Head teacher Rachel Davis has been awarded and MBE for services to education
School delight at MBE for Rachel
A Sutton Coldfield head teacher's achievements has been recognised in the the Queen's New Year Honours List. The honours recognise the incredible achievements and service of people across the whole of the UK.
Rachel Davis, headteacher at Little Sutton School and from Sutton Coldfield, was awarded an MBE for services to education.
Staff members at the school, rated as 'outstanding' by Ofsted inspectors, praised Mrs Davis on their Twitter account saying: "Congratulations to our Headteacher Rachel Davis on being awarded an MBE in the New Years Honours. We are all so proud of her."
Parents also praised Mrs Davis' for her work. Clare Macphail, has three children who spent happy years at Little Sutton.
She said: "All three of my children enjoyed time at Little Sutton and that was down to the warm and friendly learning environment created by Mrs. Davis and her staff. Her MBE is well deserved."
Mrs Davis has been head teacher at the Worcester Lane primary school since 2004 and is both a National Leader of Education (NLE) and an Ofsted inspector for the West Midlands.
National Leaders of Education provide focused support to under performing schools to enable rapid improvement.
According to her LinkedIn profile, in 2014 she supported a school in challenging circumstances to move from 'Requires Improvement' to 'Good' in 12 months.
The following year she then helped a school to move from Ofsted category of 'Special Measures' to 'Good' in 15 months and in 2015-2016 supported a school to move from 'Requires Improvement' to 'Good' .
Little Sutton Primary School has more than 400 pupils and is designated one of the government's new English Hubs – one of just 34 schools nationwide recognised for their excellence in teaching and learning.
The hub aims to support schools to achieve excellence in early literacy teaching through an initial focus on developing early language and closing the word gap, developing early reading through systematic, synthetic phonics. It also promotes a love of reading.
Her work was acknowledged by a Tamworth school she supported, who congratulated her for her award on Twitter: "Congratulations from all at Coton Green Primary School… Your help from the English Hub has had an enormous impact."
Professor Colin Diamond, CBE and Professor of Educational Leadership at the University of Birmingham, added: "Warmest congratulations to headteacher Rachel Davis on being awarded an MBE in the New Years Honours. Always the head who goes that extra mile to help others in Birmingham. So well deserved."

Titans running incredible playoff gauntlet

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – JANUARY 11: Kevin Byard #31 of the Tennessee Titans and teammates celebrate after his interception over the Baltimore Ravens during the AFC Divisional Playoff game at M&T Bank Stadium on January 11, 2020 in Baltimore, Maryland. (Photo by Todd Olszewski/Getty Images)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — If the Tennessee Titans are going to shock the world and play in Super Bowl 54, they will have to survive one of the toughest tests in playoff history.
The Titans will have to beat all four AFC division champions on the road in successive weeks.
They won at AFC South champ Houston 35-14 to lock up their spot in the AFC playoffs week 17.
Then they went to New England and beat Tom Brady and the AFC East champs 20-13.
Last Saturday it was on the road again for a 28-12 beat down of the AFC North champion and top seeded Baltimore Ravens.
It is a tougher road than most could dream of, but head coach Mike Vrabel expected, "I already knew what it was going to be when we left for Houston, that as long as you keep winning, there's not a seventh seed for us to host. So, we were going to be on the road."
Still going on the road is one thing, beating maybe the greatest quarterback who ever lived on his home field one week and then then this years' slam dunk winner (Lamar Jackson) the next week is another. Oh, and this week's opponent boasts last years MVP Pat Mahomes.
"The teams we've been able to beat are very formidable opponents." said star safety Kevin Byard, "Talking about the GOAT in Tom Brady and the league MVP in Lamar Jackson. I mean like I said just having that road warrior mentality, really sticking together as teammates, has really brought us far"
The Titans have won five straight road on the road overall if you go back to beating the Raiders in Oakland and the Colts in Indianapolis.
At this point it would appear this team likes the road, likes the challenge, likes the hostile environments. At least one Titan says that notion is totally wrong!
"Shoot, I don't enjoy anything about it." said captain Jurrell Casey, "I hate the road, but the biggest thing is going up in there and just knowing that it's all us. It's just who the team is, it's family. We preach that from day one in here, it's all about us."
He may hate the road, but that certainly will not curtail his or his teammates expectations. They have embraced the slogan "why not us" for this post season run and they do appear to be on a Volunteer State island, because they have been a decided underdog in all three playoff games.
The Titans were a five point underdog at New England, a 10 point underdog at Baltimore and now they are a 7.5 point underdog at Kansas City.
Yep, they have the Chiefs right where they want them. 😉

