If this is the first time that you will be writing using WordPress, the writing platform in SimplyEducate.me, this simple tutorial is for you. Here are steps you can follow to get started:
Step 1. Add New Post
Once you are logged in the site, look for the Posts link at the left side of your dashboard. Hover your mouse cursor over it and select Add New.
Enter the title of your article in the space provided by clicking on the grayed-out font “Enter title here.” Make your title short but meaningful. It is here where you place your relevant keywords.
In writing your post, make only two to three sentences per paragraph. Doing so makes your article search-engine friendly as it is easy to read. Writing online is unlike writing a conventional essay where your paragraphs are too long.
Online readers are impatient and would spend only 15 seconds or less to browse your article if it’s a worthy read. SimplyEducate.me is designed to load within 4 seconds or less, thus having a greater advantage over other writing sites in terms of speed.
Step 2. Save Draft and Preview
After you have finished writing your 600-word or more article, save your draft by clicking Save Draft in the upper right side of your dashboard. You may then Preview your article to see if it looks good upon submission to the editor.
Don’t submit yet. Review your article and check for spelling or grammatical errors. Be mindful that your article will reflect how good an author you are. Do your best.
Step 3. Categories and Tags
Proceed to the Categories box and click on all relevant and appropriate categories for your article. Underneath the Categories box is the Tag box. Choose from the most used tags link or write your own tags in the space provided. Limit tags to only 3 or 4.
Leave the Format as is.
Step 4. Submit Your Article
After thoroughly reviewing your work, you are now ready to submit your article. Click on the Submit for Review button or Publish button (for those granted the privilege of author or editor).
The articles of writers who are upgraded to Author or Editor level will be published right away. Authors, however, are able to edit their own articles only. Editors are given the privilege of editing the work of Authors and Contributors.
Enjoy writing!
