Article Writing – Step by Step Guide to Writing an Article

Article writing and submission is one of the easiest ways to drive qualified traffic to your web site, but it is one of the hardest things to actually sit down and do everyday. I know, because article writing is one of the most profitable things I do, and yet, I find it hard to write more than about 20-40 articles per week. After that level, I just really have to buckle down and remind myself how much money I make when I write articles.

So how do I do it? How do I write my articles?

Follow these steps:

1) Find a niche topic about which to write. If you already have a niche web site, write on related topics. One thing that is important is writing articles that pertain to the needs and desires of people who buy from you, not just the people who read your web site. You should be targeting your buyers, specifically, and drawing new buyers to your website.

2) Write a title that is keyword optimized and accurately reflects the content of the article. Use your keyword first in the article, then tell the reader what they are going to learn in your article.

3) Write 3 main points to your article. 3 steps to getting something done, 3 interesting facts, 3 ways to do something.

4) Write an intro paragraph which summarizes what you teach in the 3 points.

5) Write a close/bio that tells the reader how they can get more information about your topic.