The Clockwork Universe: Isaac Newton, the Royal Society, and the Birth of the Modern World - Edward Dolnick (2011)
Part II. Hope and Monsters
Chapter 28. The View from the Crow's Nest
Kepler's laws represented a giant advance in decoding God's cryptography, even if he did not know why they were true or what they meant. The next advance came from his fellow astronomer, Galileo, who was almost exactly Kepler's contemporary.
Galileo was born in the same year as Shakespeare, and Galileo's stature in science nearly matches Shakespeare's in literature. "I believe that if a hundred of the men of the seventeenth century had been killed in infancy, the modern world would not exist," wrote Bertrand Russell. "And of these hundred, Galileo is the chief." In truth, that seems unlikely. Galileo's genius is beyond dispute, but every great scientist, from Galileo to Darwin to Einstein, had rivals at his heels. If Shakespeare had not lived, we would not have "to be or not to be." If Einstein had not lived, we might have had to wait a few years for e = mc2.
The same holds for Galileo, great as he was. But Galileo did shake the scientific world out of its doldrums, and perhaps Russell was right that no one could have been better suited to that task, either temperamentally or intellectually. Galileo was brilliant, cantankerous, and expert in wielding all the weapons of intellectual combat. (Even his hair bristled, as if it, too, were poised for battle.) He spoke wittily and wrote vividly, with a knack for metaphors and homey analogies; he had a flair for mockery, name-calling, and sarcastic put-downs; he had, when he wanted, a honeyed tongue and, as an acquaintance noted, "a way of bewitching people."
Curiously, Galileo did not build on Kepler's work. Indeed, he seems not to have known that Kepler's laws existed at all, even though Kepler had sent him his New Astronomy, which included the first two laws and endless astronomical speculation besides. (Galileo put the book away unread.) What Galileo did instead was turn to a completely different part of the cosmic riddle.
Galileo focused on solving a mystery far older than Kepler's. Nearly a century after Copernicus, the question does the Earth move? still struck nearly everyone as absurd. Armed with the fame he had earned by turning his telescope to the heavens, Galileo set out to do what Copernicus and Kepler had never done, and what Kepler's laws did not do, either—find a response to the claim that the Earth could not possibly be in motion. Then he set out to tell the world.
Galileo wrote his most important scientific works not in formal, impenetrable prose but in pugnacious dialogues, like miniature plays. He put the arguments of his rivals into the mouth of a character he named Simplicio, the embodiment of intellectual mediocrity. The name perhaps referred to an actual figure, an Aristotelian named Simplicius who lived around a thousand years before Galileo. More likely, Galileo made up "Simplicio" because it was so close to simpleton (sempliciotto in Italian). Certainly his readers jumped to that conclusion. And one of them, Pope Urban VIII, was notably unamused to find a pet argument of his own put in Simplicio's mouth.
That proved to be a disastrous miscalculation, but a telltale one. Galileo's Italy was a flamboyant place. Showmanship was far more common than bashfulness, and Galileo was never much inclined to hide his talent in any case. Still, he dangerously overestimated his own powers of persuasion. He liked holding forth, about wine and cheese and literature to be sure, but especially about the excellence of the new picture of the heavens and the foolishness of the old view. "He discourses often amid fifteen or twenty guests who make hot assaults upon him, now in one house, now in another," one friend recalled, after a dinner party, "but he is so well buttressed that he laughs them off."
To be outnumbered was part of the fun. "If reasoning were like hauling," Galileo proclaimed, "I should agree that several reasoners would be worth more than one, just as several horses can haul more sacks of grain than one can. But reasoning is like racing and not like hauling, and a single Arabian steed can outrun a hundred plowhorses."
Galileo not only defended Copernicus against his critics but, in the course of making his argument, devised a theory of relativity. Three centuries before Einstein's version, Galileo's theory proved nearly as hard for common sense to grasp. Inside a room with the curtains pulled, Galileo showed, there is no way to tell if you're standing still or traveling in a straight line at a steady speed. Inside the compartment of a smooth-running new train, to take a modern example, no experiment you can do (short of peeking out the window) will reveal whether you're sitting motionless or racing down the track. You might think that dropping your keys would give the game away—if the train is moving to the east, wouldn't the keys fall a bit toward the west?—but in fact they fall straight down, as usual.
More to the point, what is true of a ship or a train is true of the Earth itself—there is no way to tell if the Earth is moving or standing still, short of carrying out sophisticated astronomical measurements. No ordinary actions we can carry out reveal whether we're moving. The same holds true for any motion that is smooth, steady, and straight, no matter how fast it might be. (The Earth's orbit is nearly circular, not straight, but the circle is so huge, compared to our speed, that any short stretch is effectively a straight line.)
This was a direct attack on Aristotle and all his followers. We can be sure that the Earth does not move, Aristotle had insisted, because we see proof everywhere we look. Rocks fall straight down, not on some curved or slanted path. Buildings don't shake or topple, as they would if the ground beneath them was on the move. A moving world would be chaotic, Aristotle taught, and the most routine task would be as difficult as trying to paint a room while standing on a ladder mounted on wheels.
Galileo showed this was false. Nothing is special about a motionless world. Smooth, steady motion looks and feels exactly the same as utter stillness. The strongest argument against Copernicus—that he began by assuming something that was plainly ridiculous—was invalid.
