  • Article Directory – How To Use An Article Directory To Prove Your Expertise
    posted by Kris Nickerson

Anyone and everyone claims to be an expert today. All it takes is a little money. You must have come across various websites offering online degrees and PhD’s, so how does it really matter?

The only way to prove your expertise on the internet’s public domain is to publish the evidence of it. By writing article son your subject of expertise and publishing on the internet, you can reap rich rewards by not only enhancing your stature as an expert but also by earning a lot of money in the process. You might not necessarily write thesis on the chosen subject but at least you can show your knowledge and experience in the field through this medium.

What If you cannot write?

Not able to write, especially in English can be a definite disadvantage on the internet. You may be a real expert in oil refining, but if you cannot express in writing, how does the world recognize this. There are a lot of people who do not write, not because they can’t but because they are afraid to. A lot of psychological problems like dyslexia etc also exist. Well, not to fret. There is a way out too.

There are a lot of people out there who know how to write and they do it for a living. You can hire a copywriter, explain what needs to be written and ask them to write. Although you are unable to write, you certainly can judge a good writer by his or her writing skills.

You could also try buying a few PLR articles or source your articles from various article directories across the internet. These articles are built in a way to appeal to the search engines. All you need to do is to edit them and make them suit your purpose. You could do this yourself or again take help of a hired copywriter.

This process also known as ghost writing, can be used with your byline or resource box that points to your URL, thus driving traffic to your site while enhancing your expert status with search engines.

What are Article Directories?

You may come across sites that offer free content on the internet. These are directories that have articles written by experts in various fields. They are normally classified and offer good quality content. You can use the content from article directories on your website, but keeping them intact along with the resource box that may have a link to the site of the author. The only hitch is that you are having some other expert’s article on your site with a link that may drive your customers to them.

Using the article directory, the other way round is more profitable. You should submit batches of articles in your field of expertise on these directories and let customers come to you through others websites that may use your articles for content.

Using article directories either way, is always profitable depending on your field of expertise and business plan.

  • Can I include actual quotes from a news article in a fictitious story based upon the news article?
    posted by Kris Nickerson

I have written a short story (fiction) based upon an actual event that was covered by the news. In my story, I wish to include actual quotes from the news article that was written about that event. What are the rules governing this? Please advise and give me some good sources of reference, if you can. Thank You.

Public information is free. You can quote from any source provided you keep the information true. You can only be sued if you misquote or write information that you cannot prove is true.

Hope this helps!

  • What do you find interesting in a magazine article?
    posted by Kris Nickerson

I have to write a 1500-word would-be magazine article for my writing class in college, and it needs to be interesting. I know what I’m supposed to do, I just lack a topic. So, what, if anything, would keep you reading this long of an article in a magazine? What topics are interesting?

When I purchase the Seventeen magazines every month, usually I love the horoscope section & any freebies because for the fun. But in terms of article topics, real life stories on sensitive or difficult issues that teens might have faced and/or overcome (like hazing, texting while driving, etc.) and articles where it’s taught me something valuable or simply just expanded my knowledge are what interests me the most.

  • What to cite when the author of the article is used in the sentence?
    posted by Kris Nickerson

I can’t seem to find this on the OWL site. I’m citing form an Internet article on NPR by Andrei Codrescu, and in my sentence I’ve already mentioned his name. Do I still need to cite anything in parenthesis even though the article doesn’t have any pages? Thanks!

You would omit his name, but I would cite the paragraph number if you don’t have pagination.
