Those are great tips for article marketing. Just another one to add...
People want to read and use articles that are easy to look at. They don't want to have to doctor them up. That means if your article has any funky symbols like
[]#)(/ in it because the formatting got messed up, you'll likely lose out on viewers.
Personally, I always do my article creating on Word. (I love the spell check feature
)
However, it's never a good idea to copy and paste directly from Word. That's because the formatting doesn't always transfer well. (bolded and italicized words don't stay that way, plus those nifty extras Word adds, like the tiny "th" in "8th" doesn't transfer)
I suggest copying and pasting your article to Notepad. If there's any weird formatting, it will be obvious in Notepad. Fix anything you need to then copy and paste from Notepad to the article site. That way, you know all formatting is clean.
Most article sites have bold, italic, and underline options anyway, so when you're at the site, you can spruce up your article how you like, and it will pass the formatting test with flying colors.
