Therefore, it is better to make the sentences short and crispy, so that readers get interest to read sentences one by one without confusing the ideas or losing the thread. Avoiding typos: Typo is one of the demons that hamper the beautiful creation of writers. Typos which is the abbreviation of typographical error is something known as the fruit of careless typing process , not necessary that the writer has to check and each and every word right after typing but after completing the work, it is required, that the entire piece is gone through critically once or twice only to find out major typos. Typos carry different meaning to reader thereby marring the overall effect of the writing.

The concept is out and out wrong. Using reader friendly terms, avoiding colloquialism, applying easy to understand words make the content high quality not the heavy words which bulldozer a reader’s mind heavily.

  • Avoiding personal viewpoint: keeping aside bias attitude is highly required, as expressing personal view point is something a freelance writer must not try out. He is there to market or advertise a product or service not there to express his personal perspective until unless he is asked for.
