Article Writing - Easily Read Articles - Benefit #6 of a 7 Tips Article

Articles on the internet simply must be easy to read. If an article is not easily read, it does not get read.

Get it?

The Three Most Common Mistakes

There are three mistakes writers typically make that causes their article to be difficult to read on the internet.

Mistake 1 - Trying to convey too much information in one article - You do not have to say it all in one article. 300 - 550 words should do the trick. Much more than that and you give the impression to your reader that this will take too long to read.

Mistake 2 - Too many large paragraphs - If you have a paragraph with more than five sentences in it, break it in half. Large chunks of text are difficult to read on the screen.

Mistake 3 - No sub-headings - When the reader looks at an article and sees just one hunk of text, it gives the impression that it will take too long to read.

Why a 7 Tips Article is So Easily Read

1) A 7 tips article is naturally broken into 7 chunks - 7 small chunks of text are much easier on the eye than two or three large chunks of text.

2) The title of each tip becomes a sub-heading - With a 7 tips article you do not have to create sub-headings because they are already there.

3) Visually pleasing to the eye - In this article you are reading right now, I could have easily delivered it in a way that bunches these mistake and tips into just 2 - 3 sections. Instead there are several sections that are visually pleasing to the eye which results in your article being read more easily and thus more often.

You can avoid all these mistake and get all these benefits with a 7 tips article.

Hello,

To anyone who reads this blog and thinks it belongs to the real Reese Dunklin, I can assure you that this is not the case. Yes, I once had this URL, but I deleted the blog I ran because it was simply too much to mess with.

After ignoring it for months, I realized someone else had hijacked it and now, I can see, retitled it by my name and writing postings about me giving writing advice using my employer's name. I'd never do such a thing, for those who really know me and knew the blog items I posted.

You'd hope people would have other things to do, but alas, someone chooses to glom onto my name.

I just wanted to clarify for any unsuspecting person that this site is not authored by me, so please don't be duped into a case of mistaken identity.

The real Reese Dunklin
