Article Mistake #1 Bad english
The first thing you should take note about your article is that it should not have any spelling mistakes or grammatical error. Keep the language in your article consistent, If you are writing with the first person voice (I, Me), make sure you use it through out the article and not change.
Article Mistake #2 Too much hype, bragging and self-promotion.
If you are as good as you know you are, there is no reason to fill the body of the article with hype, gratuitous links to your site or blatant self-promotion. Readers are smart and will see right through your “hype-veil.”
Article Mistake #3 Give what they wants
Put yourself in your reader’s shoes and ask yourself, “What does this article offer me?” Research what your reader wants to read by doing survey’s with your own audience or do keyword search engine research to find what people are looking for.
Article Mistake #4 Making your article broad or superficial in content.
It’s better to go in-depth on a narrow topic. Define it. Explain it. Relate to it. Use bullet points or numbered lists. Offer a secret or expertise that you have around the topic. Be original in covering your topic as narrowly as possible in a way that has not been done by others.
Article Mistake #5 Lackluster article titles
The only reason that a reader will read your article is because of your article title. Your title needs to address your readers needs or wants. Use a catch title to attract more readers.
Article Mistake #6 Copying
Be original and write your own articles. Copying other people’s article is wrong and unoriginal.
Article Mistake #7 Don’t burn out the RESOURCE BOX by overloading it.
The resource box is there to let readers know where they can find your products or service or know more about you. You should not use it as a marketing avenue and insert too many affiliate links.
Even if you really want to have include your affiliate link, do it discreetly. Buy a domain and mask the affiliate link over it.
