I did it! I am now considered an expert writer by www.ezinearticles.com. But I have an admission to make - things didn't go the way they were meant to go. Let me explain. 31st October and I was yet to submit 10 articles to reach my expert status. How embarrassing. That's what happens when you make a public challenge - you have to do it or be embarrassed. No problem I thought. I will have a big night and submit the next nine articles in one go. They are mostly written anyway, I just have to finish them off and submit. But there was something I didn't count on. I submitted my first article a few days before the deadline and the email I received told me it would take a few days before it was approved. When the day of the deadline arrived I still had not received the approval. Oh no, what to do? But here's the good news. At the 11th hour I received an email approving my article and congratulating me on achieving expert author status after only 1 article!</p> <p>So I did it - but I do feel as though I cheated. I have emailed them to ask them why I was approved after only 1 article though when I emailed Kristi to tell her, her response was "must have been a great article". You be the judge. Here is the link to the article:http://www.ezinearticles.com/?How-To-Create-andamp;-Sell-e-Books-for-Passive-Income---Guaranteed&id=806114</p> <p>Cheers Janet</p> Well here is my update on my challenge.

Only 9 days to go!</p> <p>Well I have made some progress. I have lots of draft articles that have been created from the transcripts of the interviews you listen to every week. I need to set some time aside to edit the articles and make sure they express exactly what I want to say. I can see me submitting 10 articles at once at this rate. I'm very tempted to delegate the article submission to my Wonderful Virtual Assistants Lisa and Laura. This is something I will definitely do as part of our systematic marketing but I really think I will need to submit the first ten articles myself before I outsource - what do you think?</p> <p>I'll let you know what I learn. As I do with everything (and I encourage you to do the same) I will be creating a checklist of the steps I need to take to submit an article the way I decide I like. That way I can easily outsource when I am ready. Cheers Janet</p> Oh dear, 12 days since my challenge – I better get moving. Only 9 days to go!

I signed up for an account at www.ezinearticles.com tonight. 11.49pm here but thought I would do this before going to bed. Sign up is easy and they have stacks of guidelines there for you to follow. It all seems pretty friendly. I went into account manage / account preferences and changed my preferences so that I can use the WYSIWYG html editor. This is so I don't have to write any code to make the text bold, italics etc. An important point I noted in there. If you write your article in MSWord, make sure you don't use ', ", = or 3 spaces. When it is changed to html when people send your article out via email it will replace it with &#? etc. They give instructions on how to fix this in there. This is so good to know as you may notice sometimes the emails I send out have some gobbledegook in them. This is what is causing the problem. Now I know how to prevent it (I hope). So, I'm on a mission to meet my expert status challenge. How about you? Let us all know of any progress you make meeting my challenge. Go on, I dare you ;) Cheers Janet</p> Hi folks