Galileo reached these far-ranging conclusions by means of the humblest experiments imaginable. He began with a metal ball and a wooden ramp. (In time he would add a bucket of water with a hole poked in it.)
Galileo's pet subject was motion, in particular the motion of falling objects. For Aristotle, as we have seen, to be in motion meant to change—from one position to another, perhaps, but also from one "quality" to another, as from "foolishness" to "wisdom." Galileo was after what looked like simpler game. He wanted to know the rules that govern inanimate objects in free fall. But how could he look closely enough to tell precisely how rocks plummet?
The answer, he decided, was to slow things down. Rather than drop a rock through the air, he would roll a ball down a ramp and hope that what held for the ramp would hold for free fall. This was a nervy move. Arguments by analogy are always risky, and here the analogy seemed far from ironclad. But Galileo, a brilliant teacher and debater, presented this leap of faith as if it were but another step on a casual walk, and his audience leaped with him.
He began by seeing what happened when he let a ball roll down one ramp, across a table, and then up a second ramp. If the two ramps were identical, it turned out, the ball ended up at virtually the same height it had started at. (In the same way, if you let go of a marble in a circular bowl it will roll to the bottom and then up the other side to very, very near its starting height.)
Then came the crucial observation. Galileo chose a second ramp that was less steep than the first one. Once again the ball ended up at the height it had started at, though this time it had to roll farther to get there. Then still another repetition, this time with a second ramp that was only tilted ever so slightly. Again, the ball eventually reached its starting height but it had to roll and roll to get there.
And suppose the second ramp was perfectly flat, not tilted at all? Then, said Galileo, the ball would roll horizontally forever. The flat ramp was a thought experiment, not a real one, but Galileo proclaimed a new law of nature—any object moving horizontally will continue moving horizontally forever, at the same speed, unless something comes along to intervene. (Newton's first law of motion is a generalization of the same principle.) Aristotle had decreed exactly the opposite, as we saw earlier. In Aristotle's world, motion was unnatural and always called for explanation; unless a force kept pushing or pulling it, a moving object would always slow and then stop.
We should not downplay Galileo's boldness. In rejecting Aristotle, he was also dismissing what everyone has seen for themselves countless times—moving objects do always stop. Ignore what all your experience and your common sense have taught you, Galileo said. More important than the world you actually see, more true to the essential nature of things, is an idealized, abstract, mathematical world that you can only see with the mind's eye.
In Galileo's hands, the simple statement that motion was natural had enormous consequences. Here was the key to his theory of relativity and the rebuttal to the Aristotelians' guffawing about a moving Earth. In his day, when roads were rutted and coaches horse-drawn, the most familiar example of smooth travel was on shipboard. What would happen, Galileo asked, if a sailor climbed to the top of the mast and dropped a rock? For Aristotle, this would have been an easy question. If the ship was motionless, at rest in a quiet harbor, the rock would fall straight down and hit the deck at the base of the mast. If the ship was gliding along on a glassy sea, the rock would crash to the deck several inches from the mast. Galileo disagreed. In both cases, he insisted, the rock would fall straight down to the base of the mast.
The reason was his first law. The ship, the sailors, the passengers, the rock falling from the mast, are all in horizontal motion, all of them moving together. The rock lands at the base of the mast because mast and rock are both moving horizontally, in unison, at the same time as the rock is hurtling downward.
"Shut yourself up with some friend in the main cabin below decks on some large ship," Galileo wrote. Bring in some butterflies, a fishbowl with some fish swimming around, a leaky jug dripping water into a pan on the floor. No matter how closely you looked for something out of the ordinary (the fish clustered against one side of their bowl, for instance, or the drops of water missing the pan), Galileo went on, "you could not tell from any of them whether the ship was moving or standing still."
The same holds for the Earth itself, and all its passengers, as it speeds along on its voyage. The speeding Earth, which races in its orbit at about eighteen miles per second, is as safe and solid a home as a ship safely moored at anchor in a mirror-smooth sea.
Even today, Galileo's insight doesn't come naturally. We believe him, though, because we've all carried out countless tests of our own. It sometimes happens, for instance, that we're speeding down the highway, with the car windows rolled up, when we notice a fly buzzing around. The car might be traveling at 70 miles per hour, much faster than any fly can manage, and yet the fly continues unperturbed. Why doesn't the back window slam into it at 70 miles per hour?
Or think about traveling by plane. Drop your phone in a jet and during the fraction of a second it takes to hit the floor, the plane will have traveled perhaps a hundred yards. How is it that it falls at your feet and not a football field behind you? For that matter, how can the flight attendants dare to pour coffee? While the coffee is in midair, on its way to the cup but not yet there, the cup itself will have moved hundreds of feet. How can the crew serve first-class without scalding everyone in economy?
"A company of chessmen standing on the same squares of the chessboard where we left them, we say are all in the same place or unmoved: though perhaps the chessboard has been in the meantime carried out of one room into another." So wrote the philosopher John Locke in 1690, in one of the earliest discussions of relativity. Whether the board sits on a table or is carried from here to there makes no difference to how the game is played. As for the chess pieces, so for us. Whether the Earth sits immobile at the center of the cosmos or speeds around the sun, all our activities go on in their customary ways.

