Bothering....

Hi,

I know blogs and websites are not the right place to solve our problems but today is an exception because yesterday writersweekly crossed all the red lines after She reviled me and my blog with her lies "freelance steps steals copyrighted material and posts it without permission " so I decided to clear my side not for her ( I don't care about her opinions ) but for you because it's my right to explain and your right to judge.

I want to ask one question who said that the job ad is a part of a copyright law ,I searched over and over but results was a big zero so if any one of you has a copy of job ads copywrite please send it to me . I like to read about this issue .

One more thing ; what's the difference between the following situations :

  • copying the link of the ad from other sites without permission. (like she did)
  • copying the link of the ad and few lines from the ad without permission (like most of the employment sites)
  • copying the link of the ad and a full copy of the ad without permission.

I believed that the three situations are the same if we are talking about permissions ,actually it's impossible to take a permission for each job ad from the sites you take your list from ,I'm sure that no body could do that including her .

Finally I hope the picture is clear now ,and sorry for wasting your time but really it hurts my feelings deeply ,and it's my first time to know that working hard is a crime I have to pay for it every day .

Thank you again and have a nice day

Sally Alhady

Daily Writing Tip:

How To Write A Great Article
by: Lori Osterberg

Content is king. If you’ve been online any length of time, you’ve seen the phrase, “content is king” everywhere.

But understanding what content is, and how to continually add content to your site is a full time job for many businesses.

One of the best ways to grow the content of your site is by adding useful articles to your resources. Articles are typically rich content that pertains to one or two keywords. An article is typically between 250-750 words in length. And the best thing about an article is it can be promoted not just on your site, but can also be picked up by article directories, other websites, and ezine editors looking for quality information for their subscribers.

The hardest part of adding an article to your site is often times the writing. Where do you come up with your ideas for new articles? Here are five tips on how to find articles that will be informative for your target audience.

1. What is the top news feature in your industry? If you follow trade journals, (and you should) you can always find one or two topics that everyone is writing about. Pick up on that thought, and write an article in your own words.

2. What questions do your clients and prospects ask you over and over again? Common questions can make motivating articles because they answer a question everyone wants more information on.

3. How can you relate your industry to a seasonal event? If you’re a plumber, writing an article on preparing your pipes for the deep-freeze of winter can be much needed. Likewise, an article on planting shade-loving plants would be a perfect addition to a greenhouses website.

4. Follow your newspaper for current events. Every day, around the world, there are events that you can use to base an article off of. Think back to the first 2 ½ months of 2006 – you could write articles based on the Olympics, Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day, Presidents Day, winter, snow, hurricanes and tornados. A personal trainer could write an article about how it doesn’t take an Olympian to stay fit. A health spa could write an article on preparing for the spring thaw, and looking your best in your new spring wardrobe. And so on.

5. Still can’t think of anything? Hire someone else to write articles for you. A copywriter can write several articles for you in a short period of time. If you have a dozen or so written, you can have a several months supply of high quality content, ready to share on your site, and with others throughout the Internet.

You have valuable information. Find a way to share what you know with your customers and prospects. You’ll show your expertise; they’ll reward you by becoming your customers.

First let me start off by saying this is such a big help! Thank you so much!

I have one question, however: Are there any entry level freelance jobs for someone like me with no experience to break into the industry?

Thanks again
