Marketing with Articles – How to Write an Unbiased Review

When you are submitting articles for article marketing, from time to time you might wish to write a “review” article.

For example, if your website is about tennis, you might write an article reviewing the latest rackets. If your website is about travel, you may want to review a luxury resort. If your website is about parenting, you could write a review of the latest baby car seats.

Review articles can be a nice change of pace from your regular essay articles and numbered list articles. The purpose of a review article is to provide your reader with unbiased information that you have gathered about the product, service, or destination that you are reviewing.

There is one major thing you need to be careful about though: Your review article needs to be written in such a way that it does not look promotional. That means that the article does not sound like it is trying to sell anything that would benefit you.

In fact, your review article should not sound like it is trying to sell anything at all. You are simply presenting objective and reliable facts about a product, service or destination. By writing in an unbiased way, you give your article more credibility with publishers and your readers.

Here are some tips for ensuring that your article comes across as unbiased:

1 – Be sure to include both pros and cons about the thing you are reviewing. Even if you absolutely love the product, do your best to also spotlight any potential negatives. This will help give your review credibility.

2 – The language that you use should not sound hyped up or sales-y, like you’re a used car salesman or working on the marketing team for the product. You are just a consumer who has done your homework, and you want to share what you have learned with your audience.

3 – Do not try to get people to buy the thing that you are reviewing–that makes your reader suspicious of your motives. You have no vested interest in getting your reader to buy this product–all you want to do is give them the accurate information that they are looking for.

4 – Refrain from including an affiliate link to the website of the product you are reviewing, either in the article body or in the resource box. An affiliate link communicates that you have something to gain from someone buying the product, which means you have an ulterior motive for writing the article.

5 – Your resource box should not try to sell the item that you were reviewing in your article. If it does, then that makes the article “promotional”–a sales tool for the product.

The #1 reason why articles are declined by publishers is “promotional article”. When you’re writing your review article, use these tips to be sure that it appears completely unbiased. That will increase the likelihood that your article will be accepted and republished by publishers, and it will increase your credibility with your readers.

Writing for Social Scientists: How to Start and Finish Your Thesis, Book, or Article $3.95 Social scientists, whether earnest graduate students or tenured faculty members, clearly know the rules that govern good writing. But for some reason they choose to ignore those guidelines and churn out turgid, pompous, and obscure prose. Distinguished sociologist Howard S. Becker, true to his calling, looks for an explanation for this bizarre behavior not in the psyches of his colleagues but in the structure of his profession. In this highly personal and inspirational volume he considers academic writing as a social activity. Both the means and the reasons for writing a thesis or article or book are socially structured by the organization of graduate study, the requirements for publication, and the conditions for promotion, and the pressures arising from these situations create the writing style so often lampooned and lamented. Drawing on his thirty-five years’ experience as a researcher, writer, and teacher, Becker exposes the foibles of the academic profession to the light of sociological analysis and gentle humor. He also offers eminently useful suggestions for ways to make social scientists better and more productive writers. Among the topics discussed are how to overcome the paralyzing fears of chaos and ridicule that lead to writer’s block; how to rewrite and revise, again and again; how to adopt a persona compatible with lucid prose; how to deal with that academic bugaboo, "the literature." There is also a chapter by Pamela Richards on the personal and professional risks involved in scholarly writing. In recounting his own trials and errors Becker offers his readers not a model to be slavishly imitated but an example to inspire. Throughout, his focus is on the elusivework habits that contribute to good writing, not the more easily learned rules of grammar and punctuation. Although his examples are drawn from sociological literature, his conclusions apply to all fields of social science, and indeed to all areas of scholarly endeavor. The message is clear: you don’t have to write like a social scientist to be one.

Article 5 $17.02 New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., have been abandoned. The Bill of Rights has been revoked, and replaced with the Moral Statutes. There are no more police–instead, there are soldiers. There are no more fines for bad behavior–instead, there are arrests, trials, and maybe worse. People who get arrested usually don’t come back. Seventeen-year-old Ember Miller is old enough to remember that things weren’t always this way. Living with her rebellious single mother, it’s hard for her to forget that people weren’t always arrested for reading the wrong books or staying out after dark. It’s hard to forget that life in the United States used to be different. Ember has perfected the art of keeping a low profile. She knows how to get the things she needs, like food stamps and hand-me-down clothes, and how to pass the random home inspections by the military. Her life is as close to peaceful as circumstances allow. That is, until her mother is arrested for noncompliance with Article 5 of the Moral Statutes. And one of the arresting officers is none other than Chase Jennings…the only boy Ember has ever loved.

Writing for Social Scientists: How to Start and Finish Your Thesis, Book, or Article (Large Print 16pt) $33.92 Students and researchers all write under pressure, and those pressures – most lamentably, the desire to impress your audience rather than to communicate with them – often lead to pretentious prose, academic posturing, and, not infrequently, writer’s block. Sociologist Howard S. Becker has written the classic book on how to conquer these pressures and simply write. First published nearly twenty years ago, Writing for Social Scientists has become a lifesaver for writers in all fields, from beginning students to published authors. Becker’s message is clear; in order to learn how to write, take a deep breath and then begin writing. Revise. Repeat. It is not always an easy process, as Becker wryly relates. Decades of teaching, researching, and writing have given him plenty of material, and Becker neatly exposes the foibles of academia and its ”publish or perish” atmosphere. Wordiness, the passive voice, inserting a ”the way in which” when a simple ”how” will do – all these mechanisms are a part of the social structure of academic writing. By shrugging off such impediments – or at the very least, putting them aside for a few hours – we can reform our work habits and start writing lucidly without worrying about grades, peer approval, or the ”literature.”In this new edition, Becker takes account of major changes in the computer tools available to writers today, and also substantially expands his analysis of how academic institutions create problems for them. As competition in academia grows increasingly heated, Writing for Social Scientists will provide solace to a new generation of frazzled, would-be writers.
