Hi!

I have just begin to write articles and publish them at ezinearticles. I want to try out bum marketing.

I'm not a native english speaker but I guess I don't have to be. I would like your opinion on my articles. Are they good enough?

Here is an example

    If people come to your site, then it is working. If they don't, then it is not working.

    Practice makes perfect. If you have a friend that is a native English speaker, have them read through your articles for awhile. Mr. Rose is correct though, if your English is awful but you get a 30% CTR and deliver decent information, I think it's debatable if it matters.

      It's actually not the worst just some mistakes that are quite common on the web. You might want to try WhiteSmoke to keep you on track. Think they do a trial and they claim to be more effective than any other spelling & grammar check software.

    I don't think being a native english speaker makes you a good english writer. All native speakers are not good english writers and all non native english are not bad english writers. That's right. Practice makes a man perfect. Keep reading the articles of good writers and try getting how they use words, how they structure their sentences. You will surely get to learn a lot.

      I don't know what my clickrate is yet, because I just started out.

      So, you don't think it's to bad at least

      Yes, I know I have some grammar problems and I will try to get it better and better. I may need to learn more words as well because some time I think it's hard to express what a want in english.

      Thanks for your comments!

    Here is an example

    It would be "I have just begun to write...."

    However, the whole purpose of article writing is to get exposure for your site or product. Yes, the quality counts, but your writing is not bad. So go forward. The more you write (and read) in english, the better your skills will be.

    Good luck.

    Keep practicing and you should be okay. Watch more English TV and learn the nuances. You don't need to be a native English speaker or an English degree to make some monies in article marketing. Just keep practicing and learn about grammar everyday. Good luck!

    I would hate to put the burden on EzineArticles, but if they accept the article, it must be good enough. It would be best however to hire someone to proof read them. I know it costs, but it's better than getting them rejected.

    Here is an example

    There is one school of thought that if an article pains a viewer enough with iffy grammar and awkward syntax, and disjointed reasoning, they'll desperately click a link just to get away from it. Afraid to say, in an experiment I participated in with black-hat techniques that spewed out barely intelligible gibberish, it worked with bigtime ad$3nse $$$(I quickly bailed out of that experiment to avoid 600613 banishment).

    All you have to do is write some articles, and if they bring you the traffic etc, then its good enough. If you don't get any traffic then you will know its not good enough and you will need to take lessons, or pay someone to write for you.

    Hey man,

    How could you do this?

    You're promoting your EZ articles here in Warrior Forum to get some sales !! LOL

    I checked your EZ article and I clicked on the link in your resource box. Funny man .... it redirects one to recent ClickBank product from Michael Jones - The Cash Code with Affiliate Links !!! Really funny...

    So, EZ approves affiliate links and URL Redirection finally or they simply missed it tracking !!

      Ohh no, you got me....

      Seriously, I just wanted to know if my english is good enough but some more views isn't bad, lol.

      Yes, you can have affiliatelinks in your resource box if you redirect them from a top-domain like yoursite.com

    If EZA can accept the article, it's good enough.
    If not, you can always outsource to still make Bum Marketing works.

    I think you can be competent forthis job absolutely, although you are not a native English speaker.
    In fact, many online marketers here are not native English speakers but they can do a good job and achieve perfect results at last.
