Some good points here. One of the things I find a lot of when reading articles is that many authors try to presell in their articles.

The article should in my opinion offer the answer to a problem and leave the reader wanting to know more.

Great value always results in great sales. People hate being sold to, especially in a high-pressure way!

You're totally right, articles should be written as naturally and useful to the reader as possible.

Here's another little nugget which will improve what you write instantly...

Read back what you write, and look for all instances of the word "that."

9 times out of 10 you can eliminate it. I promise your writing will read much better!

You're right. Long ago I get up the word "that" as a mis-spelling in my personal Word dictionary. This shows all instances picked out in red, ready for review.

An age old blueprint for writing a good article:

1. Introduction - Tell them what you are going to tell them.
2. Body - Tell them.
3. Conclusion - Tell them what you have told them.

One other tip, if you want to get paid more as an article writer:

Niche Down.

Clarify as much as possible What You Do. Then you can develop a following and command higher prices. Try to be everything and you'll be nothing.

For example, I write scientific and technical articles for (guess what) scientific and testing equipment firms. Sometimes I write about food and wine for (surprise again) restaurants and wineries or online stores. And that's it. This is how you move out of the 5 cents a word realm.

Thanks

  I would suggest reading as much as possible, if you have any native english friends try talk with them or attend english classes.

I do accept your 1st point I used to correct my grammar while writing the article it self this leads me to waste most of my time and and in some cases i used to forget the main points that i though to mention in my article. There are some cases which i stopped writing the article as i feel some disturbed

after reading few articles "how to improve writing skills i came to know my defect and i started minimizing it. Now the work out put is good productive

True words. distraction is by all means a very bad thing to happen while writing ... it really stops your way of thinking and of what you would have written down

When I started marketing I wrote badly in english since then I improved a lot. I did few of the things you mentioned including reading tones and tones of content.

Also other things I did was to watched movies in english without subtitles. I also checked other writers articles and how they wrote. Then I tried to imitate their style.

I must say that for a few months the only thing that existed for me was english. I made an effort to even start thinking in english and avoid my main language. It has helped me a lot and now in days I notice a huge difference.

Quite honestly you don't need to be a great writer to have success online. I see many successful IM and their writing is pretty basic. It's more important to keep your content simple and easy to read than anything else.

Thanks