Q: Average cost of getting a specific card from deck of 9? In a game, I am looking to draw the hero card out of 9 possible cards. The first card (full deck) costs 300 gems. All subsequent draws cost 600 gems.
I can either keep drawing one card at a time till I hit the hero card or reset the game at any point. Once I get the hero card, I reset and try again till my gems run out.
Will it cost fewer gems to procure hero cards by drawing without replacement or resetting after each draw?

A: The cost per hero is the same regardless of if/when you reset. Say you have a policy of resetting after the $n^{th}$ draw. The probability of drawing the hero on the $i^{th}$ draw is $\frac{1}{9}$, and the probability of drawing the hero for any given deck is $\frac{n}{9}$. For decks that you successfully draw the hero, the expected number of draws is $\frac{n+1}{2}$, 1 of which costs 300, and $\frac{n-1}{2}$ of which cost 600.
The expected cost per hero, then, is
$$\bigg[300+\frac{n-1}{2}600\bigg]\frac{9}{n}=2700$$
which does not depend on $n$.
We can check this with a quick simulation in R:
sapply(1:9, function(n) (300L + mean(sample(0:(n - 1L), 1e6, 1)*600L))*9L/n)
#> [1] 2700.000 2699.506 2701.024 2702.126 2699.152 2700.079 2696.858 2701.995 2699.398

A: It will cost the same whether you draw without replacement until you draw the hero card or you reset each time. However, resetting after any other number of draws will cost you more.
If you reset after $n$ draws, then:

*

*The cost of each game you win (draw the hero) is $(300 + (n - 1) / 2 * 600)$

*The cost of each game you lose (do not draw the hero) is $(300 + (n - 1) * 600)$

