How to Write Feature Articles
by Jennifer Mattern @ All Freelance Writing article ideasOne of the most lucrative projects for freelance writers is writing feature articles. Of course, this is not always true. There are some clients that don’t pay as much as the industry average; this is to be expected. But overall, I have found that writing feature articles is a great way to increase income while having a great time along the way.
Write Articles, Market Smarter
by Karri Flatla @ Snap VA article ideasmarketingIf you’re an entrepreneur with a literary flare, writing articles is an affordable, highly effective marketing tool. You can revise and rewrite as many times as it takes to present your shiniest, smartest, most confident self. Too bad you don’t have a gargantuan subscriber list yet for your new Ezine! Or maybe you have articles sitting in a folder somewhere on your computer waiting to see the light of day (gasp!). Your written work can be the dangling carrot that converts prospects into clients, and marketing it as such is less work than you may realize.

Plan Your Blog
by Samar Owais @ The Writing Base article ideasWhen starting a blog, the primary fear of a blogger is that they won’t have enough to say to keep updating it regularly. I was no different. This fear was the major part of my decision to only update this blog two to three times a week.
How to Use Sticky Posts in Blogger
by Susan Johnston @ The Urban Muse article ideasI’ve admired Michelle Rafter’s use of sticky posts for awhile, but I only recently discovered how to create one in Blogger. It’s ridiculously easy, even if you’re not a tech person, but few Blogger users actually use them. I think it’s a brilliant way to welcome blog readers, promote certain posts, or call out other links. Yes, you can include that in your sidebar, too, but it’s easy for things to get buried, and a sticky post is more prominent. As you publish new posts, your sticky post remains at the top so you have more control over the reader’s experience. Plus, it’s great for information that doesn’t need a full post. I plan to change the sticky message every week or so to keep things fresh.

by Laura Fabiani @ NouveauWriter article ideasWith all the hype about blogging in the last couple of years, many writers are justifiably asking if they too should jump on the bandwagon. Maybe you’ve asked yourself the same question. Should you blog? The answer really depends on you and your reason for wanting to blog in the first place.

If you’re debating whether to create a blog, the following do’s and don’ts might help you decide. If nothing else, they will at least expose the realities of writing on the Web.

How to Make an Old Blog Post New Again
by Taylor @ Men with Pens article ideasYou know what I hate? I hate it when someone gives me advice that I don’t know how to follow. It reminds me of the time I was standing there staring at my smoking car engine while on the phone with a friend of mine who knows a little something about cars. He says, “Oh, no problem. All you need to do is change out the spark plugs. You can do that in five minutes.” Um, no. No, I cannot. He can do it in five minutes. I don’t even know what a spark plug looks like. I assume it looks like a cross between the plug on the end of my computer’s cable and a child’s Fourth of July sparkler, but I am probably dead wrong and I know it. This is the long way of saying that last week I advised recycling an old blog post and making it new again as a way to get rid of the shameful inferior blog posts from your past.
