You’re sitting in front of your computer, and you have just made a snack. Now you’re ready be inspired. You are going to compose an article!
I mean, how difficult can it be, right? You’re an expert in your niche, a island of knowledge – yet amongst all of that understanding and personal experience, it feels so difficult to put 500 words on a bit of paper about any kind of subject. If this is the case, you have Writers Block…
So, at this stage, what do we consider doing?
1. Throwing the laptop out the window (not the best solution).
2. Stare into space for a while longer trying hard to concentrate, in the hope that something will miraculously pop into your head for the first paragraph – or even the first line for that matter. But, nothing happens…
3. You outsource your writing to a virtual assistant.
Ok, I don’t know about you, but 3 sounds like a pretty good deal. You’d be surprised if you knew how many people on the internet take full advantage of the perks of article marketing – who don’t ever actually compose any articles themselves. It doesn’t mean that they don’t know what they’re talking about; they simply don’t know how to convey their ideas through an article. If you’re not a natural writer, and you would like to take advantage of article marketing, then option 3 is a no-brainer.
So, in a nutshell, all you need is to find a writer, however, this is not as easy as it sounds. Article marketing entails following certain specific rules which must be obeyed. One of these rules is submitting unique content. I have come across several instances where people have bought articles and attempted to submit them, where unfortunately, some or all of those articles were rejected due to duplicate content. How is this possible? I will give you a few instances…
a.) The so called “Ghostwriter” has bought or downloaded PLR (Private Label Rights) articles, changed a few words here and there, and then tried to pass them off as unique.
b.) The Ghostwriter did perhaps write the articles – but sold (and still sells) them to anyone who is willing to buy in order to generate revenue. Unsuspecting folk often buy and publish those thinking they have a one-off unique content source.
c.) The Ghostwriter didn’t write anything at all, but just copied and pasted a free reprint article from a directory somewhere. So, how do you know if your articles are unique or not? Services such as Copyscape provide valuable tools for the checking of potentially plagiarised online material. Always send your articles through a specialised service such as this to make sure – before you publish, that each article is 100% unique. If it isn’t, then you need to be paying a visit to the ghostwriter for a refund.
Finding an excellent quality article writing service that gives you real value for money can be difficult, but once you have a top-notch provider, your article campaign should be off to an excellent start.
