2.3 - Article Content Regulations (Article Body):
Home » Member Terms » Author Submission Guidelines » 2.0) - Article Content Regulations
This is the most important section within your article. The body of your article must be informative and may not sound like an advertisement of any kind.
The article body & description must not be less than 400 words total. Articles that are shorter than 400 words will be returned to the author in order to add more content.
Paragraphs within your article body should wrap to the other line without any hard returns. Hitting [ENTER] after 60-65 characters is not accepted. We will send your article back to you if you use hard breaks for each line of text.
Article marketing is not like writing essays for University, or College. We do not want to see article content with double lines between each line of content. Please write your paragraphs that flow together. Do not hit [ENTER] & [ENTER] after each line of content.
Do not re-post the authors name up top. Our system will automatically do that for you.
We do not want to see publisher reprint rights within the body of your articles, this is what the author resource box is intended for.
Author business contact information should remain within the author resource box, not within the article body.
Do not submit articles that keep stating "With my company you get to learn about this and that".
