As writers, we are constantly being told that writing articles to sell products is the key to internet success, with affiliate riches just around the next corner. If this is indeed the case, why not spend a little time learning how to write an article properly?

Article writing had become an internet phenomenon – a favourite way of marketing for many internet marketers and affiliates. With every popular art form comes problems, however – and make no mistake, writing articles is an art form in itself. The problems for this particular internet marketing formula arose when people started jumping on the bandwagon and churning out the kind of rubbish I see pouring into my article directories in a dismally regular fashion.

You may have seen them: short ‘articles’ of 300 words that don’t have the smallest crumb of information within them. Articles that are so obviously churned out by a piece of (generally substandard) software that they are laughable. Articles that are blatantly not written by the ‘author’ – and so on and so forth.

So what makes a good article? Well, for one thing, an article should contain a beginning, a middle and an end – just like any other story. Because that’s what an article is – a story in miniature, just like a short story, a novelette or a blockbuster epic. The same basic rules of writing apply – and if you don’t have that skill (or worse still can’t be bothered to acquire it) – then chances are that you will NEVER, EVER write good quality articles.

That’s a sobering thought. Yet the skills needed are easily learned and, with practice, writing articles will become second nature to you. You may never be another Stephen King or Clive Cussler – but by knowing how to write interesting, informative articles you will suddenly find that you stand head and shoulders above the vast, rolling sea of ‘article writers’ who can’t be bothered to learn how to write professionally.

Professionally? Why, yes – writing is a profession. Many people tend to think of only the big best-seller names as being professional writers but of course this isn’t true. Anyone who writes anything with a view to profit could be called a professional writer but to be a real pro you must invest some time and effort into your chosen profession – or join the ranks of the couldn’t-care-less.

So – an article must do several things but here are the most important:

It must capture a publisher’s eye. This may be an ezine publisher or webmaster or – if you’re really good as well as lucky! – a paper-based publisher. If it fails to do this, you have wasted your time.

It must capture and hold a reader. If a reader does not read your article right the way through to the resource box – where you get the chance to promote your goods or service – you have wasted your time.

It must be long enough – but not too long. In practice, a minimum of 600 and a maximum of 1,000 words is ideal. Many article directories (the main target of article writers) have minimum word count requirements. Send one to my directory that’s under 600 words and it gets deleted automatically – no matter how good the writer thinks it is! Why? Because – frankly – an article under 600 words shows, to many editors, very little effort being put into the article and not a lot of commitment.

It must NOT be an advertisment. The place to promote is in the resource box at the end. That’s not to say your article shouldn’t relate to your promotional item – it would be a foolish thing to write about hot air ballooning whilst trying to promote skindiving equipment (and yes I have seen instances very nearly as bad as that!).

It must be original. Start copying other people’s work at your peril – you will soon find that there is suddenly no-one accepting your ‘work’ any more. The fact is that copied work is also poor work – unless copied word for word (and only a fool would do that!) the ‘rewriting’ degrades the original piece, leaving you with a poor shadow of a thing that no-one will enjoy reading anyway. Write your own material!

The one real way to learn how to write articles is to learn to write, period. Accept this, put in the time necessary and you will find – sooner than you think! – that your articles start to flow more easily, your work-rate steps a gear and – best of all – you can look at your finished piece with pride and say ‘I wrote that!’

We all want the younger generation of today to enjoy a brighter future – a desire that’s exemplified, in part, by current actions in favour of environmental issues. After all, the planet will soon be in your children’s hands, and you want them to be able to enjoy it rather than have to work solely to fix problems created by generations before.

But of course, you can’t just hope that today’s younger generation will respect the environment in future years. Indeed, such a way of thinking must be refined throughout their young lives and into their adult years, so that as working adults, they’re prepared to make wise choices for their planet.

So what can you, as parents and teachers, do to instill an environmentally conscious way of thinking in your children and students? Of course, day-to-day practices in the home and in school – such as recycling, energy conservation and waste management – are a big part of the process. Children need to grow up knowing that they can ultimately make a big difference by way of day-to-day actions. But there’s even more you can do to teach youngsters about preserving the planet – and the opportunities are increasing by the day.

