If you have just started writing articles to promote your business, the simplest article to write is the list article that uses numbers or bullet points to give information.
In your niche, you can easily write about the top 3 best ways to get sales or the top 4 tips to succeed or the top 8 things to watch out for. By expanding to a larger sphere about your specialized subject, your list article can be about the worst places to promote or the best advice on marketing.
A list article is rapid to write because it only needs a catchy title, an introductory paragraph, the list of your tips and you can end with a paragraph that summarizes it all if you wish.
Making the article larger is easy to do with a few extra paragraphs at the beginning and giving a fuller explanation for each tip that you are writing about. Make the beginning paragraphs interesting enough so that your readers will want to continue to find out about the tips that you are providing.
Here are some key tips to writing a successful article:
1. Give useful information with each tip.
Focus on how the information will be useful for the reader. Explain thoroughly how using the tip will help. Giving real, beneficial information will help you to gain a larger readership.
2. Your article should be aimed at the people that you want to reach.
Speaking about that latest fashion tips in your article when your business is about book reviews is not going to get people to your site or increase your readership. Write your article on how to do a good book review with your resource box with the same type of information at your site, does increase your readership.
3. The appearance of your article should be clean and easy to read.
Providing a clean, easy to read article is inviting to potential readers. The way to do this is to create small paragraphs that have 3-4 sentences of different lengths. When a person starts skimming over an article that is clean looking, he is more apt to stop and read the article.
4. Speak to an individual when writing an article.
Doing so preserves your personality while at the same time, by making it personal, your readers will enjoy your articles more. Making an article that only give facts erases your personality and comes across as boring.
5. Check for mistakes in your article.
A professional article gets a better following. Have you ever read an article or web page online that had spelling or grammar mistakes? Did you keep reading?
