Article Writing Tips From Spongebob Squarepants
Nicole Dean
Wisdom can be found in the most unexpected places. Today,
wisdom bubbled up from a pineapple under the sea. I suddenly
realized that everything you'd want to know about writing
articles for your website can be taught by SpongeBob
SquarePants and his friends.
When you write for your newsletter, blog, or website, which
character are you most like?
Squidward: Squidward is B-O-R-I-N-G. When writing articles, are
you a Squidward? Do you just get the words down on paper or are
you finding a fun twist to entertain your audience and keep
them coming back for more? Take time to make your articles
stand out from the thousands of other dull articles out there
by including personal stories or just having fun while writing.
For instance, this article could be entitled "How to Write a
Good Article", but would it stand out from the hundreds of
other articles about article writing? Probably not.
Mr. Krabs: This crustacean is focused on one thing and one
thing only, making more and more and more money. Only a cartoon
could actually have dollar signs drawn in his eyes. He thinks of
no one, only how he can benefit. Are your articles focused on
you or on the reader? Are you providing information or do you
have blinders on, thinking only about how you can make money
from the article you are writing? If your article reads like an
ad or is self-serving or full of affiliate links, you might
write like Mr. Krabs.
Patrick: SpongeBob's best friend, the starfish, has a good
heart, but isn't the brightest creature in the sea. Do your
articles make you sound like an expert? Are you providing
valuable content or just pushing out sloppy articles as fast as
you can? Always double check for typos and grammatical errors.
If you're challenged by spelling and grammar, hire a Virtual
Assistant or Copywriter to proofread and submit your article
for you. Or slow down, set your article aside for a day and
then reread it before you click the "submit" button.
Plankton: The smallest creature in the sea is also the
sneakiest. He'll do anything and hurt anyone to steal someone
else's work (the Krabby Pattie secret formula). Write your own
material. Don't be Plankton. Don't copy and paste someone
else's work, edit it, and try to pass it off as your own. You
will be caught, and it just isn't worth it. Take the same
amount of effort and work on your own thoughts and ideas.
Plankton never gets away with his schemes, either. He's on Plan
"Z" and is still pathetically failing at his attempts to steal
the secret formula.
SpongeBob: This little guy always tries to do the right thing,
and is a hard worker. He may not always end up getting the
results he hoped for, but he bounces back and tackles his work
with a renewed vigor. SpongeBob works very hard, he's a good
friend, he always thinks of others, and tries to have fun no
matter what he is faced with. Hardworking, friendly SpongeBob
is the guy to be when writing articles.
Although this is a silly lesson in article writing, I hope
you'll remember the important messages our underwater friends
have taught us.
1. Be entertaining. Not boring.
2. Write articles to help others, not with dollar signs in your
eyes.
3. Proofread your articles carefully, and provide valuable
information.
4. Write your own material. Don't copy others.
5. Be a SpongeBob! Hard work and persistence pay off.
Before you know it, you'll develop a following for having
informative and entertaining articles and you'll be King or
Queen of the sea.
