How to write an article for your marketing purposes
Filed Under article, content, writing | Leave a Comment
The prevailing mentality for beginning content producers is that it is hard writing articles.
Some don’t know where to start.Others think that there isn’t enough content to write about. They believe that at some point, you’ll run out of ideas or that you completely exhaust a topic. Rarely does that happen. Ironically, even if that were true, the benefits of article marketing completely outweigh this fear.
Article marketing helps in spreading the word about your market/company and can also provide some traffic to your site. As people read the article, those who want more information will visit to your site.
The same people who complain about running out of ideas are the same ones who don’t have a process. When you follow a system, you reduce your writing time and you also don’t hurt your brain as much. The folks who don’t know how to start can use this method also. Here’s my process.
Create a basic outline:
1. Introduction for article
2. Supporting Main Point A
3. Supporting Main Point B
4. Supporting Main Point C
5. Conclusion for article
When you consider it from this angle, suddenly things don’t seem so complicated.
Let’s consider the length of each section. If you simply write 60-70 words for each section, then you’ll quickly reach a article length with some substance. With each section at 60-70 words, you’ll reach a total article length of 300-350 words. Simply increasing each section to 100 words you’ll have a 500 word article in no time.
Yes, this is the same outline that your 3rd grade teacher taught you. I didn’t say it was new, I said it was the one I used.
It’s simple once you are reminded of it.