*The probability of drawing the hero $n/9$, so the number of losses per win is $(9 - n) / n$
Therefore the expected cost per win is $(300 + (n - 1) / 2 * 600) + ((300 + (n - 1) * 600)) * (9 - n) / n$. This gives the following expected costs:

Draws before reset (n)
Expected cost per win

1
2700.0

2
3750.0

3
3900.0

4
3825.0

5
3660.0

6
3450.0

7
3214.3

8
2962.5

9
2700.0

This result can be verified using the follow python code simulation:
import random

deck_size = 9
first_draw_cost = 300
cost_per_draw = 600

def game (runs, num_draws):
    wins = 0
    total_cost = 0

    for _ in range(runs):
        draw = random.randint(0, deck_size-1)
        if draw < num_draws:
            wins += 1
            total_cost += first_draw_cost + draw * cost_per_draw
        else:
            total_cost += first_draw_cost + (num_draws - 1) * cost_per_draw

    if wins == 0:
        print(f'No wins with {num_draws} draws per game. Total cost {total_cost:0.2f}')
    else:
        expected_cost = total_cost / wins
        print(f'Expected cost per win with {num_draws} draws per game: {expected_cost:0.2f} - {wins} wins')

runs = 1000000
for nd in range (1, 10):
    game(runs, nd)

Which produces the results:
Expected cost per win with 1 draws per game: 2710.37 - 110686 wins
Expected cost per win with 2 draws per game: 3746.81 - 222347 wins
Expected cost per win with 3 draws per game: 3905.17 - 332937 wins
Expected cost per win with 4 draws per game: 3834.44 - 443439 wins
Expected cost per win with 5 draws per game: 3662.88 - 555129 wins
Expected cost per win with 6 draws per game: 3448.85 - 666916 wins
Expected cost per win with 7 draws per game: 3213.03 - 777850 wins
Expected cost per win with 8 draws per game: 2959.09 - 889083 wins
Expected cost per win with 9 draws per game: 2699.62 - 1000000 wins

Junior Luke Staley discussed the importance of getting involved in local politics and voting in the midterm election, in which local positions are decided.
Junior Luke Staley, who double majors in political science and English, discussed the importance of getting involved in local politics and voting in the midterm election, in which local positions are decided.
Staley suggested taking just 20 minutes to research the candidates online and submitting an absentee ballot if you can't make it to the polls.
Staley also believes civic engagement beyond voting is extremely important. He encourages people to post on social media, pass out fliers, knock on doors, call or write candidates, and volunteer. He volunteered for the campaign of Danny Ferrar, who is running for one of the at-large seats on the Frederick County Council. He is a former U.S. Army veteran and the founder of Soldierfit, a military-inspired boot camp with a focus on fitness. Staley met Farrar at a charity event sponsored by the Hood Republicans.
Students who are interested in volunteering for campaigns should reach out to political science professors at college or social studies teachers in high school.


Boston being a truly elegant city hosts a wonderful array of culinary experiences. There are many fine dining restaurants but also plenty of options for eating out for the more casual tourist. Try something different and enjoy a lunch or dinner cruise in Boston's harbor.
Boston has such a variety of restaurants to offer that you can enjoy a different genre of food every single day. This cultural hub offers Italian, Mexican, Cambodian, Ethiopian, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Afghan, French, Russian and many more restaurants.
Lovely breakfasts to start your day are plentiful in Boston. Highland Kitchen was voted the best place to have brunch in Boston by Bostonians. Two other great breakfast diners that are very popular in Boston are the Paramount and Zaftig. Get to either of these places early or you will have to wait in line; but it is worth the wait.
It is broadly debated as to which of the two make the best pancakes. Other wonderful breakfast venues are Soundbites Café, Metropolis Café, Thornton's Restaurant (which possibly has the largest menu) and Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe.
If you're in Beantown on a tight budget then some good advice is to have a Cambodian style lunch at Carambola. Their lunch box meals at half the price are superbly put together with unique juices to choose from. They also offer plenty of hearty specials for lunch and dinner.
If you would like a meal with a twist while in Boston then why not try one of the many Ethiopian restaurants. Ethiopian eating encourages eating with your hands and restaurants such as Asmara Restaurant in Cambridge offer fabulous culinary adventures and superb service.
For a pub dinner there is no better place than Lower Depths Tap Room, known for their outstanding burgers. When you are in Boston be sure to pop in for a pint and burger. If you missed dinner or feel like a late night snack then Franklin Café is the place to go. There is always a lively and hospitable atmosphere to greet you. Franklin's is also great place to make new friends.
While it is fun to go out and experiment with different restaurants, the more cautious may go with the restaurants that Bostonians voted the best. For Italian dining Cantina Italiana was voted best.
Estragon Tapas Bar is a Spanish restaurant that offers very unique meals for the more daring palates however if you are not brave they cater for the shy palate as well. Grill 23 & Bar is the place to go for meat eaters; if a good steak is what you want for dinner you will not be disappointed.
Oringer makes the meals so beautiful that you may feel bad about having to defile his art to enjoy his extremely delicious cooking.

