Well-written articles possess the power of bringing traffic to a web site. The more articles that are written, the more traffic to that website. Writing one quality article may be easy but once you are drafting number five or ten the topics and content may be hard to come up with. Here are some useful guidelines to make drafting your 15-20 articles easier.
A quality written, content rich article posses the ability to drive traffic to a website. Just one article, however, will not be enough. The more articles, the more traffic. Writing a series of 15-20 articles may sound overwhelming but, with the proper approach, is achievable.
Before you start your first article you should develop an outline. An outline becomes the design or blueprint for your articles. This writing tool will guide you in creating the introduction, content, and conclusion of all your articles.
Perform diligent research on the topic filtering out the top 20 topics to write on, creating an outline for each. Sort information into the appropriate outline as you come across it. This now becomes your working document for your article series.
Once the outline, or rough sketch, is finished it is time to put the information you gathered into your own words. Never plagiarize another author's work. Use that information as research ONLY.
Once you have gone through the research process you will have a greater topical knowledge and be able to write in your own tongue.
Tell them what you're going to say.
- Start with a good introduction that creates interest among the readers.
Say it.
- The second paragraph needs to validate your knowledge of the issue you laid out in your introduction. Keep the flow of your content going smoothly through short paragraphs.
If the information allows use numbers or bullet points to make the information easier to read.
Tell them what you just said.
- The conclusion should wrap up the topic, important content, and how this information is or can be used.
The long articles put off the interest of the readers. Remember! The Internet is full of various web sites that provide similar articles. A reader will leave your site if he finds the article uninformative or boring.
So, always keep the word limit of the article within 400 to 600.
Call to action is the last impression you will have on a reader of your article. What do you want them to do now? Why should they click on your link. The one word that will get a response is 'free'.
Offer a free eBook, special report, 15 minute consultation, or a free chapter in the book you are selling in return for joining your mailing list. If your 'call to action' does not get their name then you have wasted your time.
Writing quality articles that are theme content rich is the most popular approach to share information and secure good traffic to your web site. The information above will assist you in writing a quality series of articles for your web site and article directories.
