Getting better in writing
Thank you for those that always keep my spirit up!
I began my journey on writing content with the 200 words ability. I struggled and struggled and still struggling. I am now able to write with 600+ words. But that is still a long way to go. Some people here suggest that you need to have 1,200+ words article so that your website can be seen as an authority site.
So that is my new year resolution : To write article with no less than 1,200 words.
Practices make perfect!
Much love for you people in WA!

Hi Arief, your post on writing is right on the money. When I was in college writing a 5000 word paper was easy, but that was back in the seventies. So I am sure I would have to practice to get it together again. And I don't have a problem with doing that. And I know that article writing is one way to drive traffic to your site.
But the question I have is wouldn't paid traffic sources be quicker? and are there any good easy to understand strategies showing us how to drive traffic with paid traffic sources like ppc, ppv,facebook, google and bing ads?
Finally, I have also been considering using content curation to get the information that people are looking for. So while I have written a couple of articles that have been published online, I would like to find a quicker way to drive traffic to my site.
And I know that there is no shortage of paid traffic if you know what you are doing. Start small until you find a campaign that works and then scale up.
Well, my site is still at baby stage. The posts only count at 10+. So I am not considering paid traffic now. They would just come and go in an instant. They will see that my posts are to limited to stay for more than 5 minutes.
Great goal Arief. It does take time to learn and feel comfortable with your writing. You will get there. I struggled to get past 600 words when I started. The other day I finished one that ended up being over 2400 words. That might be a little too long and may need to be broken up into separate blogs.
But it just goes to show that over time writing becomes more comfortable.
Keep up the great work and you will be where you want to be in no time.
I have to agree with you, Ron. Now I am comfortable to write around 500 words. I just need to read more so I can tell a story better.
Hi Ariel I was the same my first posts were rubbish 100 300 but now I am doing the best wax 2000 but last night was only. 1089 but content was good and it is better to have good content that a load of mean less words - but well done wit your efforts best regards Paul
Arief,
If your article writing is anything like this post then you are doing an excellent job. :-)
I am right there with you. Although, it does seem to be getting a little easier the more writing I do.
Best Wishes,

Hey,
don't worry.
That will become naturally for you one day.
It was quite similar for me in the beginning.
Even though I love writing, it is a different thing to write in another language (English is not my native language).
My first page on my site was pretty ridiculous.
Now I am writing between 800 and 1200+ words without a problem.
But sometimes you don't really need to do that.
If you have said everything that needs to be said, then you shouldn't force it and write more just to get those 1200 words.
Don't bore your readers.
Sometimes it can be better to get to the point. ;)

Agree. Writing in another language needs its own "plugin". Sometimes I have to switch thinking caps every now and then.

Hi Ariel well done, that is awesome. Don't worry about it too much, I think that many of us struggle with writing and like you say practice makes perfect. Great goal you have set your self.
