Internet Marketing - How to Write an Article

Where do you start when you are writing an article? You know writing articles for online distribution is important to your internet success, but you sit down at the computer to write and your mind goes blank.

Here is how I do it.

I pull up the categories section in my favorite article directory, and search through the categories and subcategories to find out what I want to write about.

I give my article a simple title, for example, ‘How to…..’, ‘or The Best 10 Steps to….’, or even ‘What (insert topic) means to me’

Next, I outline in my mind how the article will be structured to get the most information across with the fewest words possible.

After that, I begin to write. I write some introductory stuff about the topic, in the first paragraph.

Then I start writing, starting with the first thing I want to teach or give. And then to the second. Etc.

I remember that my audience is not going to be captive for long, so I tend to write short articles.

I write in a conversational tone. Like you and I are sitting at lunch in our favorite booth at the neighborhood diner.

I try to give specific, useful points in each article, things that the reader (you ) can immediately take away from the article and put to good use.

I include a compelling bio so that people reading my articles will click through to my websites to see what I offer.

That is about it--Oh, one more thing - I write a lot. A couple of hours a day. Some days 10 articles, some days 15 or 20.

I believe that if something is working for you, you should do it right and do it big. And article writing is working for me, and driving a ridiculous amount of traffic my way.
