Tips for self-editing:

1.       Proofread! Please don’t ever, ever submit a tip without reading it first. Bonus: Read it out loud to be sure it sounds right.

2.       Spell check. Those little red squiggly lines mean you misspelled a word.

3.       Did you use the required keyword? Did you buffer it with a few additional keywords?

4.       Don’t forget to fill in the question, mobile and meta description fields.

5.       Did you give your tip a title? Did you capitalize all important non-prepositional words?

6.       And finally, are you considering a tattoo? Think before you ink.
