Easy Article Writing Tips
Whether you are just starting out with your online business or you are a seasoned professional, writing and distributing articles is one of the most effective and low-cost ways to drive lots of targeted traffic to your site.
Writing articles and submitting them to article directories will get you free traffic when people click on the link in your resource box. It is also a great way to improve search engine rankings, as there will be a lot of incoming links to your site. Let's see how you can start writing articles.
Here are a few tips to get you started.
Write a top ten list
An easy way to get started with an article is to come up with a top ten list. Find a topic related to your business and write ten reasons why someone should buy your product, or provide advice on a topic that relates to your website.
Examples would be the top ten ways to get your baby to sleep through the night, the top ten reasons to write an article, or the top ten reasons to buy car insurance.
Once you have a list of ten items, write a short paragraph about each, explaining the reason in a little more detail. Next, you add an introductory paragraph that draws the reader in to your list.
For example, an introduction to baby sleeping at night article might mention how difficult it is to accomplish during the day and how you are sleep-deprived unless you put your baby to sleep through the night.
Then close your article by either summarizing what you told them in your top ten lists or encouraging them to act on what you just told them.
Congratulations, you have just written an article. Of course, you can easily narrow it down to a top 5 list. Just write a little more about each of your points.
Record your article
Some people like to record themselves talking about a particular topic and then transcribe and edit it into an article. If you find it easier to talk about a particular topic than to write, this could be a great option for you.
Most MP3 players now come with a record option, or you can pick up an inexpensive tape-recorder. Pick a topic and just start talking as if you were explaining it to a friend. Just start rambling, and the ideas will start flowing. Now listen to your tape.
Write down and organize the key points that gave you trouble. Add an introduction and conclusion, and you have another article.
Hire a ghostwriter
If you are having a hard time writing articles, or don't have the time to do it, you can still benefit from article marketing by hiring a ghostwriter.
Ghostwriters will write unique articles for you that become your intellectual property. You can post them as your work on your site, your blog, as well as on article directories.
You can find ghostwriters on sites like Elance. There are also some freelance writers out there who have their own websites. You can usually buy articles for anywhere between $5 – $65.
Write an outline and ask someone else to turn it into an article
Another option if you don't want to do all the writing yourself is for you to write a basic outline of the article and the point you want to make.
Write down any article ideas you have, then ask a friend or hire someone to create an article for you. You may be more comfortable going forward by treating these articles as your own, because the content of the article was your original idea. Someone else put it into an article format for you.
There's no reason why you shouldn't get started with article marketing one way or another. Get some articles out there and then sit back and watch the traffic come and go.
You will be so impressed with the results you can get from even a handful of articles, you will keep writing and submitting them all the time. Money Online.
