Gloria Thomas Anderson – Author Spotlight
One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that professional speakers are almost always a perfect candidate to be an idea EzineArticles expert author. Motivational speaker & writer Gloria Thomas-Anderson is a great example of this.
What I liked about Gloria’s profile & articles:
Completed profile, including author photo & extended description/bio.
Gloria added her ISBN of her most recent works, Passion For Your Purpose: Discovering Peace, Direction and Balance in your life.
If you’ve followed this blog discussion, you know it’s hard to write a high quality authentic article under 500 words…but Gloria has mastered this.
If I was Gloria’s article writing/marketing coach: I’d recommend adding more vertical spaces between her numbered lists of items (within her articles); to be careful on article title character limits (and if you hit a limit, then change the title to fit the limit rather than cutting a word in half); to be careful on the vertical length of her resource box as it gives the appearance of a 50/50 ratio to content when a 15/85 ratio is an ideal target; and lastly, to be adding consistently to her article inventory each year.
This is the kind of author that our audience begs us for more. :)
Hi Chris!
I tried to write 2 very short articles as Suzanne from the Summer Challenge told us we should write, but my shorter one was a 441 words article. She told us they had to be 250 words articles! I can’t write such a short article! The subjects I write about require explanations.
I like to give full information in my articles because it gives them value.
Usually my articles have to be 600 ‚¬€ 1000 words if I want to say something really substantial.
I think it’s not hard to write short articles successfully, but they usually are too poor comparing with the longer ones, if we consider the amount of information we give.
Their value is important because only if they are very good they can be on Google’s first page with only 2 or 3 basic keywords. I prefer to write articles of that kind than shorter and simpler ones which don’t have the chance to have a good ranking, because there is too much competition in my field.
