Before writing an article, have you ever felt overwhelmed by a blank sensation, not knowing where to start?
There are common problems in writing articles and this checklist will help you eliminate them:
Make sure you have a specific purpose in mind.
Before you begin writing, you should first have a specific purpose in mind and you need to be crystal clear about what you want to accomplish by writing your article. Will this article of yours clarify an issue for your customers, to improve the link popularity for your website, and to attract prospects?
What is your target population?
Before writing an article, conduct research on the target population. What are their wants in the chosen topic, their experience, and their interests? What pain or problem do they try to avoid?
First, develop a detailed outline stressing the benefits.
Scanning it quickly will immediately show to your reader what are the benefits they will be getting as well as the most important points which is why once you have a purpose and a target, you need to organize your article.
Your title should stop the reader in his tracks.
Your title should achieve its goal and that's grabbing the reader's attention and forcing him to read your first paragraph. When you use your most important benefit, then this is a possibility.
Start your article with the most important information
Once again, avoid using your most important information for the conclusion. You need to provide it immediately and develop it in the following paragraphs.
Try to keep jargon to a minimum.
Avoid jargon as well as prejudices and insinuations if possible. When you write your article, make sure that a child can understand it as well.
Make your article warm and personal.
Try to speak directly to the reader. Use a lot of 'you'. The reader should feel warmth and empathy when they read your article because they know that you have the same problems and goals that they do.
Make sure your sentences are short and simple.
If your sentences are short and simple, then this will allow a fluid and easy reading and prevent your reader to get bored.
Perhaps someone from the target population can critique your article.
Someone from your target population will surely be qualified to give your better feedback. Because of this, you get to spend more time rewriting than writing.
While you need to format your article for easy reading and nice presentation, you also need to be sure you are using tools or an external editor to carefully proofread your writing for grammatical and spelling errors.
Remember that the more writing you do, the better you will get. After awhile, when you are in the habit of writing, writing articles will no longer seem so difficult.
