Proofreading Exercises For Your Old Online Writing Articles - Did You Look At Them Recently? Or Your Bio? Ouch!

New Year Resolutions for proofreading exercises for Internet Writers include five important proofing tasks for reviewing their online writing articles with Microsoft Office Word, and of course,for updating their bios!

A whole year has passed since you wrote that bio - what has happened since? Do you need to proofread it for the technology and Web 2.0 changes of the coming year?

1. When did you last peruse your online writing author bios? Bring up the pages and re-read, slowly. Then re-read them out loud. Is the information still relevant and up to date, with a clear and accurate depiction of your writing skills? Or are some facts now out of date? Does the writing style display your author expertise to best effect or does it now make you wince? New Year is a perfect time to read an author bio to family members or friends and find out!

2. So they need changes! Rewrite the parts you feel need attention, and use some proofreading exercises to improve writing quality. Prioritize any areas that now appear jaded. A New Broom sweeps clean, so think about some refreshing revitalising new language and maybe a sharper look with more white space. Shorten your paragraphs and use proofreading exercises which make the language more succinct and direct.

3. Have you ever considered including a writer's photo to your author bio? This adds warmth and charm to your profile, making your online writing seem engaging and credible. If you have several photos with an image hosting company, consider ringing the changes. (That tie or scarf is so last year, maybe?)

4. The internet is a fast-moving environment and things have already picked up pace since last year. Expectations and possibilities can change a lot in a year. Readers on the internet now like authenticity and that includes knowing they are reading quality content from real people. If you have a photo on your profile already, perhaps it's time to look at it with a critical eye. Does it still reflect the real, dynamic you? Or could you present yourself better in a different setting - head and shoulders perhaps, in a fresh and breezy outdoor location?

4. Are all your exciting new accomplishments represented on your writer's profile? Have you completed any courses, sold any articles, won any prizes or badges - or maybe even been published somewhere? Be sure to update your writer's profile and blow your own trumpet!

5. Cast a last eye over your bright new writer's profile to check for professionalism. Compare it to a few other profiles and see that it looks good against the standard of other writers you respect.

Then head off into the bright fresh dawn of a New Year's Writing on the Internet - and see your earnings grow, we hope!
