Bob Hmilton is a respecter expert on writing excelent articles. so today i will be featuring his article on the topic above please coment on this article after reading through it.
''Early on in your article writing you likely discovered the importance of creating a comfortable, relaxing environment for your writing efforts. It is likely you also found your limits as an article writer. Likely you experienced writer's block after writing for hours and hours without a break. Or possibly writer's block hit you after working many days in a row without a break. But now all of that is under control and your writing is going smoothly. You've had the practice to write articles that are gaining notice. But no matter how hard you push yourself you've likely also hit a wall and cannot create even one more article in a day. That's where this article comes in. Read on for 3 excellent tips to grow your writing results even more.
Tip #1) Weigh your options carefully before picking your topic. Spend the time required to select a topic you know well. Investing a few minutes upfront to hone in on something you thoroughly understand can save a great deal of time associated with research and fact finding for topics you don't know as well. You will find your article writing results for both quality and quantity excel using this strategy. Just remember; your ultimate goal as an article writer is to attract the attention of your desired readers. Make sure you are dead-on with the topics that most interest your targeted audience as well.
Tip #2) Write multiple articles on a single topic. If you've followed tip #1 you know your selected topic well. So now it is time to leverage that knowledge even more. Develop your article topics as a series of articles that step through your chosen topic rather than just focusing on a single aspect. Article creation done in this way is much easier. Basically rather than writing only 300-500 words on your topic your series of articles runs for 2000-3000 words or even more that are broken into a group of articles. Not only is it faster and easier to write using this technique, but if you've selected a topic of interest to your readers, they will appreciate the more thorough coverage of the topic.
Tip #3) Manage the length of your articles carefully. Don't allow yourself to create articles that run on and on into the many hundreds of words. Cap your articles at 300-500 words and then use any additional words to start a new article. You'll find 300-500 words will quickly become comfortable for you. In fact you'll soon find yourself at the conclusion of your writing for that topic as you approach your article conclusion.
Put these tips to work in your efforts as an article writer. You will soon find the number of articles you've written beginning to increase. You will also find the overall quality of your article writing improves.
To your success as an article writer!''

some things about twitter that you need to khow
1. Set up your profile
The first thing you need to do is to set up that profile. See that bar on top of your twitter page? Click Settings and start filling up your profile. The notable areas in here are URL, bio, picture and design. Put up a link to your site or blog in here along with a brief description. Upload a picture to differentiate yourself from the others and then tweak your Twitter design. Like any other social networking site, it is important to completely express what you are or what you stand for in your profile.
2. Follow people with similar interests
Now that you have a profile, start following people. You can find these people in Twitter directories. I use Twellow and JustTweetIt. These sites can introduce you to Twitter users that have the same interest as yours. Follow these people and observe their tweets. You may also try following who these people follow but read up their descriptions and visit their blogs to make sure you’re still on the right niche. Being on the right niche will make it easy for you to build a community with a similar interest.
3. Get into the conversation
So now that you are following people, you will now see some tweets on your board. Read up on what the people your following are up to and reply if it interests you. For example, a person narrates how he is going to conduct a meeting. You may then reply with ideas. When someone asks a question, don’t hesitate to answer if you know it. Don’t be afraid to interact.
4. Don’t spam
Spam is the cause of many unfollows on Twitter. There is a character limit for a reason. Do not send repeated messages to people. Do not constantly direct message (DM) them with links.
5. Update daily
Alright so you’re blending in the community. Now update daily if possible. I know some Twitter users who unfollow because of inactivity. Reply to people and update people with what’s going on with your life. Soon you’ll be recognized and you’ll get some follows.
6. Find the latest buzz and contribute
Now it’s your time to contribute. Find a topic that will interest your niche and tweet it. Since you have established relationships with your followers (through replies), you will get more attention. It’s a nice strategy to always append “please retweet” at the end of your tweet. There will be some people who will be so interested that they will retweet. There are others who will reply to you about the link you tweeted. But you are not a “nobody” anymore. You are not just talking to yourself. People are now responding to your tweets.
7. Help other people out
The famous saying “Do unto others what you want others to do unto you” holds here. Before you can receive retweets, you must help others first by retweeting their messages. Help the people in your niche. One day you’ll be surprised on how eager they are to help you back.
8. Create relationships
Now it’s time to create constant connections. Soon you will find that some users are more active than others. You will get to talk with the same group of people at the same time every night. But don’t get bored. Interact with these people and create relationships. Ask how they are doing and try to touch on their interests.
9. Integrate Twitter with other social networks
Have a blog? Then post to Twitter when you have a post that will interest your niche. Have a Facebook profile? Then ask people to add you. Twitter is really a vital part of web 2.0. It can serve as the core. It can let you build relationships that can branch out to other social networks.
10. Establish relationships even outside Twitter
Have a lot of friends on Twitter? Then take it to another level. Ask for their messenger and talk to these people on a more intimate level. Call them through Skype or even arrange a meet-up. Twitter can create real relationships.
Congratulations! You are now an official member of the Twitter community. You talk, act, think and breathe like us. Perhaps you find yourself spending every five minutes updating Twitter on what you are doing. But I guess I’ll save Twitter addiction for next time.