There are now countless education programmes designed not only to educate children and young adults about the current environmental issues, but also to give them the skill sets necessary to consider answers and devise solutions for the future. From in-class curriculums and clubs to after school activities, there are many opportunities for teachers and school officials to implement programmes in the classroom.

However, there are also many educational tools – such as computer programmes and games – that both parents and teachers can use when considering environmental education for their kids. What’s more, there are countless opportunities for children and young adults to take part in challenges and competitions regarding environmental issues, ultimately encouraging them to be even more proactive regarding such issues in the future.

Of course, parents and teachers want to see their students thrive – and indeed, this now goes beyond personal growth and future careers. You also want to see younger generations enjoy the planet without constantly having to worry about its degeneration and ultimate demise. So if you can teach kids and young adults today about preserving the environment tomorrow, you can more successfully help clear a brighter path for the future.

When it comes to choosing the hobby you feel is best to occupy your precious and limited spare time, there are many factors that should contribute to your decision. A hobby is an investment of time. It also can be an investment of money and commitment. Many people choose to dabble in more than one type of hobby. It can be a necessary part of selecting the hobby that is right for you.

Hobbies are usually an activity of some sort that brings out a certain skill that you have. When you have a talent like painting or woodworking it can be easy to determine which hobby suits your skill. However, hobbies don’t have to be skill related. All that really matters is that you have a driving passion that encourages you to create. Skill can be developed and challenged as you go along. It is not a necessary requirement. A hobby is fitting because you love it, not because you’re a professional at it.

Some people particularly enjoy taking part in hobbies that they can do in a group with others. It can be a lot more fun to join a hobby group than to sit alone in your basement. Look one up or start your own. It’s important to share interests and network with other hobby enthusiasts that do what you do. There are probably more people in your community that share your hobby than you know of.

Hobbies are generally an activity that you undertake because of the joy it brings you. Of course many people have discovered the joy that also comes with a hobby that earns you a living. Whether it’s full time, part time or not at all, you must decide if making money with your hobby applies to you. Just make sure you make the choice that fits your lifestyle and personal preference.

Most hobbies can easily be done within your own home, at your leisure. But most of the skilled hobbies like art, building or writing have a series of lessons or tutorials that you can take to further your skills. In some cases it’s a really good idea to take lessons, especially if you are clueless as to where or how to begin. Online guidance through websites or forums is another alternative for those who do not have the time for attending lessons in person. Step by step books for most hobbies can often be found in bookstores as well.

Choosing your hobby should be more than a decision. It’s something you put your whole self into. If you are not then perhaps you need a different hobby. Hobbies can be therapeutic, which is exactly what it should be. A hobby that drives you crazy is good if the outcome is desired. Otherwise, try something else. Having a passion for your hobby is crucial to bonding with the activity and allowing it to move you. If you’re not sure what you want to do, sample a few different things. A hobby is an extension of you that is waiting to be discovered.

Many personal finance articles have been written on the issue of money.  Can’t say I have been moved to action by many.  First I’d like to say it is ok that you feel down about the current situation about your personal finances.  I give you permission to feel your feeling for the next 24 hours and then pull yourself by your boot straps and let’s what we can do. 

There exist many a definition, I want to share with you  my personal finance definition:

Financial freedom is not an event, it is a skill.

I bet right now with the current economic situation you are saying to yourself, “I just wish I could the lotto!”  Boy don’t we all and yet statistics and personal finance facts show that the majority of people who win the lottery, end up broke and worse off before their winnings! Imagine that.  You among the many seeking wealth, riches, fame few people realize that money isn’t the solution to their problems;  the way you think about money is the problem and the solution. 

I can almost see you going oh yeah, give me the money and I’ll show you change in mindset!

My favorite entrepreneur of all times, Henry Ford was once asked, “What if you lost everything you own?” He responded without missing a beat: “I’d have it all back and more within 5 years.”

Being a master of your own personal finance is not about what is in the bank; it’s about the ability to acquire the skill that will show you how to produce new streams of income and wealth based on your knowledge and experience.

