If you want to learn how to write copy, here are some tips on copywriting that I learned from watching a bunch of how-to-write videos on YouTube.

I’ve watched a lot of YouTube videos.

Some were productive and some were definitely not.

But one of the productive ones talked about the importance of keeping notes of things that you find educational or valuable or interesting (similar to keeping a commonplace book).

5 Grammar Mistakes Every Blogger Must Prevent

When it comes to writing well, grammar is a very important component. Your writing needs to be clear and readable, and grammar is the element that makes your writing just that.

But when you are a new blogger or just starting to get into writing, your grammar may not be as awesome as you would want it to be. Your sentences may be choppy or they may be fragmented. Or you may be using certain words incorrectly.

But since you are just getting back into writing, you probably don’t remember how to fix all the grammar mistakes you made. “Why didn’t I pay more attention in school when I was younger?” you probably say after proofreading your horrendous writing.

That’s the exact thing that happened to me. I recently went into my archives and checked out some of my older articles and, boy, were they hard to read. Aside from the lack of flow of the paragraphs, there were so many grammatical errors.

The mistakes ranged from incorrect word use and spelling to sentence clarity. They were absolutely terrible!

So to help out some of you newbs, here are 5 grammar rules you must know: Continue reading “5 Grammar Mistakes Every Blogger Must Prevent”
