Incredibly Bad Articles Will Kill Your Credibility
|

Written By:

I've noticed a disturbing trend recently of writers writing
articles suggesting that people write articles to send traffic to their websites, and enhance their credibility. In theory, the more articles you write, the more traffic you'll
receive, the more credibility you'll have, the more sales
you'll make.
It's an interesting theory. However, what those articles
fail to mention is that your writing needs to be of a
certain quality. And quite frankly, I'm seeing a
proliferation of poorly written--or just plain bad articles
appearing across the Internet!
Unfortunately, there are some publishers out there who will
publish just about anything. That's the good news. The bad
news is, those publishers don't have the quality websites or
the huge traffic numbers, so your article probably won't be
seen by too many people anyway.
So, in essence, you're really wasting your time writing
garbage, because you're not going to reap the benefits that
go along with writing quality content. Remember this
saying, "garbage in, garbage out!"
To get published in the top ezines and on the top websites--
the one's with mega traffic, you need to have your act
together. Publishers of top ezines and websites aren't
stupid, and so desperate for content that they'll just
publish anything that's submitted to them. Their credibility
is at stake everytime they publish. They have standards and
their readers have come to expect a certain degree of
excellence from them.
After all, how do you think they - continued below ...

became top websites and
ezines in the first place?
Now, I'll be the first to admit, I'm no Woodward or
Bernstein. However, I take great care to make sure that my
articles are well written, lucid and of high quality.
I've been fortunate enough to have my articles published by
some of the top websites and ezines on the Internet. These
publishers aren't publishing my articles because they like
me or think I'm a nice guy. They publish my articles because
they feel my content will enhance their website or ezine.
And contrary to what you may have read, everyone can't write
articles--at least not good ones. You have to be honest
enough with yourself to know what your strengths and
weaknesses are. If you know writing articles isn't one of
your strengths, don't continue to write anyway.
When you submit poorly written articles to publishers, you
not only waste their valuable time, you also make yourself
look bad in the process.
Writing articles is hard work, and if you want to write
articles and you're not good at it, then you need to work
hard to improve and develop your writing skills.
If you're not willing to put in the work that's required
yourself, then at the very least, hire a competent ghost
writer to write your articles for you.
