How to Write an Article

Hi,

Recently I've heard lots of people asking questions about getting quality traffic through publishing articles.

So I decided to be generous and throw a few tips on the table, focused on writing interesting articles. Are you all ears? I hope so:)

What is an article by the way?

It's a factual piece, often described as a feature, and usually conveys information, for example..... { how to stop smoking, increase your sense of morals through martial arts, choose the right career for your self}

So what is the magic formula to writing articles?...well there isn't one:)

The best way to learn how to write is to simply write. Your own style will begin to emerge with time. Have fun with it and don't take it too seriously. Do you need to structure the content? Of course.

So here is a quick step by step approach:

- select a possible market, make sure it is what you are interested in...

- chose your subject

- consider all the possible angles on your subject, listing them in any order for now

- sort out the best points and avoid repetition

- decide if you need more information, if you do fire up google, do some research and keep notes.

- plan what order your points should take, bearing in mind that the opening must have real impact. Often writers begin with a question in order to involve the reader at the outset. The various points you have written earlier must now be arranged in a logical sequence so that the paragraphs flow smoothly towards a strong ending; in other words you need to save your most vital and vibrant point till last.

- write the first draft. Then streamline the prose and keep the readers interest by rearranging the written material.

- chose a short and appropriate title

- verify all of the facts, making sure they are up to date. Be accurate and precise at all times.

- keep on rewriting until you are satisfied with it. Now is the time for you to get constructive criticism from other writers, so you get a different perspective from a "unattached eye and heart" to your work.

- when you feel that your article is ready for submission, check all the spelling and grammar and save it to a disk.

I hope you benefited from this article and good luck with your marketing!
