How do you write you're content?

without a 're in your.

Seriously, though. You should get some writing lessons before you even consider trying to make money online. You can also try to outsource writing content, but it costs money. I'm not trying to sound harsh but don't run before you can walk.

All the best,

I prefer to use the WordPress new post option to write as there is everything in it, I might need during writing and after writing the whole post, I check it via spell check in WordPress and at last I copy and paste the content in the Microsoft Word for the last check for spelling or any other errors. So, I write it myself.

But in the coming days I would start guest posting on my blog. So, that my readers would write for my blog and get benefited with their guest posts.

I like to make notes on my ipad note pad and then email it to myself to later check om MIcrosoft Word before its published... Therefore it can be checked and double checked

People don't know you personally so the only thing they have to judge you by is what is on your website. Perhaps unfair, but true. If your written content is filled with spelling and grammatical errors they will tend to think that you aren't professional and you don't know what you're doing. The best way to give the impression of being knowledgeable is to have a good grasp on the language your site is written in. It also helps to just completely avoid the use of contractions if you are not sure when to use which one. Just because they sound the same doesn't mean they have the same meaning.

You do not have to be an English major, or a scholar in whatever language your site is in, but filling it with errors in the most basic areas (like the language) is a sure path to being unsuccessful. People want to purchase from perceived experts, not the class drop out. If you don't know the language your site is in, ask for help. I wouldn't dare try to do a site in Spanish because I don't know the language, but I excel at English and can alter my use of the written word to give the impression I am either a Harvard English professor or a 14 year old boy on the BMX circuit depending on who my audience is. It's not rocket science, but it is necessary if you want to connect with your target buyer.

I always write mine in notepad with wordwrap checked and then copy & paste into my WP blog after unchecking the wordwrap. It always pastes as I have written it and I have less problems that way than pasting from Word.

I then do the headings and links in the editor.

I do only one thing for hire a person from Fiverr.
That's it.

I like to write mine in Open Office and then when it's ready, can also make a PDF copy of what I just finished. Then I can offer a PDF version to blog subscribers.

Drafts are written in OpenOffice so that I can take advantage of the spelling, grammar, word count and thesaurus tools. But because I am either writing for Wordpress or PLR articles, I save as .txt to remove any formatting issues.

Any copy and pasting is done then from the .txt file in notepad, and the PLR packs are sold as .txt files

I write the content in Word and then transfer it to wherever I'm putting it and format it where I post it, to make it look better/easier to read/add images etc.

I don't write as much as I did in the beginning of my IM career, but I still do some writing.

What I normally do is write directly in the Wordpress editor, so I can preview it at any time I want to. I've found this the best way for me, because I can just write and make it look neat at the same time.

Without typos in the title.

I used to use Notepad (with text wrap off) to write my content. Now I am using MS Office 2013 and just loving it.

Personally the easiest way is to get it down somewhere, e.g. on a mindmap, in a Word document as a rough draft that starts with the headers and then the 'meat' is added later, or by using Audacity, the audio software to capture the thoughts which I can then listen to and move things a step forward and more concrete or if the recording is really long, I get it transcribed on Fiverr.com.

The claws are definitely out in this thread!

I outsource all the copy writing or any article writing thing to marketplaces like Elance, oDesk. Also sometime I use fiverr.

I can't write English properly, so I have only 1 choice is outsourcing.
If I use, I use notepad because it won't add any format inside it.

Typically write in Notepad (has minimal markup) and then cut&paste into WP + images I use. Mix this up with videos and audio podcasts to offer variety to my readers/followers.

I like having plain text versions of my content as I can (and often do) re-purpose it in time (bundle it into reports, add it to ebooks, turn it into slide presentations, syndicate it on other platforms, etc...)

Once in a while I write directly in the WP Editor, but I try not to do this - to have the discipline to save local copies in Notepad.

I never write my own articles... I am a perfectionist and it always takes me way too much time to complete.

I also use Fiverr, Vworker (now Frelancer.com) and some Fiverr alternative sites

Hi,
I always write my posts in notepad and check it with wordwrap and only then copy & paste into my blog. That way I have copies of my post for Backup reasons. Until now I hadn't any problems copying and pasting from notepad.
Hopefully I helped.

Good Luck,

Hi there!

I use many different ways to avoid BOREDOM! Let's pick a topic: Cruises!

