A Tip for You: How to Write Effective and Responsive Articles

Posted for month of May, 2008

Received this in our inbox and thought we could share this info to our readers:

Hi ******,

Writing articles is not as difficult or as complicated as most people think. You just need to write in your own style and at an 8th grade reader level.

- Don’t try to impress your readers with your sheer intelligence.
- Don’t use big words when you can use much simpler, shorter words that have the same meaning.
- Don’t bore your readers. Add some sizzle and spice.
- Be unique and show your personality. Don’t be afraid to be yourself.

Each article you write should be approximately 400-700 words. So always keep your articles short, sweet, concise… and to the point.

When adding articles (as content) to your website, you can make your article as long as you’d like, however when submitting these articles to article directories to promote your website you want to follow their strict guidelines which usually involve a specific maximum word count and format.

Use bulleted points and break up lines of text with transitional effects like this… and this - or use (parenthesis like this) to make it easier on your reader’s eyes.

A well written article should consist of short sentences and short paragraphs, bulleted points and sub-headings, each addressing a specific point of topic in your article.

Stay focused on your topic and provide useful information. Quality is most important! Do your research and write your articles to educate your readers.

Folks like it when you’re specific… so give them specifics. Offer links to additional resources if needed. Also, use popular search engines like Google and Yahoo to read over similar articles and find websites focused on your subject to research your topic.

There’s nothing illegal or unethical about using information you’ve discovered from another article or website to create an
article of your very own. Just remember - NEVER copy someone else’s work word for word. This is copyright infringement.

You can take notes from an informative article you’ve read and use that information to write your own article just as long as you put things into your own words.

For example:

Let’s say you wanted to write an article you don’t know much about. What you should do is list whatever you know about this subject in an easy to reference list.

Next, go to Google and do a few searches on the topic. I’m sure you’ll find several listings related to the subject. Yes, you might have to be clever in your search, but rest assured - you’ll find the info if you dig deep enough.

Then, read over the best of those articles and websites you find and make yourself an ultra-resourceful list on your topic. Finally, take your notes and construct your own article in a simple, easy to read format. That’s all there is to it.

It’s important that you want to provide superior, quality information in each and every article you write, however having said that, you also want to try to be somewhat clever in your approach.

The best articles I’ve written provide great content, but also leave out some additional information that your reader would love to have in order to truly benefit completely from your knowledge and expertise.

You can then include a “resource box” at the end of the article that touches on this “extra” information to entice your readers to visit your page so you can convince them to signup for your list. This way you have multiple chances to sell them by creating a
relationship and earning their trust.
