Online Web Content Writer Resources

[mmed1905]

One of the oldest resources I can remember:
Welcome to the Purdue University Online Writing Lab (OWL)
Purdue Online Writing Lab.
It serves as a good reference for writing.

Not sure if this one has been mentioned, but I use articlechecker.com if I have been using PLR articles to inspire me. They check % article is unique.

I am running this now on one of my articles. I like this checker but I am a little confused!

Total Matched Phrases / Total Submitted 0% (0/46)

I don't grasp the 46. Is that similar articles Google suspected but they were not a match?

I am subscribe in FUELYOURBLOGGING

[Kostrzewski]

I hired these guys to write my site. They concentrate on SEO content writing. I also like to use a English Style Manual when I can-

Maybe you didn't notice, but we have an entire thread devoted to grammar.

Phrases.org is a good site, but it isn't a free resource. I've also found that that phrases.net and the idioms section of the free dictionary also provide the inspiration I need to come up with an interesting phrase.

[small marketer]

I frequently use Oxford Collocations Dictionary

[Frank-Punk]

Thanks for the share Shyflower! I generally get my inspiration from my own experience combined with what I read on forums.
Forums are a great source of potential inspiration, at least in my main niche which is pets, everything from aquarium fish to dogs and cats.
I've foud that every time I was lacking inspiration, visiting a related forum would do the trick.

[Jeremy Carol]

I try to write more urban and so i prefer using Urban Dictionary, funny though that at first seemed only games and fun to use Urban Dictionary, but now it seems cool

[WebOutGateway]

For grammar checker I use:
http://www.whitesmoke.com/free-online-checker
http://spellcheckplus.com/

For word reference
http://translate.google.com/
http://dictionary.reference.com/

I also write poems so I use this site for rhyming words

Thanks for these useful links
When I want to find synonymous, I just use... a Book.
I also find informations for my post on PRWeb, a press realease website.
To complete my knowledge, I use Wikipedia and Britannica.
And to perfekt my writing style: relevantrhetoric and google-translate (yes, I am not a native speaker ).

You might want to try thesaurus.com. It will save you a lot of time as it is much quicker than paging through a book.

I also find informations for my post on PRWeb, a press realease website.

Good idea. That is actually one of the purposes of press release sites. The web would be a much better place if bloggers harvested press release information instead of copy/pasting other blogs. Also consider, following up an interesting press release by contacting the business for further details about their news or visiting their site (if it's web news) to see it first hand. That's one of the things that separates real journalists from bloggers.

And to perfekt my writing style: relevant rhetoric and google-translate (yes, I am not a native speaker ).

It's always great to see someone introduce a new resource here. Thanks for relevant rhetoric. That's one I hadn't heard of before.

I get a LOT of useful tips and insights from http://www.copyblogger.com/blog/ and http://www.problogger.net/

[Celestia]

Oh that list is too old for you and now most of them does not work properly, so it should be updated but I think there is no bright future in content writing.

[r937]

...but I think there is no bright future in content writing.

so every person in the world that has a web blog or web site should, what, just give up because creating content has no bright future?

i don't think so

[microslushalka]

I think that choosing the right content makes the difference between success and failure on the internet. Thanks for sharing those links, writing powerful articles or web content is not easy (especially if you are not a writer ) and having some extra resources that help you on that is always appreciated.

[Steve Hayes]

I have to add two good resources:
Social Examiner - http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/
Hubspot http://blog.hubspot.com/

Both are excellent!!

Me neither!! I believe in creating world class content!! But I know that is not that easy to get visitors and traffic!!

[pkwrite78]

Hello Shyflower..Such a fantastic thread.
I use Copyscape and Citation Syles very often and I found these two crucial for writing a good content. Sometimes, even the things written by me show some percentage of citation and that is where this tool help me to make my content citation free. The other tools also seems to be highly beneficial.
