I could’t agree with you more on this.

I find it annoying to read a blog post with tons of typos and grammatical errors. This shows me that the writer doesn’t care enough to check things over and therefore puts their credibility in question.

Your idea about writing a post and “sitting on it” overnight before posting is a good one. This is what I do now and it works very well. In fact, I’ll sometimes prepare a post several days in advance now.

Also, keep it simple, ALWAYS. Personally, I like to write the way I speak. In other words, I write my blogposts as is I were saying them, as if I were speaking with the reader. It really does help make the post more interesting and easier to read.

It has been my experience with your site. You have been a great inspiration to me. Thank you

I need to make sure my stuff is clear man.

Make use of structural elements. Lists, like in this post I’m writing my comment to, and sub-headings greatly help to navigate within an article.

It is a blog-driven, charity-based site honoring the servicemen & women of our (U.S.) Armed Forces. The blog’s content is specific: they submit their stories & testimonials of gratitude to the military. They explain how, in their words, the military made them better people: leaders, managers, organizers, etc.

I do, though, check for spelling for them- in case something is overlooked. But, they create the content. It’s their life stories, so it’s their words. For that, we promote what they are currently doing. Since most contributors so far have been fellow internet marketers, we promote their sites, etc.

That all said, when I create my other sites- (1280+ domains. Anyone wanna buy any? Ha!)- I will absolutely perform due dilligence when posting. I bought some copywriting courses as well to help me write better with clarity & focus.

Thanks!

Creating that outline first allows me to put things in the right order and stay focused.

I have come across many bloggers who write as if their heart is not really into it. A few misspellings could be pardoned but when in a single post there are more than ten blunders both in spellings and sentence construction then there is course for alarm.

I personally write in MS word, edit and then import to notepad before pasting into wordpress. The notepad is necessary as MS word most times adds some funny formatting which may not display well in wordpress.

Sweet tips,
