When the article material is not good, there will be lesser chances of you achieving good results. Below are some signs and symptoms of a lousy article and how you can repair them:

In trying to figure out what to say while trying to say it may seem to be efficient, but this approach is counter-productive. You will end up not thinking coherently and not communicating clearly.

2. Misconceptions about writing. You might think that once prepared, you should be able to produce a nearly perfect product easily and swiftly. Writing is hard work. Although preparation will help you, it will not eliminate the tedious job of putting your thoughts into words.

3. Being too self-critical. You may have this kind of a thinking that your writing will be criticized by other people, then you become obsessed by what others will think of you as a writer. Careful preparation will help you decide what to say and will give you confidence that what you put on paper will not make you look foolish.

4. Confusing writing with editing. You may become bogged down because you edit excessively as you compose. Switching back and forth between creative and censoring modes interferes with the flow of ideas, words, and sentences. You will need to separate the writing phase from the editing phase.

5. Boredom on what you are doing. Working on an article to be used for marketing requires hours of intensive reading, researching, and discussion. It is not uncommon to feel bored with a topic before you even begin writing. That is why it is crucial that you love what you do, so you will be able to deliver great results.
