Fix It 202: My Hubs Have This Problem.... I Need To Learn How To Improve My Writing

When you choose to improve your writing, you will improve your chances of being published, This means that you need to fix your writing-- or better still find a good editor. This is not easy, there is not a "quick fix" to writing and grammar. In other words you will also need a good editor who will teach you how to improve your writing.

All writers face this question at some point in their writing careers, they write and they need to showcase their writing, and yet, something,tells them that at this point what they have published needs to be improved. They can not figure it out, and they want to see some success. They are writing for a living and some success in this business is something that all writers want.

They want to write and they want to show the best of the best in terms of what they write, and yet, they think that they need a different style, something to create the magic they want. It is a business and you are the business- you are a writer.

So, for this hub it is a bit of a how to hub on making your writing style the best it can be, from the way you present to the way people read it. People do read many hubs and often the ones which have "Something" to them is often the fact that it is presented in a way that the reader ends up understand. Yes, it is a business and yes, you need to think like a business.

In this case, writing is writing and it is a business, and you want to show your business to the world. It does take time and you need to be prepared to find that some will not like your work and some will love your work.

You know that you have the content and that it is good. In fact for this request noorin, there is nothing wrong with your writing. It is better than my own. There is simply one big difference, while my writing needs a lot of work, the other things that make me "seem" better really are simply a few things I have learned about writing and about hubpages.

This is a business to make money (some what-- we all need to live) and a business to showcase your writing to the online world, and as a writer this seems to be a rather large paradox. I mean writing and websites and Internet and all of that? I am a writer you are probably saying. Yes you are but you are also a business, even if you don't like it.

See, you need to link your hubs and you need to have white space and you need to think abouthow Google and other search engines look at your hubs. See you can almost say that a hub is a mini-website. If that is the case: the content is a must but it also needs something like presentation to make a difference.

FIne I am a business, but does that mean my writing sucks?: No, not at all your writing is great it is passionate and powerful and I loved reading it, and I would encourage you to continue with writing, you have talent.  Read that statement again, you do have talent, most if not all writers have talent, but they will need to work on it to improve.

There is just one thing, It is all text. This is also something basic I have learned about writing, too much text all at once is not a good thing. Most readers can not read a "long" piece, especially if they are on the Internet. Even if it say only 1,000 words if the text goes on and on it will not have the same "power." We communicate to our readers, and how we do this is through how our hub looks.

Of course, I am not in any ways suggesting that you do not care how your writing is. You do need to re-read it and take your time to make your writing as strong as it can be. It is all about being clear to the reader.   It is also about going back and editing to the best of your abilities.

Fine that is great but I want to improve more... my hubs aren't getting traffic, and I won't even begin to mention money: This is a business and as with any writing business you need to focus on what you do best. Not everyone can write about making money, and not everyone can write about publishing or writing or SEO or just about anything else. You have a niche to write about and sometimes that niche takes longer to make money than another niche. all have their own time line.

Be yourself. You are the creator of your writing and your writing is valued by others. hink of your business what is the best way to get the traffic you want on your site? What sort of traffic do you want?

Your writing is strong, but give yourself a bit of a chance to let the readers see this. First break your writing into smaller paragraphs, then say with every three or four paragraphs, add something, a photo or a capsule such as amazon or a poll or links.

There is more to making your writing seem stronger, and get more comments, and traffic.

I am the first to admit this, I am not at all strong in editing, but yes, you do need to edit your work. In this case the hub in question is rather good, and displays emotion and passion and was based as a speech so this worked well.

What I did notice was that it was all one big text, not that this is a bad thing, but visually it is hard to read, and that drains away the passion of what the writer is trying to express. I am not suggesting that in this case break up the text with say amazon (although it could be done) but with photos, or larger photos, what ever is appropriate for this hub.  You can also add a link capsule to another hub to improve traffic between your hubs.  Content is key but in business presentation also comes a close second to content.

This is important for content, if you write and you write well and create a hub that reader will want to read the next step is of course getting traffic and, more importantly, getting the traffic you want to get. Think of your hub as a website and that people will look for it via the search engines, and that these readers are looking for something specific, then you will also see more success.  This will in the long run get you more traffic which will make you more money.

The last word-- in this case when your writing is strong look for other more presentation reasons why you might think that people do not like your hub. This is not the case where you need to fix your writing but how people see your writing. I often will leave my hub alone and fix it later due to the fact that there are fewer comments and that the biggest thing was it was all in one big block and it really did not look good.

When I broke up the texts the way I do now I have also seen a large boost in traffic as more readers seem to digest things better this way. Always remember to "look" with the eyes of a reader when you have publish your work.  This is a business where you are presenting your work to your readers, who will take this to heart.

To your writing success.