MRDC-YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS' NETWORK
Young Entrepreneurs Network (YEN), is a brainchild of the Masterpiece Resource Development Centre (MRDC). YEN was established in 2008 "to raise an entrepreneurial community that will engage, connect, synergise and network with one another so that their businesses will become successful, sustainable and trans generational.
The Young Entrepreneurs Network was launched on the 17th of June 2009 and alliances were created with other business. The network which started with two members has grown to a strong network of about 100 entrepreneurs who are active in their different areas of enterprise. The network also provides one on one business development counsel and consultancy to its members. This interesting and working template is presently been used to consult for different organizations such as National Association of Small and Medium Enterprise Lagos State Chapter (NASME), South west Catholic Diocese to mention a few. The network also organizes different programs to develop and expose its members and these include: monthly meeting tagged 'Business Out of the Box', annual conference where we have hosted various top speakers and entrepreneurs such as Mrs Adenike Ogunlesi (C.E.O Ruff n Tumble), Tara Fela Durotoye (C.E.O House of Tara), Mr Tonye Cole (C.E.O Sahara Group), Mr. Frank Aigbogun (C.E.O Business Day), Mr. Abiola Popoola (President CIPM), Austin Okere of Computer Warehouse Group, Mr. Dapo Adelegan (C.E.O PR Africa) to mention a few. In an attempt to further promote the spirit of enterprise among young children, YEN Business club was established to catch teenagers early in Secondary schools in the country such as Grange, Dansol etc."

Bricks to all greenhouses! Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant!
The cliffrose is practical as well as pretty. […] The Indians too, a practical people, once used the bark of this plant for sandals, mats and rope, and the Hopi medicine man is said, even today, to mash and cook the leaves as an emetic for his patients.
Edward Abbey wrote about the desert landscape the way M.F.K. Fisher wrote about food – soaked with poetry and philosophy and sympathetic history. Though he no holds "no preference among flowers," every "rose" is his best and deepest love, and every scraping of dirt holds the blood of creation.
If I had my life to live over, with considerably more hours in each day, I'd want to live a journey like his, or at least have time to read and re-read books like his. Today, if nothing else, I can share an excerpt.
And, if I let go and focus on that there are only so many hours in a day and years in a life, I might just remember to really see and live the day in which I am.

The town of Runswick Bay, about 9 miles from Whitby as seen from the beach, looking west.
The car park is up the ramp to the left, not far up the hill.
Our best finds came from the beach rubble between the east end of the beach and the corner.
Around the corner is Kettleness.
This is typical of the rubble on the beach. Keep looking for the grey nodules.
Here is a nodule in situ within a fallen block of shale.
The next tide will likely reduce this block to chips and scatter the nodule into the beach rubble.
I saved it from that cruel fate!
The nodule shows some of the ammonite within.
Other fossils are also to be found. This excellent belemnite was just lying there on the beach.
This too, will become part of the shingle in a matter of days.
I found two similarly sized belemnites, that day.
were found in an afternoon at the east end of the bay.
We waited until we were at our friend's house in Somerset to split most of the nodules.
This nodule was found in the rubble.
It is quite inconspicuous if your eye is not tuned to the color and shape.
I dropped it from shoulder height onto a hard rock and out popped the ammonite.
I took it back to Whitby and had Byron Blessed clean it for me as I was afraid to whack it with the hammer!
Thanks also to Byron Blessed of Natural Wonders and his father warm welcome and for the timely preparation work.


