A great way to promote your expertise is to write product reviews and submit them to online article directories, and to offline publications.<\/p>\n
Christopher Knight of EzineArticles.com<\/a> offers a\u00a0template for a simple “pros and cons” article<\/a>. The review simply lists the pros and cons of a product.\u00a0<\/p>\n Lots of people write the popular “how to” articles, but few writers use\u00a0the pros-and-cons\u00a0approach.\u00a0I like it because it’s different and because\u00a0these articles can be very short. His template weighs it at only 206 words, which makes it a brief.<\/p>\n As I explained during the teleseminar I hosted on “Briefs, Fillers &\u00a0Quizzes: How to Write Them\u00a0and Why Editors Love Them,”<\/a> briefs usually need little editing. They also fit odd-size holes on a page, which makes them more attractive to editors.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n I commented at Chris’ blog and said writers should not use the “pro and con” approach when writing letters to the editor. Those require that you take a strong stand on an issue. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n http:\/\/ezinearticles.com\/blog\/2007\/03\/the-pros-and-cons-article-template.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A great way to promote your expertise is to write product reviews and submit them to online article directories, and to offline publications.
