Write Your Own Articles in Six Easy Steps

By Anne T Miller


Have you noticed the SEO and marketing trends related to article writing? If you spend any time on the internet, then surely you have. Articles submitted to article directories or posted on your blog are an integral part of being successful on the internet. The internet is a boundless web where people go to find information. If you do not provide some of that information, you cannot expect anyone to find you out there. It is time for you to start writing and submitting articles. Not sure how? Read on and you will be writing your own articles in no time.

Step 1- Read articles

One of the best things you can do before you start writing is to read other articles. Read articles that describe how to write articles. Read articles that tell you how to write better articles. Read articles written by others in your niche. Through your reading you will discover strategies for writing, and the format an article should adhere to. More importantly, you will learn what others in your field have to say and how they say it. You will also find the gaps you can fill.

Step 2- Know what you want to talk about

After you have read other articles and are ready to begin, take the time to decide what you want to say. Before writing any articles make a list of possible topics you can write about. When you sit down to write your article, take a minute and jot down the key points you want to make in the article. This will give you an idea of where you are going, and it will help you stay on track. Articles should be short and stick to one major idea.

Step 3 - Write engaging titles

Write a powerful and interesting title. It should give the reader an idea of the overall gist of the article. Your title should also contain the keywords you are focusing on.

Step 4 - Write a strong opening

If your first few sentences do not grab the attention of the reader, they will abandon your article and move on to a different one. Your beginning should be the hook. Your keywords should be included in the beginning of your article.

Step 5 - Keep your paragraphs short

When people read for information on the internet they are actually only scanning the page for the information they want. Make it easy for your readers; keep your paragraphs short so they do not get bogged down. You can also use bullet points, subheadings, and numbering.

Step 6 - Write a strong closing

Write a closing for your article that is strong and makes the reader feel that they have had a complete reading experience. If possible, loop back to the beginning and connect to your opening idea.

Follow these easy steps and watch your SEO and marketing efforts take off!
