Bassin’ America would like your help in providing quality articles to all it’s members. By writing articles and allowing them to be published free of charge, your articles will have the potential to be viewed by millions of Internet users. In addition, they will be displayed in article archives on our high traffic website. Here is some general information that may help you in creating your articles:

Short articles are preferred, between 500 and 750 words. Bass fishing “Hot Tips” of a few sentences or a short paragraph are extremely popular. Articles should be formatted to 65 characters per line or less including spaces and written in short paragraph sections.

When you begin writing your article, avoid using your standard word processing programs, as they do not allow for proper formatting. Instead, use a text editor such as Notepad. It should already be installed on your computer in:

START > PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > NOTE PAD

When you begin typing your article, use a hard carriage return (hit enter) when your text reaches 65 characters, including spaces, and leave a space between your paragraphs. This will enable our publisher to easily copy and paste your article into our website or publication and significantly increase your chances of being published.
Here are some basicguidelines to help you increase your chances of being published:

  • Your article must be properly formatted. Publishers won’t take the time to format your article, they’ll simply use another article that is properly formatted
  • Select a descriptive title to intrigue your readers
  • Use proper grammar and spelling. Spell check! Read your article! Spell check… AGAIN!
  • Avoid articles that are nothing more than a sales pitch, as your chances of being published will be minimal
  • Avoid referring readers to an affiliate URL as this will make your article appear to be biased and untrustworthy
