The Easiest Way To Write Anything
You've got something to say. You know it. Your associates know
it.

But you don't regard yourself as "a writer."

How are you going to express your wisdom' .....

Want to become a better writer' Easy. Just write an article a
day.

When you write each and every day, you develop skill. Writing is
a skill that demands the easy interaction of various parts of
your brain. This interaction isn't developed without practice,
nor does the interaction seem to remain viable unless you
consistently practice --- unless you write every day.

I imagine writing skills as being like developing communication
pathways between different areas in the brain. If you don't
practice your writing daily, those pathways disappear, just like

===> Please write an article a day for seven days

No instruction I give you about getting ideas for articles, doing
research, or how to structure an article will do as much for you
as actually writing the things. Consistently. Day after day. For
at least seven days.

I promise you, at the end of the seven days you will be a better
writer. You've been reading articles in newspapers, magazines and
online for years. You know how it's done. Doing it will bring out
that hidden knowledge you have and make it consciously usable.

Slow Pokes: Short Story On The Changing World Of Writing

'No one will ever know who I am, I'm a nobody-writer from nowhere' I've had a thousand rejections from all the major publishers. It seems my destiny is never to be read, another nameless soul lost to .....

Writing articles is a skill you learn by doing, just as you
learned to tie your shoelaces and to walk.

I'd like you to write an article a day, of at least three hundred
words. That's just over one page.

Use the BEST formula below to get your articles written.

The BEST formula is an easy way to remember basic article
structure. I discovered it in June Duncan Owen's book How To
Write And Sell Articles (Penguin Books 1992, ISBN 014 0146 253).

Copywriting That Sells
The first thing I learnt after writing my first copy was ' it all boils down to how much your copy sells. No matter how good it is, no matter if it beats Hemingway and Dickens .....

===> The BAIT

The BAIT is also known as the hook. It's an intriguing beginning
for your article.

"Knowing Copywriting Basics - How To Get Ahead In Your Copy"
In order to get ahead in your copy writing business, you need to know copywriting basics. There are several things that all business owners need to know, and .....

As well as being the beginning of your article, it's also the
most important part. It tells the reader why she should care, why

paragraphs, in each article in those six magazines. All the baits
in the articles will be different.

Don't spend too long writing the bait for an article. I often
write the bait after I've finished an article. The only time you
need to spend a lot of time on getting your bait exactly right is
if you're writing an article for a major market. If you're
getting a dollar a word or more, it's worth it to write out ten
or twenty forms of bait and pick the best one.

When you're writing your seven articles for the next seven days -
-- and forever afterward --- don't be too enraptured or concerned
with the bait paragraph or paragraphs. Your bait is important,
but not so important that you stall over it, and never get around
to writing the article.

The bait can only become a stumbling block if you let it. Get the
article written, and then you can worry about individual
components like the ......
