How Webmasters can become Experts and Write Expert Articles!
Write Articles, Be recognized as an Expert, Drive a Surge of
Traffic to your Website, Increase your Link Popularity, Create
Awareness,- yes that is what all Internet Marketers are talking
about.
Article writing certainly does bring such great results to
webmasters but do all articles yield such dividends? Only well
written, thought provoking educative articles attain great
heights. So let us explore how such articles could be written.
Before proceeding further let us keep this gem of an advice at
the back of our minds.” Put it before them Briefly so they will
Read it, Clearly so they will Appreciate it, Picturesquely so
they will Remember it, and above all, Accurately so they will be
guided by it.”–Joseph Pulitzer.
Writing articles require Thinking, Planning, Organizing and
Researching. So to get started, relax quietly, put your thinking
cap on, select a topic that you are most familiar with, say Home
Based Business or Internet Marketing and brains storm your
thoughts.
Write down everything that comes to your mind. It could be a
beautiful sentence, a striking phrase or a technical or
marketing jargon. Jot it down before you loose it and let your
thinking flow. “Writing is no trouble; you just jot down ideas
as they occur to you. The jotting is simplicity itself-it is the
occurring which is difficult.”–Stephen Leeacock.
Researching is an important aspect of article writing. While
researching be Inquisitive, be Curious, and be Focused. Remember
your topic and collect only information related to your topic.
Also keep in mind that while researching you are building a vast
reservoir of knowledge that is going to be of immense value in
running your Home Based Business, Internet Marketing or any
other Online Business.
Prepare an initial draft from the notes taken during the brains
storming session and from the researched material. Strike off
whatever notes you think are irrelevant to the topic. Group all
relevant material under different headings.
If there are several ideas under a heading, then have different
paragraphs for different ideas. At this stage check your grammar
and terminology. See that your ideas are clear and precise. Also
ensure that there is continuity and flow, right from
introduction to conclusion.
Once your draft is written, leave it aside for a few hours or
even for a day or so. This process will help you to bring new
ideas, new thoughts and a new perspective. Add the new ideas and
correct the spelling. When redrafting ensure that the article
falls within the specified word limit. If it is too long,
rephrase the sentences or strike off the sentences that are not
very relevant.
Now the article is almost ready. Writing an article is one thing
but capturing the attention of your audience is quite a
different matter altogether. The first thing that captivates a
reader’s mind is without doubt the Title.
Write a Killer Title or a Catchy Title that will immediately
grab the attention of the reader. If you succeed in this, then
half your battle in capturing the attention of the reader is
over.
Next write an introduction that is concise, powerful and
illuminating. It should automatically create an urge and desire
on the part of the reader to continue reading the article.
Conclude the article with an effective and captivating paragraph
that will compel the reader to take the action that you have
preplanned for him e.g. reprinting your article on Home Based
Business or Internet Marketing, Tell a Friend or read your
Resource Box.
As mentioned initially, one of the main objectives of writing an
article is to get traffic to your website. Place a Resource Box
at the end of the article. This should contain a powerful and
captivating description of yourself, your website or your
product in third person and in no more than four or five lines.
Add your name and the URL of your website. This will be the
nerve center of your article as far as your objective is
concerned.
That is it, follow these simple steps and you will be on the way
to write and submit articles of quality that will create a
stampede to your website. Above all, you are now just a step
away from being an Expert in your field. Remember “The expert at
anything was once a beginner“.–Hayes
