I usually have difficulty coming up with over 500 words! I also read out loud..and you are right.. one catches the areas that do not flow. I have a couple co-workers review my article prior to publishing, a fresh set of eyes finds errors that I didn't see. Thanks for the information.

I think that when so many folks are doing "Things to do" articles, it helps the "Things to Avoid" Articles stand out. I see so many "Things to do" articles that whenever I see a "Things To NOT do" one it catches my eye--it also peaks curiosity in readers wondering "Hmm, I wonder if I'm doing any of those things that they're saying I shouldn't?" But we're writing articles consistently every month--I like to do "Things To Do" articles and "Things To Avoid" also. It helps to switch things up to keep folks on their toes (and us too!). Hi Phillip,

Thanks for that template and snippet from the EzineArticles post–looks great :-)

“Things to do” articles are great, but it’s nice to switch things up every now and then and do a “Things to not do” article.

I think that when so many folks are doing “Things to do” articles, it helps the “Things to Avoid” Articles stand out. I see so many “Things to do” articles that whenever I see a “Things To NOT do” one it catches my eye–it also peaks curiosity in readers wondering “Hmm, I wonder if I’m doing any of those things that they’re saying I shouldn’t?”

But we’re writing articles consistently every month–I like to do “Things To Do” articles and “Things To Avoid” also.

But you didn't notice "Throw out and get rid of"---another redundancy! At least you noticed one of them ;-) Hi Stan,

“Unnecessary redundancies” was a joke :-) That’s why it was put in quotes and had a winking smiley face after it–doh!

But you didn’t notice “Throw out and get rid of”—another redundancy!

At least you noticed one of them ;-)

This is a case of do as I say and not do as I do. If it is redundant then it is unnecessary. Can you have a necessary redundancy? In item #7 you mention “unnecessary redundancies.”

If it is redundant then it is unnecessary. Can you have a necessary redundancy?

Since my primary expertise is herbalism, sometimes I feel the need to use "big" words to describe the nature of the herb I am discussing, especially if I am referring to some research that has been done. But I always try to explain that term so that my neighbor would be able to understand it. I find it also helps to have someone who is not as knowledgeable about herbs (or whatever subject) read the article, and see if they find it understandable, or confusing.

My theory is that it’s because of the positive vs. negative tone… even when you mean well to help save your reader from future pain… they might not be seeking knowledge on pain avoidance. One way you can flip the “Things To Avoid” article template so that it has a positive spin: Write articles that helps the reader to understand your credibility by outlining why from your experience they should avoid X number of things having to do with your niche expertise… ie: How can your reader gain pleasure, peace of mind, wealth, etc. by avoiding x number of things. Lastly, be sure to deliver in the article body on the promises you made in your Things to Do/Avoid article title. If you say here are *21 Things To Do To Win Your Next Golf Game*…there better be 21 items numbered in the article body… :) or you’ll be left on the golf course alone in the rain.
