Hi,

Im not english speaker, nor writer. But I want to create a website about guides , fixes for mostly pc games. I wrote a post to warrior forum before and most of english/american posters describe that I must be write my own unique articles in my own language. But I dont want to write in my native language because it doesnt get much money by ads. If I convert few dollars to my currency it makes good local money. Thats why I want to create english websites.
Some of the warrior forum members said that I can also write about step-by-step tutorials / fixes etc. Those kind of articles doesnt need much more quality grammar. Thats why I can write them.
So, here's that I need your help to my article's grammar , please tell your review / suggestions about my english article if its understandable, then I will continue posting posts like these. Thanks:::
Example of my own article:
Comprehensive Guide about "Rocket League" Game Errors, Fixes, How to's... -Newslopedy.com

Note: There are few more ones on my site. So please give me your suggestions .
Only native english writers please...

    My suggestion is to find a native speaking partner or pay someone to clean them up. There are a bunch of problems that need to be resolved, in my opinion.

      Thanks for your suggestion, I have few American friends but nobody have time to spare for me for free, hiring someone is too much costs if you dont earn any bucks from your workstation.

      So, can you tell me ; you can say is the article understandable? I mean if its still understandable then its okay for a newbie..

        Understandable for the most part but many native speakers will deem it untrustworthy and unbelievable simply due to the language. For example, I won't bookmark your site to go back and read anything - no offense intended.

        You really need to find a way to make it work or do it in your native language.

    People proofread for a living - it's not something they do for free just because it's convenient for you. If you're going to get anywhere in business, you need a huge dose of reality. We are not a social service, we are business people.

    Using articles from elsewhere shouldn't be done without the proper permission.

    You are heading down a long road of disappointment here.

    Okay Mark, I will do it in my own language and also the english site will still alive for test purposes until I get good english grammar.
    But I decided to create language articles inside of this website. What do you think about it? I will seperate it with folder like /mylanguage/ on newslopedy.

    Creating articles by translating from english to my language is a good idea.

    Here's a starting point in native language writing: http://tr.newslopedy.com

    English not better is not a big deal, only if there is someone who can understand what you say, and simple word, simple operation will be the best, i am not a native foreigner too, but i am very confident with my grammar, so if you need any help, leave a message to me

      No offense intended but you shouldn't be so confident with your grammar because it is pretty bad.

      I'm not being trying to be negative I'm just telling you that if you want to write in English and actually make any money over the long haul, there is a lot of work to do to get your language skills in shape. As an alternative you can hire someone to help you.

      I admire people that try to improve their skills by doing things like trying to learn a second language. I know it's difficult. Here I'm talking about it solely from a business standpoint.

    Well said Sal. I actually do get paid for proofreading/editing and I don't do it for free except for possibly good friends.

    If your English is not good, you need to find somebody who can fix it for you. You CAN'T trust friends as they may have the same issue.

    I'm not saying this to get work. You asked for advice and that is mine.