How to Write a Powerful Article for Your Business? Articles can work for any business, anytime and anywhere. Articles can be written once and can remain on the Internet forever. You are duplicating your marketing efforts over and over again. Article marketing is actually called by some as 'Smart Marketing' and should be employed by anybody looking to make an impact on the Internet.
Article marketing can take on a viral state. They can be viewed, re-read and shared among the hundreds of Social Media platforms currently out there. If you can write good content and write in a style that engages your audience you will become even more successful. Article writing has many advantages in marketing so much so that it would be ludicrous to simply ignore it. Any person coming online that wants to make money should consider the joys of writing articles for their business. Not only it is very cost effective but it's also easy to find the audiences you are looking through various article submission sites and of course your own blogging presence.
Good writing can capture the imagination of the reader and compel them to take action. The beautiful thing about writing is that you don't have to be an 'expert author' to win the hearts and minds of your target audience or pool of prospects.
You will first need to know what you are going to write about. What is the topic, product or business idea going to be about? Your topic has to be interesting to you if you are going to write a good article about it. It's so much easier to write about something you want to write about than write about something that makes you yawn half way through. If you lose interest guess what? So will your audience. When writing your articles you will need to place a catchy title on them to get them noticed. You can find out what works for other writers or just understand your audience better. What are they really after? Fashion a title around that need so that you can attract their full attention to your writing.
Make the Search Engines Love You!
The correct Keywords create favorable search engine results for your material to be seen by multiples of people. Always make a habit of writing out some keywords that are perfect for what you are trying to market before you start to include them in your writing. There are free tools online that can help you create lists of relevant words such as Google AdWords Keyword Tool.
Make Your Audience Love You – Give Them What They Want!
Who are you writing to? Are they familiar with your ideas already? Do they know about your industry and if so what level of knowledge do you think they are at? If you are writing about 'Online Marketing', are your readers going to know about it? Are they new, experienced or experts? Once you know this type of information you can adjust the details and tone of your communication to suit them and by doing so, you will engage them more.
Don't Lose Your Audience – Know Your Topic!
If you don't know what you are talking about your audience will instantly pick up on it. Depending on the knowledge level of your audience you may need to study up on your chosen topic. You want to come across very familiar with your area of interest. The more you do this, the more reputable you will become.
Engage, Excite – Don't Bore!
Articles can go on for hundreds and in some cases thousands of words, however, in order to maintain interest and keep your audience engaged, we recommend that you keep your articles to a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 700 or 800 words. Anything over this may cause your reader to lose interest and cause them to select another time to read it. This in most cases never happens!
Your introduction should state a fact about your industry and introduce the purpose of your article. Don't get specific here, just keep it general, specifics will come throughout the body of the article. The introduction should only be a short paragraph and should lead into the body of your article. Here you will discuss your specifics.
The body of your article should be broken into further paragraphs, each one talking about a separate point or area you mentioned briefly in your introduction. Each opening sentence in each paragraph should open with what you are going to speak about in that paragraph. It's really simple!
Once you've completed your body paragraphs, you need to tie your article together. This is done by garnishing it with a conclusion. You can make this similar in length to your introduction but do not use the same wording. Your conclusion should state that your previous points establish your perspective or argument and that the best solution now is to take action!
By completing the resource box in your article floor you'll be able to provide a small business description of yourself and provide a link to your site. The more articles you have the more of your links are out there on the web for millions of viewers to see, click and hopefully take action. Your resource box can produce magical results!
Read your article out loud to yourself and make sure that there are no missed words, additional words, misspellings or grammatical errors. If you are unsure about using correct grammar, you can easily Google 'basic writing grammar' and you will get tones of information on it.
Read your article out loud again and this time, pay attention to how smooth each sentence reads. If you have to stop and think about understanding a particular sentence, you need to make it more flowing. Keep it simple and don't complicate your sentences with unnecessary words, phrases or punctuation.
You can now upload you work to your blog or submit it to some of the Article Directories. You are now ready to enjoy the fruits of your writing labor. The more you write the better you get at it. One of the keys to good article writing is to write as though you would speak. We naturally tend to speak very smoothly and in a very understandable way. If you can translate this to your writing you can become a very influential person and successful writer.