I'll go read some sites on cruises but won't focus on anything! I'll then brainstorm ideas on PAPER, not on computer!

Depending on the kind of article, or content my clients need, I'll write 4 or more points. Then, I'll research these specifically. I'll read 3 or 4 articles, blog posts or authority sites on that particular point. I do the same for all other points! Sometimes, if the topic is really familiar then, I'll spend less time doing so!

I use instinct and creativity too and I write longhand sometimes when I don't want to hit those black keys! I don't know if you've ever tried it, but there is a real connection between the brain and your hand and writing this way when you have done and narrowed down your research is a piece of cake! And, it's usually far more original than when I type ( for me at least)!

I also use mind maps and little drawings to create my articles outlines! I hate getting bored so that's really good! It's a nice way of expressing yourself without being influenced by the Internet and what someone has said or written!

I never re-write other people's articles! This is called stealing!

When I am done, I go back to my computer and write and edit and that's my favorite part because I know what I have done is original, totally original!

There is a really good article that's been published today by Beth Hayden for CopyBlogger ! Here it is!

Hope this helps!

Happy writing!

Usually in Word, and save it away, then copy to notepad and paste (stops some formatting issues)

So easy! Write a content that really relates to your website.

I write everything on OO, and save it in a file system. I copy and paste on my site........and if I decide to put it on EA or something, I copy and paste again. At that point if I don't have an appropriate resource box I also put that on the OO page with the appropriate keywords so I can just copy and paste at any time I decide to do anything else with it.

I prefer to write directly in the Wordpress post editor. And I saved it as Draft until I finalized it. Why? because you will find a lot of tools inside your dashboard. The only thing is, do not publish it until you reviewed and finalized your post.

and here I thought The Student Room were elitist when it comes to spelling and grammar mistakes....

I like to write articles in MS Word then copy and paste them into wordpress. This way I have a copy saved on my computer just in case.

I don't like your attitude - YOU'RE a dashboard!

Really though, you got it wrong multiple times
Your=possessive - this is YOUR post, this is YOUR dashboard
You're = You Are - You're posting in the warrior forum, I hope you're having a great day

Hello nitrojeff,

As was already mentioned, watch your use of homophones (your, you're) - need to make sure those are right in your writing.

I usually like to use MS Word/OpenOffice because it's easier to see paragraphs and such as compared to Notepad. However, MS Word/OpenOffice can leave additional HTML code, so I remove that by pasting it into Notepad first, then pasting to whether I need the text.

This is often how I write articles/blog entries for clients (unless, of course, they want the text in .doc or .docx format).

Hope this helps- good luck with your writing, whether you choose to write it yourself, outsource it, or both. Just focus on quality (within a reasonable amount of time, of course), and you'll do well!

Take care,

Joe Chengery

Hi, It's easier for me to write my content on Microsoft Word or on Google Drive because your content will automatically be saved. After i finished writing, i proof read everything to make sure everything is well written, i also use a PROOF READING SOFTWARE to make it more easier. Here's one great proof reading software Grammar and Spell Checker for Better English Communication | Ginger Software try it.

I have to agree here because if you don't write well, then it will definitely affect your sales. If you write material that isn't easy to read and easy to understand, then how on Earth can you expect others to buy it and read it?

The rule of thumb is is that you write between the 5th and 7th grade levels because those grade levels are the most effective reading levels that most people use for reading.

Now if you're writing scientific material that requires more complex language, then that's different. However, for most things material written in the 5th or 7th grade level is quite suitable for most people.

There are more advanced options if you choose MS words, so you can use and advanced format use and get the freedom of writing better than simple notepad. I only outsource my research data and I don't want to outsource the writing itself. And also, brainstorming is better if I use mind mapping application.

An inspiration to write usually come to me when I am blogging, so I just write straight from my dashboard as well as research my data on one browser. Inspiration come to me when I wander around internet and read people's thread. The WordPress dashboard have a good enough tools to keep me from distraction.

I use Microsoft Word, I usually go to google keywords and look for keywords that I have a chance to rank for then create sub-topics afterwards i proceed to write the article.

I write everything in MS word....But lately I have been using Google docs...

I like to open up LibreOffice Writer (Linux user here), research online, take plenty of notes, open another blank document, ensure both can be clearly seen on the screen and then get writing.

I very rarely start typing away in Wordpress.

Don't wing it or if something happens to your website you won't have a back-up copy.
