It is a joy when an author gets great reviews on their articles or stories. It makes them feel a sense of pride and accomplishment in what they have done. If you are an author and your reviews aren't so great, instead of being angry you should learn from your mistakes. Learning from what you have written and what the thoughts of the reader's were will help you in writing better articles and stories.
When you are reading someone else's work, you see all the wrong that is in it. Think about what all they would be looking at when they are reading your own work and what might they say about what you have written. You should read over your work as many times as possible to check for misspelling's or wrong punctuation. You should also check to see if your work will stand out.
The format can be a very crucial part of your story. The format is the way that things are written. The story should be easy for your reader's to read and understand. You shouldn't use words that are so difficult that even a four year college student has trouble understanding. You want everyone to be able to read it and understand what is going on.
Make sure that there is a line break between paragraphs. A line break will make it easier for the readers to read you story without straining their eyes or losing focus. A lot of us tend to have run on sentences or instead of starting a new paragraph for a new idea, we sometimes keep the same paragraph going. When we do this it causes the readers to lose interest in what we are writing.
The plot of a story is like the main event. The plot is what you want the viewers to remember about the story. It is the main focus. The title should pop out to the readers and make them interested in reading what you have to say. The opening paragraph also helps with the plot. The opening paragraph should catch the readers attention and make them want to keep reading. The plot should suggest an emotion and should be unique. It should make the reader want to read even more of the story.
The setting shows the reader where and when an event took place. The setting should be adequately shown. The reader should be able to picture what is going on and the description should be put to where the reader will be able to imagine what is going on inside of the story.
You article or story should be made to where the reader will want to recommend it to others. When the reader recommends it to others it not only receives more views but will also help to put your name out in the open. Once your name is out there, people are more opt to recognize your work and want to read more of what you have written.
Once you develop an audience, you are more certain to get better reviews and in return a better pay for the work that you have created.

How to write a great story
How Associated Content changed my life
I was stuck in a job that seemed as though it just wasn't going anywhere. I wanted a career and not just another place to work. I wanted to be a writer and I hoped to do this before I had to face that my lifelong dream was just that, a dream.
I studied hard and bought all the books and practically anything else that you could buy to help you become a better writer. I still can't believe that I spent that much money and am still rusty. I realized after I found Associated Content, that in order for you to become a better writer, you had to have much practice. I yearned to be accepted as a writer instead of just a homemaker. I wanted people to see my potential.
I know that my article are not the best in the world, but do realize that practice makes perfect. My husband is my biggest critic. I do love him but sometimes I feel like ringing his neck. He is what teaches me where I could have done better and what motivates me to write.
Motivation is my key to everything. I have to be motivated to do almost anything. I guess that you could say that I love my couch. I am a good mom and wife but sometimes I need a little motivation to get me off my rump and into our daily routines.
I came across Associated Content by pure accident. I was surfing the web and looking for jobs that would make it possible for me to stay home with the little ones. I seen this add for Associated Content and became a little clicker friendly. I had a bunch of windows pop up at one time. I guess that I clicked too much. After exiting out of all of them but one, I started to read the home page.
I must of laughed or cried one because the baby woke up. I couldn't believe it, I had found a site that was going to pay me to write articles for them. I kissed the computer and my husband. I was so excited that I nearly fell out of my chair. It was so unbelievable that this site was going to offer me a job doing what I love to do. I started thinking about the possibilities and the potential that this site would give me. I couldn't wait to sign up.
My husband and I talked about the next step that I wanted to take. I told him that I would love to stay at home and write for Associated Content and that the best part was that we would no longer have to pay for a sitter for the kids. I loved this opportunity.
I am now enjoining it more than ever. I get to spend more time with my children, and I am home when my husband gets off work, which was a bit odd for me because usually I wouldn't get off work until about two hours after he did.
I also love the feeling of when someone ask me what I do and I just simply tell them that I am a content producer and love my job. I don't feel the need to tell them that I just started, besides they wouldn't understand.
I haven't been with Associated Content for very long but I can tell you that it was probably the smartest thing that I have ever done to make money. I love the extra cash that I get and who couldn't use the money?
I have heard of a lot of other sites that claim to help you quit your job and work from home but if you are going to go for it and quit your day job, then Associated Content would be the right place to go.
I have learned a lot of things from Associated Content and have made a lot of friends. I love everything that Associated Content has to offer including the money that I am expecting to make off writing articles.
I may not be the best writer in the world, and I know that my articles need a lot of work but I am one step closer to my dreams and life goals. My dream was to be a writer and my goal was to do it by the time I am thirty. I am twenty-two and am on my way.
Thank you Associated Content for making all of our dreams come true.

How I raised my page views by blogging
I started a blog almost two months ago. I heard that it was a great way to get information out to the public. I wasn't sure if it would work at first but I thought that I would give it a try anyway.
What I had discovered not only opened my eyes to the Internet but had also brought more page views to my articles as well as other things that I was offering to the public. My blog started out to be pretty simple and needed a lot of work done to it.
I decided that I would write something in it everyday until I ran out of things to write. My result was amazing. I noticed that more and more people were checking out my stuff and that in return I was making more money.
I had also set up a google adsense account so that I would make a little extra cash on the side just for posting up ads and different material that google was trying to get out there on the Internet. I was amazed that I could make money just by doing something that I love.
It took me about one hour to get my blog set up and it was well worth spending that extra time. I love blogging almost as much as I do writing articles. I couldn't wait to show everyone my work. I sent out emails to everyone that I knew with a link to it. I got tons of emails back from people that I knew and some that I didn't express to me how much they loved it. These people also started blogging and signed up for google adsense.
If you ask me, Google is becoming one of the biggest talked about companies on the Internet and I am proud of them.
I couldn't have found a more perfect site or adventured in making a nice blog. My blog still needs work but I am proud of what I have accomplished with it.
I would advise everyone who doesn't have a blog to set one up and start posting your thoughts, product, articles, or anything else that you can think of to it. You will not be disappointed.
There are a lot of different types of blog's out there and many different companies that will let you blog for free.
Getting your word out there has now become even easier on the Internet and blogging is a great way to make whatever it is that you want to say out there in the open. Many people blog just for fun while others do it to make a profit.
One of my favorite blogs that I had set up is a blog about making money off the internet. What this blog does is set up a list of different sites that I have used and found that really pay you for your time. I list my referral links so that iIalso make a profit for signing people up. So far today my page views are up by almost 15%. I know that this might not seem like a lot but without that percentage I would have been on a lower list.
I am deeply amazed at all that I have accomplished with this and I am proud to say that my blog is looking better every day.
