    Heading must be bold with large font size.

    Hello, I am new to your forum, but writing / rewriting deal more than 10 years as their native language, and a few others. But I would like to say my opinion on the article as copywriters. I think the post is good and the style too. But I think in terms of synthesizing the material is very inflated. Maybe it should be more concise and clear. Let's not prejudice the author, but that's my opinion.

    The article is good and can do better with proper sub-headings. I feel that the points mentioned for sharpening article marketing skills could have some more depth. But overall an okay article, better than 90% of crap we see on the inernet these days.

    All told it is well written and informative but....In my opinion you ought to omit the word "the" in your title, it is superfluous and unnecessary.

    Nice tips and effective strategy here. You definitely bring us to your site as you are promoting it through this thread.
    It leads me to think about the level of difficulty of the "job is really very difficult but it is not difficult for everyone..."

    To be honest, I would rewrite the entire thing. I definitely would not post it on my site in the shape it is at the moment. However, that said, it has potential. Map the article out in its current state, then figure out how it could sound better, how it could appeal to the target audience better, and then rewrite it. Guess what, in my opinion as a writer, you will want to do it again afterwards, but not immediately. You may let the first rewrite you have to do sit there for a month, but then you are going to see it for what it is, and then rewrite it again with even more voice. After that, then people will want to read it. I am not shooting you down, I am merely looking at it from a writers perspective. Look at your audience and ask yourself what they really want to read. As a matter of fact, read it out loud and then ask yourself why it feels so monotone. Write it again, and it will be great. Write it once more a month later and it will be a work of art.

    Change your title, it definitely doesn't flow. What I mean is

    "7 tips of sharpening the article marketing skills" doesn't make sense.

    I think the title could be stronger as "7 Tips for Sharpening Your Article Marketing Skills" and then perhaps adding a subheading. The details of the article are good, it sounds like you have helpful knowledge of this subject. But there are some spelling and grammar mistakes that could use a bit of a polish. There are also sentences that could be tightened up, extra words that really don't need to be there.

    There is a good site, called dailygrammar.com, they give bite size grammar lessons. You learn one grammar lesson at a time. If you are looking for information on that topic, this could be a good resource.

    Good luck! :)

    73% of your potential readers (myself included) just skim. You need lots of bold titles to pull people in. I literally scanned that thing and read nothing. Look into something called the "dual readership path" or also called the "double readership path".
