How to stop my puppy biting and nipping?

Every time my puppy bites me, I reacted by punishing him with a simple Sharp "NO" and letting him know it hurts, but every time I do it he gets even angrier and tries to snap at me (causing my skin to break), how can I keep him from biting?

1.Regularly feed your pet.When they start getting hungry, dogs will naturally bark for food.There’s a unique doggie howl, bark or growl for when they’re hungry.Feeding them on a regular schedule will teach them barking is not needed for food to come.
2.Be certain your dog gets enough daily exercise.Dogs have energy in abundance; they must use it up daily.If not, they get jumpy.Whether it’s rain or shine on any given day, let your dog have enough exercise – no exceptions.There are many things you can do indoors if the weather’s bad one day.
3 .Get your dog some company or some new things to play with.Dogs are prone to separation anxiety because they’re pack animals.Having a toy or another animal to have fun with rids the dog of anxiety.If you leave your pet to attend to a neighbor who has their dog along, be sure your dog doesn’t see.Don’t have your dog hear you doing something exciting or interesting.Dogs like doing things with people and would bark to let you know they want to join.
4.It’s important for your dog to know when barking is appropriate and when it isn’t.Teach your dog to respond to, “Be still” or “Quiet”.Dogs tend to be very protective of their territories.Dogs bark when they see something strange.Being alerted to strange things or people around your house is a good thing.But beyond that, you want your dog not to bark at normal people passing by – joggers, kids playing and such.Drill your dog to bark only on sight of strange circumstances.But the most important of all is to have your dog learn to cease barking on a single command.
