Simple Tips: Proofreading

1 Comment

It’s something we’re all guilty of doing, in fact, you can probably find examples of it on this very blog. It’s leaving typos, misspellings and improper formatting in what you publish on your site and it’s something that can be easily avoided by proofreading.

Getting content and information on your site is one key to staying on top of your business and so is making sure that content is clear and free of errors. When you read information on a site and you find a simple spelling error, that site often loses its credibility for you quite quickly. If a site can’t even take the time to share error free information, that doesn’t say much about the services they can offer you.

Remember to proofread and check your content before publishing on your site. Follow a few tricks to ensure you are presenting the best information.

Read Out Loud

Once you’ve drafted your content and proofread once, take the time to read through again, but out loud. Reading your content out loud can help you to hear anything you may have worded awkwardly and catch other errors you may have missed while just reading silently to yourself.

Fresh Eyes

If you aren’t in a rush, walk away from your content before posting it. Do something else for an hour and come back to your content and you will be able to see errors you may have missed the first time. Many of us have a habit of reading what should be there rather than what is there, so stepping away from your work can give you fresh eyes to see the real content.

Call in Back Up

Ask someone else to read your content before posting. They can see errors you have missed and help you clarify anything that may be confusing to someone else.

Use Social Bookmarking Sites

As you may have noticed, beneath each post on this blog there area a few counters and logos for sites. The Affiliate Blog uses the Share This tool to easily let any of our readers share our blog posts easily on Facebook, Twitter, through email or through social bookmarking sites. If you aren’t familiar with social bookmarking sites, they are a lot like their name implies. Social bookmarking sites allow you to create an account and profile so that you can favorite or bookmark any links you want, these favorite links then become part of the profile you have created with these sites, and people can browse your profile for links. Your favorite links are also shared in a feed for anyone one to stumble upon. You can use social bookmarking sites to bookmark your own important blog posts and encourage your visitors to do so too. This is great for SEO and just sharing your site in every way possible.

Create Content Ahead of Time

As we’ve shared in past posts, a great way to increase SEO and your visitor base is to ensure you always have fresh content. It’s easy to get overwhelmed when you visit your website and realize you need to update it and write something right NOW. But instead of getting in moments of panic, create content ahead of time and create a schedule. If you have WordPress you can even schedule your posts to be published on specific dates in the future. You site is going to look more viable when your content is new and relevant to your readers.

Explain Things Simply

The GDI opportunity may be simple to you, but remember that people visiting your site might not quite understand it yet and need a little guidance. This is where it is ok to be very simple and straight forward in your writing. Explain the GDI opportunity to your site visitors and why it is important to them. Be clear and concise to help answer some of their first questions. Bullet points, images and personal success stories can help to make your point as well. The better you explain the opportunity and benefits, the better chances you have to succeed with GDI.
