Thanks, Chris! That was quick. I think hardly a few minutes had elapsed between my posting that and your picking it up. More power to blogs! :-)

This whole article “how to” thing is starting to bug me. Most “authors” who post to EzineArticles are NOT professional writers. Having said that, why try to be. Just write from the heart on a topic you know and brain dump 300-400 words. Then edit. Or not.

Not too complicated.

We need to be careful not to confuse folks, I am beginning to align myself with Edward’s last thought here. I have written articles that are 1500 to 3000 works, articles that were 201 words before the mandatory 250 word rule. Currently I like the 350 range, as it gives me an opportunity to complete a thought and enough juice to be fair to the reader. That seems to work well without being too long to not be picked up by Blogs or Ezine Publishers who just want a short article to fill a spot.

I am NOT a professional writer even though I have sold my works and co-authored a book, and have some other eBooks online and I agree that most of the 40,000 article authors here are not professional writers either. Try to keep it simple, use good judgement, edit and post. If you can have someone else read it and ask them if they get it first. If so post and go to the next.

Priya,

Not to mention you are on the other side of the planet!

You’re one of the very few marketers that I follow for best practices…in practice, meaning, I like that you keep changing your approach and you keep taking massive action. :-)

Excellent points, Priya. But then again, you always have great insights that others can greatly benefit from.

Priya is one of the professional marketers online, and the odd thing about her is that she is one of the few exceptionally honest people in that field.
Thanks Priya, Thanks Chris.

Priya,

Thank you for your good comment.

Although I tried to write articles into a few paragraphs of 2-3 sentences in Japanese, I have never consider about give them each titles.

I myself sometimes scan many blog articles, I feel it attractive to sum and highlight each paragraph essnce by titling.

Thanks again

Maus, I’m not familiar with formatting in Japanese, so I can’t offer my comments on that :-)

Thank you, Chris, Kathleen and all, for the wonderful words of encouragement. Wish all you good folks a very merry Christmas and New Year.
