The "unfair" advantage that well-known Blogger is trying to hide.

You idolize the famous Blogger? Do you feel shocked when you realize that their writing skills are no better than you? Certainly one thing is that their final product will be better than yours, but the first draft is still clumsy, less sharp and unattractive no different from you.

What outstanding Blogger knows that many people don't know it's a simple post is not finished yet because they have said everything they want to say. In all aspects, that's just the beginning.

Think your draft is like a rough diamond.The value is hidden inside and you need a diamond cutter to reveal its beauty and transparency.

That's why many Blogger are willing to hire professional editors to "turn rough diamonds into gems".

Is there something unfair?

There is no doubt that their articles are better than yours and many people who don't hire Editor still have their posts spread (Viral) simply because they know how to edit their own posts very professionally.

Here are some rules that you need to remember.

1. Avoid using buffer words (Filler Words)

Buffer words are literary sentence structures, often beginning with words like. It, here Or There Followed by forms of verbs To be , for example: It is, it was, it won't, it takes, here is, there is, there will be.

When It, here And There Imply a certain noun in the sentence - or worse - is something that is not specific, they will "weaken" your article by reducing the level of emphasis on words. Important in sentences. And usually, they will need other support words like. Who, that, when Make your article "diluted".

Such as:

Có m?t Bloggers mà có th? có.

From here There Is the word buffer, making the focus of the sentence dispersed to something vague called. "there" Instead of targeting Some bloggers. At the same time, the writer is forced to use another unnecessary word. Who.

Train the ability to detect the following buffer words by. Verb (as , are, was And Were ) and adjust the sentence to emphasize important words.

(Tip: You can use the Find Function in the text editing tools to search for word buffers.).

Some examples and how to fix:

• It's fun to edit - Editing is fun.
• It takes time to write - Writing takes time.
• Nothing's better blogging - Nothing's better than blogging.

Note: If you previously described the object, use. There, here, it Is acceptable in the following sentences, such as. "I love editing. It's fun" (This is not a buffer structure because. It Replaces potential for Editing Described in the previous sentence).

2. Don't use weak verbs, use strong verbs.

Be sure To combine It With It, there And Here Will not only make your sentences become lengthy but also make the words that follow them be reduced. The solution here is to replace it with simple words but have a stronger "resilience". Such as:

• She is blogging - She blogs.
• People are in love with him - People love him.
• He is aware that people love him - He k nows people love him.

Besides being Big , you need to pay attention to some other verbs. At this time, use verbs that are of an action or emotional nature. Such as:

• Give out - Offer.
• Find out - Discover.
• Make it clearer - Clarify.
• He went to Mexico - He round to Mexico.
• Think of a blogging strategy - Devise a blogging strategy.

3. Avoid using weak adjectives

Weak adjectives will make your writing as weak as using the wrong verb. So choose carefully when you want to describe it more clearly or want to emphasize nouns and pronouns. At the same time, notice that some are like. Really And Very Will weaken the pre-ordered adjective even though their meaning is not. Observe some of the following words:

• Really bad - Terrible.
• Really good - Great.
• Very big - Huge.
• Very beautiful - Gorgeous.

Even if you don't use Really Or Very , you should replace the adjectives below with better words and describe the level of strength.

• Dirty - Filthy.
• Tired - Exhausted.
• Scared - Terrified.
• Happy - Thrilled.

In the case of negative comments, you should also use antonyms with those words instead of adding. "isn't".

• It's not that good - It's terrible.
• He's not a bore - He's hilarious.
• He's not very smart - He's ignorant.

4. Avoid using colloquial, lengthy speech.

Readers today don't have much time and patience to read a lengthy article. So, make your article as concise as possible.

• But the fact of the matter is - But (avoid the mushy expressions).
• Editing is absolutely essential - Editing is essential (Absolutely not necessary).
• B?n ?ang ti?p t?c ?? th?c hi?n vi?c làm vi?c - B?n có th? s?a vi?c công vi?c. Ho?c B?n c?n ph?i làm vi?c c?a vi?c (. Going to And Going to have to Be a cumbersome description).
• Every single person should love editing - Every person should love editing.

5. Avoid magnetization of verbs / adjectives.

Nominalization Is a way that a writer uses a stronger verb or adjective that has the equivalent meaning to replace a weak noun. Similar to the word buffer, the word nomenclature will also appear some unnecessary words when you use it.

Try counting the words in the examples below and you will see how the magnetization will weaken your writing:

• Give your post a proofread - Proofread your post (verb).
• Alcohol is the cause of hangovers - Alcohol causes hangovers (verbs).
• The plane's approach was met with the scramble of emergency crews - The plane approaching and emergency scrambled crews (verbs).
• He showssigns of carelessness - He is careless.
• She has a high level of intensity - She is intense.

6. Use a smooth comma to make the sentence clearer.

The rules of punctuation in English are very complicated, so are commas. However, do you need to know how to distinguish serial comma, Oxford comma (Oxford comma) and Harvard comma (Harvard comma) to write a blog post? Definitely no need.

So the choice here is to use commas when you find it necessary. Such as:

In this sentence, do not use commas to separate. Editing And do not affect the idea that the writer wants to convey. Readers can fully understand.

Another example:

If you don't use a comma between. Success And You , the reader may misunderstand your idea that. "success is something you can pull out of a golden pen". (success is something you can "pull" it out of). from a gold-plated pen).

Regardless of where the comma is placed, in the end, your goal is for the reader to continue reading your article instead of stopping at a word that makes them unable to understand or misunderstand the idea.

7. Use the term (modifier for nouns) whenever possible.

This is a technique that nobody wants to use often but don't ignore it.

When using two consecutive nouns, from the beginning add the second word, you should use the term (Noun Modifier). Such as:

• Tips on editing - Editing tips.
• Great traffic-boosting advice (In this case,. Traffic-boosting Is a compound noun).
• Information about registration - Registration information.

These rules are not magic tricks or are too complicated. You can absolutely apply them to make your posts professional, search engine friendly and able to retain users longer. Once done so, the "viral" will also be significantly improved.

However, the thing to remember here is that the application needs flexibility and you are blogging in English rather than Vietnamese. Make it as simple as possible so that the average reader can understand your content instead of having to spend hours searching the dictionary. The clearer the message, the more concise, concise and professional presentation your more attention will be.

Wish you successful application.
