>
