Getting It Right With Your Post

I arrived at a well-known Internet Marketing Blog the other day to follow-up on a direct response for information that the moderator had requested from his readers. As I carefully read through and watched the submitted results, I was continually confronted by misinformation.

The request for information came with a pretty tight deadline, so I could easily understand the errors. However, this got me to thinking about the quality of my own work.

I’m rather fortunate in that I have an editor that follows what I do. Early on though, I really suffered in the quality of work that I submitted to the Blogosphere. I had to work extra hard to make sure that what I posted was at least coherent, though the details of that information were never in question. So while the spelling and grammar need constant attention, the quality of the information that I presented was always right on.

As Internet Marketers as well as Bloggers, we should strive to make sure that what we present to our readers is quality material. By that I mean that your subject should be well researched and accurate. Just like a journalist is held to a high standard of accuracy, fairness, balance, thoroughness, civility, and decency, we also should be held to similar standards if only by ourselves.

Not getting it right provides the proof that we lack insight and understanding into what it is that we are trying to achieve …… making a difference in the lives of others!
