Many people are finally realizing that article writing and submission is a great way to drive traffic to their website, get known in their area of expertise, and to get used to writing on a regular basis. But what they fail to do is to actually start and keep writing these articles. There are 3 mistakes I have noticed by people who write articles.

Thinking that each article has to be perfect - When you have an idea for an article make some notes and then just start writing. You will want to check for spelling and grammatical errors and then keep writing. You are not writing for a university or a publisher. These articles are meant to convey information to the reader on a subject that you have some knowledge about. They are better if they are not perfect. A conversational style is easier and more enjoyably read. Also, you can always edit your articles and submit them again at a later time. The most important thing is to get your article written and submitted.Not knowing what to write about - Anything that you are interested in and have knowledge about will make a good article. Look around your house and make some notes. Everything in your life can become an article. If you know about something there will be many people who will want to read what you write about it.Being afraid to write in an area that you have no expertise in - Even if you have just a small amount of knowledge and interest in something you can write an article that will reach another person in a special way. No one can write the way you can. If you write from your heart you will be reaching out to people who need to hear the information from you in your words. So go ahead and write. Write about your hobbies, your career, your family, and your life. These articles are an important part of our culture. Ten years ago you had to submit articles to publications that were looking for specific topics and styles of writing. Not anymore. Now we can all write about our thoughts, our interests, and our areas of expertise and know that people around the world will be able to benefit from what we have written. Take advantage of this great opportunity and write, write, write!
