5 Tips Every Content Writer Should Know

Writing articles is a constant process of improving your content delivery style. Over the last 7 years of doing content writing article marketing, my content writing has improved tremendously as I've experimented and set my standards higher and higher.

I'd like to share the 5 content writing and article marketing tips that have helped my content writing improve the most:

1 - Create a word count limit for your web content or article. When you set a word count goal, it forces you to keep your focus. You'll find that your content is much more efficient.

2 - Say what you need to say as simply as possible. For those of us who like to elaborate and go off on tangents, this guideline can be a challenge, but definitely something to work towards!



3 - State the point of your content or article from the first sentence/paragraph. Your reader will look at your title and the first sentence to decide whether he wants to read your content or article. You greatly increase the likelihood that the reader will peruse reading content or article if you can rope him in right at the beginning. Resist the urge to write a lengthy and complicated introduction. Get to the point quickly.

4 - Teach your readers. Your main purpose in writing content and articles is to provide helpful information to your target readers. If your content fails to do this, it will not be successful on any other level. Focus on teaching in your articles - forget about promoting your business, getting backlinks, and hyping products. Think of common questions that your readers have, and then write your articles as solutions to those questions.

5 - Do not ignore the concluding paragraph of your content - experiment with different strategies that will subtly draw your reader from your article body into your resource box.

Here are a few ideas:

• Give your readers a homework assignment, something that they should do as a result of reading your article. Ideally, every article you write should bring about some sort of action from the reader. If the article is helpful, it will aid the reader in doing something that he needs to do.

• Ask the reader a question at the end of your article. This helps engage the reader; it is an invitation to further dialogue with you. If you do not create some sort of enticement to take another step towards you after reading your article, the reader may just read the article and move on to the next.

Your conclusion is a wrap-up of what you have said in your article, and it can also be a bridge between your article and your resource box. Asking a question at the end of your article is a very subtle way of saying to the reader, "Let's continue this conversation outside of this article." The next thing the reader sees is your resource box which offers a method of contacting you - your website.

These are the 5 things that I've learned over the years that have helped me write more effectively and more efficiently. If you are a beginner and are struggling to produce articles, it is encouraging to know that it gets easier the more you do it. You don't have to write for years and years before getting better. Just apply a few of the article marketing tips I've listed here, and you will immediately improve.

Your homework:

 This write-up is about my short but interesting brush with a UK printing firm that required a freelance content writer for their printing press. Most of the work that I had undertaken so far was related to business writing and so when they asked me to write



Of course writing web content is easy, but creating slogans for every page of their stationary, that too within few hours was challenging.

Car Rentals Coffs Harbour Airport Australia

A SEO article on Car Rentals Coffs Harbour Airport Australia

Owning to its fabulous costal line and offbeat beaches, the Coffs Harbour, Australia is an extremely popular tourist destination with families. The city has the right appeal and whether you are young or old, you’d just love lazing around here. The main attractions swing greatly in favour of water based fun, fuzzy wildlife and action sports.




The Coffs Harbour town is in the middle of Sydney (550 kms) and Brisbane (350 kms). Drivers in the rental cars are advised to steer the highway with caution as the traffic can sometimes get mad on this road. In addition to this, the quality of road varies after every 10 kms. If you are new to the area, then flying would be a better option as it will save time and ensure that you reach the destination without getting exhausted by the mind blowing traffic and stretchy jams.



The Coffs Harbour Airport (CFS) serves the provincial centre of Coffs Harbour. The airport is situated near Boambee in the south of Coffs Harbour. Since it is the only airport in the region, the CFS is one of the busiest airports around the corner. It is currently handling more than 30,000 aircraft movements in a year which include both cargo and passenger planes. There are two runways that run parallel to each other, from North to South.



In 2009, more than 300,000 passengers crossed the gates of the Coffs Harbour Airport which is almost the double of what it witnessed in 2004. In addition to the aviation facilities, the airport also has the provision for the choppers and offers aircraft maintenance services to its regular and chartered clients.

There is a secured 24 hours parking space available that can handle more than 500 cars at any given point of time. No advance booking is required as the drivers of car rentals can straightway park their vehicles in the parking.

To find a friendly and competent Australian car rental company, you can do a research on Google. Not many companies can trade with great integrity and determination that strives to give best possible car hire services to its customers. Many car hire companies offer free transfers from the airport to the rental centre. To avail this service, you can call car rental service provider from the terminal after collecting your luggage from the baggage claim area.