So before we go any further on this issue let us tackle the real problem here that is impeding your personal finance for good!  Why you might ask?  Well without the mastery of these 5 steps, your desire for your goal for financial success and financial freedom is highly unlikely!  This is why big players in any industry have coaches, Oprah has a life coach, football players and basketball players have coaches and mentors.  Tiger woods after every bad game will go in for coaching and training.  Why?  Those who achieve great financial success do not go it alone.  They always have a team.  Those who achieve great poverty have the do it yourself mentality!

Why is it important to plan personal finances?

5 Steps That Will Guarantee You Become Master Your Personal Finances

1. How do you think about money? Say you come up with an idea to do something. Do you think that will never work?  Are you afraid to follow through?  Are you scared of loosing money or do you see every dollar spent as an investment?

2. How do you manage and invest your time?  The average man has at his disposal  6 discretionary hours.  This is time they can do whatever they want.  No work, no chores etc.  Many will watch T.V., attend pricey sports events, spend money on meals at a restaurant and movies, see where I am going with this? Do you do personal finance budgeting?

3. How do you leverage the talents and life experiences you ALREADY POSSESS?
Most people see their experiences as failures.  They only talk of how they tried to do something as failed.  Thomas Edison failed more than I care to count, and yet he persisted to light the whole world. Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Thomas A. Edison

4. Do you have a mentor and/or coach with a proven personal finance curriculum? This is the true measure of your desire for financial freedom.  This is where you literally put your money where your mouth is, can’t afford a mentor you say?  Well what was the last book you read? Gossip magazines do not count as literature sorry ?!

5. What do you think is “risky,” and what do you think is “safe and secure”?  Most people never break into the realm of the 5% wealthy group who own 95% of  the worlds resources because they want to play it safe.  They want the money, the fame, the accolades but they feel they should not have to go through the process of creating this wealth.  No wonder the internet and other places are full of scams and get rich quick opportunities.  Remember this success does not  happen overnight, but one night success does happen.  Someone once said to me, it takes 3 years to be an overnight success!

Most that is good in life comes from men’s ability to make their fellows share their thoughts and feelings. But it is not always an easy thing to make others see how we feel or think. The young child is called an infant, a word that means unable to speak. Half his miseries arise from his inability to communicate his notions. Men are but children of a larger growth, and much of their misery results from inability to tell what they think or feel. In a sense the case is worse for the man than for the child. The child makes gestures and grimaces to help his meaning out, but the grown man has to communicate by letters and other compositions.

Both in English writing and speaking there are many special laws that must be observed if there is to be real communication. The special laws of spoken language are not so numerous as those of written language. Written language has to be much more careful than spoken; the writer has no chance of correcting himself on the spot if not understood. All writing consists of sentences that may be defined as series of words so arranged that they express a thought. Sentences are the basis of written and spoken language. Words do not make sentences unless they are arranged in accordance with the rules of grammar, logic, or common sense. Nevertheless knowledge of how to communicate by written words is a very great help in communicating orally.

The art of communicating by means of written English words is called English composition, or rhetoric. A matter of prime importance to each man is that, in business or in society, he should be able to say or write exactly what he means. A businessman may lose money by failing to make himself clearly understood; misunderstandings and quarrels arise between friends because some one has failed to write just what he meant; a man is liable to be taken for a boor if he abuses the English language.

Writing is a trade in which every educated man, woman, and child should be skilled. Writing is a trade, which any one can master if he goes about it in the right way. It is true that writing skill is often the only trade of some people like the poets, novelists, newspaper reporters and editors. These might be called specialists in writing, and writing is their main occupation and way of making a living. But writing skill is a universal trade and it is necessary for every person to know it to a certain extent.

A person will never regret the time he spends in perfecting his instrument of expression. He should work steadily toward the point where he may come to have an abiding love for that which is lucid and beautiful in expression by words. No matter how practical the life he plans to lead, the power of writing down his ideas in good English, in a way that will leave no doubt as to what he meant and how earnestly he meant it, will always profit him.

Writing softwares like English writing software or business writing software with text enrichment tool can be used for writing a good personal or business communication. Writing software can also be used to check and correct English grammar, spellings and for proofreading.
