Proof reading
It has become terrible how today's society rushes to advertise or post something that has typographical errors, improper grammar and even missing words.
It is very important for business people to check their work before submitting it to the general public or anyone that matters to the writer.
If you want to convey professionalism this is very important.
By the way I am the worst about this and am working on improving. One suggestion is to use a word processor like Word© by Microsoft to compose things, then you can copy your text to a post or blog or website with confidence. Word will catch spelling and grammatical and offer suggestions on how to fix the problem.
Have a great and successful day!

Great! this is a very amazing topic especially as an online businessman to show up your seriousness in Business. you cut off the chains
That is so true, especially if you want people to take you seriously. If you have spelling and grammatical errors, people may jump to the conclusion that you may not know what you are talking about, and you could be an expert in that field. You have given some great advice. Keep up the good work!
I know, right? I see typo's in NEWS ARTICLES all the time (I'm a news junkie) - but to be honest, even when I think I've written clean copy, I'll still find little errors. But as Howard notes, Grammarly ROCKS. And it's FREE. (LOL, it correct three small things in this comment!)
Agreed!!
There is also a free app called Grammarly that is pretty good! I use the paid version and it saves me daily with my emails, website posts, etc.

I agree with you about the importance of proofreading and professional looking copy. But doesn't the grammar and spell checker in SiteContent do the same thing?
I used to be a proofreader for Ken Blanchard, so I am very aware of typos, especially my own when they occasionally slip through my proofreading! I have been known to edit an already published post to correct a typo that was bugging me. I'm a good typist, so I usually watch my text and proofread my typing as I go, but sometimes the darned things slip by me anyway!
I have found that when programs try to "auto correct" my writing, most of the time I intended to write exactly what I did, but the computer doesn't understand the nuances and tries to correct something I don't want changed.
