Steps to Writing an Article the Right Way

By James Lynch


Writing an article is an inexpensive and easy way to promote your business and attract high quality traffic to a website. Article marketing helps to build your credibility as an authority in your industry and attract high volumes of quality traffic to your website.

If you follow the simple steps to writing an article below you'll be an article marketing expert in no time.

Step #1: Find your target audience

It's important to get into the mind of your prospect when writing an article. Think about what they'd like to hear and what they are looking for and tailor your article based on their needs.

Once you know what you prospect wants you'll then have a captive audience.

Step #2: Choose your keywords wisely

The main purpose for writing an article is to get your prospect to read your article. The best way to do this is to optimize each article you write with a specific keyword. There are two types of keywords. Long Tailed and Short-Tailed keywords.

An example of a long tailed keyword would be "how to write an article." An example of a short tailed keyword would be "article marketing."

If you're trying to decide which route to go, your best bet is to choose a long tailed keyword when writing an article. It's extremely difficult to rank for short tailed keywords.

Step #3: Select your topic

It's time to choose what topic that you want to write about once you've chosen your long tailed keyword.

For example, if your long-tail keyword is "writing an article," than your topic could be "steps to writing an article correctly."

Step #4: Start writing your article

The most important part to writing an article is to just get started. The process should take less than an hour to finish and don't be too concerned about making sure that it's perfect.

Here's some simple steps to writing an article quickly:

1. Choose 3 main points to your article and make those into one sentence each. 2. Write 3-5 sentences for each of your 3 main points. 3. The 3 main points will be the first sentence of the three main paragraphs. 4. The 3-5 sentences will be the body of each paragraph.

Now that your 3 main paragraphs are complete all you need is an introduction.

*All you need to do is write 3-4 sentences that sum up the the paragraphs and you can make this your introduction.

All that's left now is the conclusion.

*All you need to do is write 2-3 sentences that summarize your main points and you can make this your conclusion.

Step #5: Write article title

When writing the title of the article it's important to do a few things.

1. Put your entire keyword in the title of your article. 2. Put your keyword at the beginning of the title. 3. If you can, make your title a question since people need to have their questions answered.

Step #6: Distribute article

It's very important to distribute your article to as many article sites as possible so your article will rank higher in the search engines.

There are some automated tools that will submit your site automatically to hundreds of directories for you. These tools are a tremendous time saver and are worth the investment. The best tool that I recommend using for submitting articles automatically is Unique Article Wizard.

If you want to achieve top search engine rankings then writing an article is a tremendous way to do it. Just make sure that you write lots of them, not just one.

You can dominate the search engine rankings for years to come using article marketing and the best part is that it's free to do.
