Okay, so this article is way too different from my regular articles, but I think it's important to share what so far I have learned in our Publish0x community. The reason I am writing this article is to welcome new members to our community and to highlight some important issues that new members should take notes on it.
Lessons From The First Mistake
I still remembered the number of dislikes I received on my first article in Publish0x. "hehe". I am not blaming anyone, but that article was containing some serious mistakes, since that I have learned a lot. And thanks to our senior members for correcting my mistakes. Initially, I have been writing articles and essays since my primary school education and since that I love writing. Although English is not my first language, but thanks to my parents for sending me to the English education system, even though they hardly managed to pay my education fees. Because of their efforts, today I am able to communicate with everyone. I will never forget their favour upon me. But yeah I still do some minor grammatical mistakes and I am trying my best to improve myself. But why is it necessary to avoid mistakes in an article?
Don't Disappoint, Let Your Work Shine
When a reader begins to read an article, the reader expects more knowledge, story, content, and a beautiful outline. The reading starts with an introduction and ends with a conclusion. The reader chooses your article to read, the reader, is investing time in reading your article. So do you expect the reader to end up with disappointment? Of course not! Readers want to read interesting articles and authors want to write such articles. The purpose of writing an article is to spread your knowledge, spread your experience or to spread your opinion on specific things. But if an author considers writing as a competition to earn more money, then believe me there is no purpose in writing an article, as the words of the author will not affect and attract anyone. So you must avoid such mistakes. But what types of mistakes to avoid? Let's move to the things you must avoid as an author on Publish0x.
Common Errors
There are some common mistakes that a new member must avoid or they will get dislikes as I got in my first article. I have categorized types of mistakes into two sections, a poor impression and a bad impression, so it will be easy to understand the error in writing an article as an author.
A Poor Impression
At first, I will like to discuss the poor impression. It's been less than a month since I have joined Publish0x, I have been noticing poor impressions are the very common error in most of the articles, i.e. "asking for tips" & "sharing your referral links".
Avoid common mistakes
Never ask for tips.
Never share your referral links.
When a writer asks for tips and mentions referral links, no matter whether it's in the middle or in the end of the article, but what it does, it kills the art of the article. This shows the author failed to show the purpose of the article, the author is not interested in writing an article, but the article was written to get tips and clicks on referral links. alas, the author has wasted his time and the precious time of the reader as well. Such types of patterns in the articles gain poor reputation and dislikes from the readers. It leaves a negative impact on the reader and readers are no more interested to complete the reading of such articles. And that's why you must avoid such errors in writing. It is obvious to consider this approach of tips and referral as a poor impression on readers.
My first article was also full of such errors, but the dislikes and corrections from the senior members taught me the purpose of writing is to express my experiences and knowledge through words. So far I have learned that writing an article is not a business to earn money. In the coming articles I will never share any referral links and also I will never ask for tips. The quality of my work will impact the readers to gain a positive reputation.
A Bad Impression
Now let's discuss the bad impression in the articles.
Some mistakes can lead to the deletion of the article or maybe a permanent ban from Publish0x, avoid mistakes such as:
Plagiarism
Copyrights content
False Information
Okay, let me explain why I am considering these mistakes as a bad impression. When a reader chooses your article to read, the reader expects something new and out of the box, but if the writer shares the same old stories copied from the internet or spread information without research, believe me, this can lead to a disaster in a community. The readers will have no more trust to read articles, it will negatively impact the readers and demotivate them from reading articles. That's why it is reasonable to name this approach as a bad impression.
I know sometimes it's difficult to write an article when you are going through a lot of things in your personal life, it's difficult for your brain to focus on one thing, and that's why many writers prefer plagiarism over their own content. But no situation can justify plagiarism. Plagiarism, using copyrights content or spreading false information is a crime in the world of truly authentic and raw information. Stealing someone's content leads to demotivate the original author to produce more content, and the readers get the same content everywhere, which is a disappointment.
My approach
As an author, I always try to create my own content. I begin writing with days of proper research and experience it before suggesting others, gather all the facts from authentic sources and generate my own ideas to produce a quality article. I am not here to make money, I am using this platform to raise awareness about blockchain technology and its benefit on our economy. My aim is to deliver knowledge and content through this platform. Being honest with work gives me the confidence to write more and brings hope to explore more new things coming up.
Conclusion
An author always aims to provide quality content and interesting articles with the combination of new knowledge and experiences based on reality. Every author has a unique approach and smartness in writing an article. But avoiding errors will increase the beauty of your article, the readers will enjoy reading and in the end, they will not regret spending time reading your articles.
