Article Writing Made Easy

June 11th, 2008 | Marketing

Writing articles is a great way to establish yourself as an expert
in a particular niche. It’s also a great way to get more traffic to
your site while also creating backlinks to your site. But many
people have trouble writing articles. Well, here’s article writing
made easy.

Obviously the first thing you need to do is decide on a topic to
write about. Often the topic can make or break an article. Not only
do you want the topic to be interesting but you also want the topic
to be broad enough to provide good information but specific enough
so that you don’t try to tackle too much information in one article.

Once you have a topic in mind, the next thing you need to do in
order to write the article is to decide what you want to say. A
good rule of thumb is to always have three things you want to say
or teach. This is based on the three prong thesis, which you might
remember from your school days. Once you have your topic and the
three things you want to say, then you’re ready to begin writing
your article.

Article writing made easy requires you to have an introduction
paragraph, a paragraph for each thing you want to say (three
total), and a conclusion paragraph. So your article will usually
be 5 paragraphs in total.

In the introduction you will begin with a broad statement about the
topic of the article. If possible you want to have a hook –
something that will bring the reader in and cause him/her to keep
reading. Then you want to follow-up on the first sentence. Next you
tell the reader what they’re going to read about. You can include
the three things you will tell them in the last sentence of the
introduction.

The body of your article will include a paragraph for each thing
you’re telling them. It’s just that easy to write the main part of
the article. Just follow the three pieces of information and write
about each of them in 3-6 sentences.

The conclusion will just sum-up the entire article. Remind the
reader about what they’ve just read. And then you’ll be finished
writing your article.

Now you see how article writing can be made easy. The hardest part is deciding on a suitable topic and then choosing three quality pieces of information you want to include. Once you do that – and as long as you do it well – then the article will pretty much write itself.

To your success,