This SEO article was originally written for a SEO company that wanted bulk articles, but disappeared as soon as they got their work done without bothering to pay. Not sure if this is what we call business ethics. It is really shameful that such vendors get hired by companies which in turn fail to bother themselves with the source of original content.

Car Rentals Darling Harbour Australia

A SEO article on car rentals Darling Harbour Australia

There was a time when Darling Harbour was a thriving industrial port. It is now converted into a gigantic harbour-side leisure park that attracts families from around the country. Among its many interesting venues, best ones include Powerhouse museum, Sydney Aquarium, the Harbourside shopping complex, the Australian National Maritime Museum and the SeaWorld amusement park.

The infrastructure of the Darling Harbour park was modified in late 1980s when architects and visionaries combined their hands to give it a totally new look. It took a lot of labour, cash and politicking to give Darling Harbour the look it has today. Since the last two decades, the emphasis is on creating a place of unusual fun and enjoyment which is at the par with the international standards.



Dedicated to tourism and entertainment, Darling Harbour is ringed by pedestrian boardwalks by the sea. The walk from the Pyrmont Bridge is legendary as it is the only swing bridge crossing the inlet, thereby linking the two sides of the shore and forming a loop around the area. The area has been developed in such a way that it is virtually impossible for the tourists not to get impressed by its fantastic water views, parks and fountains. There is no dedicated place to swim but running under the fountain to wet yourself is acceptable on any warm day.

During the weekdays, you can hire a car and drive to Darling Harbour and visit its attractions, conventions and exhibitions. The real fun is one the weekend evenings when the parties don’t end and popular restaurants near water are jam filled with guest of all ages.

If you are planning for car rental and drive to Darling Harbour, check Google for best car rental deals. To reach Darling Harbour in your rental car, take the Harbour Bridge road from the north cross and move westwards till the Western Distributor and from there, the park is nearby. From the main city, drive till Market St (west) and follow the road signs to exit at Darling Harbour. If coming from the eastern or southern side of the city, take the Cross City Tunnel and follow the road signs to exit at Darling Harbour. There are many parking lots available at the park. For cheap car hire parking options, consider going to Ultimo. If interested in finding good deals, don’t forget to search for cheap car rentals and car rental discounts on the Internet.

Plagiarism in Essay Writing

As our society is progressing, so is the fall in ethics. People have become desperately attached to win-at-any-cost ethos. Sports personalities, politicians, professionals – no one is left untouched by this practice.


The cheating in essay writing has made its way in the education system as well. Gone are the days when essay writing was considered to be an art. Today, who likes to spend time in researching and presenting original ideas through essay writing when everyone knows the Internet can give them what they want at one fourth of the effort.

Almost in all the major British and American universities there has been a significant growth in the plagiarised cases detection across all faculties. Over the last five years or so, the changed outlook of students towards education in general and writing in particular has seen a significant tilt. Almost 90% students, though are honest in other dealings, are caught in the act of cheating annually.

The word plagiarism has its roots in the Latin plagiaries, referring to someone who has abducted a child, a kidnapper in other words. Today, in the world of essay writing the plagiarist is seen as someone who has snatched the work of someone else and given it its own name. Students sometimes commit plagiarism in essay writing by using the academic thinking of someone else without acknowledging. Other common methods include copying and downloading from net. There is also a trend of paying someone else for own essay writing, which is justifiable as long as the other party does not copy it from some other resource.

To find such a resource can be made easy from being tedious if you know where to search. The author is a seasoned writer who has written hundreds of essays, white papers, case studies for students and companies. She believes in creating documents that gently induce client’s personality in them.

Why Do Companies Need a Professional SEO Content Writer?

I have been working as a SEO content writer for the last four years and nothing disappoints me more than SEO content written haphazardly. Usually I come across pages that have been written only to attract traffic but not to keep them enticed.


A simple question that every SEO content writer should ask himself or herself – even if I make people come to this site, how am I going to keep them hooked? Consumers have a lot of options and they don’t have time to read everything.

While it is true that world is a BIG place and there are many customers. So if one goes, another one would come and so, why should we, as a company, invest our resources on finding a good SEO content writer? Writing is all about placing matter from one page to another and even my techie guy can do it.

Well, your thinking can yield you good results only if you are deliberately trying to ignore the marketing trends of 2010. If your idea of doing business is to cater to your immediate neighbourhood and your extended family, then yes – even your brother-in-law can be the SEO content writer for your company.
