Your 7 Step Guide For Cranking Out Awesome Articles
-- Michael Hall
First choose an idea or topic to write about, keep your reader in
mind
and remember to use appropriate vocabulary. Also choose a mood for
your article - serious, humorous, step-by step, etc. You want to
really
find an excellent and catchy title because if your title is not
interesting
no one will read your article.
Second, use a number guide(like the one below) to make sure your
lines do not exceed 60 characters per line ...
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
... this will also allow you to avoid awkward sentence breaks,
like this one,
from being inserted into your article by your reader's email viewing
program.
Third, think of your article in bite sized chunks - one paragraph at
a time,
and create an outline of your article by making a list of the 5 or 6
main
points you would like to cover in your article. Here's my outline for
this
article that your reading right now:
Title: 7 Tips To Help You Crank Out Awesome Articles In Just Minutes
-- Michael Hall
mood: step-by-step, witty
Par 1 - Choosing a topic and title
- importance of your title
- mood and vocabulary
Par 2 - Formatting tips
- number guide
- explain email reader sentence breaks
Par 3 - Writing mindset
- think about paragraph topics
- create an outline and add sub topics
Par 4 - Write your article
- just write and don't edit
Par 5 - Proofread
- Read over your article
- Take a break and re-read
Par 6 - Final review and editting
Par 7 - Add your resource box
Fourth, If you haven't already go back and jot down some sub-points
you
would like to cover about each of your main points, then following
the
sub-points you created, write one paragraph about each main point
while
including your sub points. Stick closely to the outline youv'e
created and
avoid adding uneccesary or off-topic content. Your main goal is to
type or
write out your entire article in one sitting ... just keep typing or
writing and
don't stop to edit, just get it into your computer or onto your
notepad.
Fifth, Now that your whole article is out of your head you can review
it.
(I know you hate it, we all do), but you simply must proofread your
first
draft, and cut out and rewrite parts of it that seem weak or
awkwardly
written. Finally use a spell checker to look for spelling and
possible
grammatical errors.(spelling and grammar errors will also ruin your
credibilty and disrupt the reading process by confusing your reader)
Sixth, put your article down for a few hours(go watch TV or grab a
bite)
or even a day then re-read it and fix any newly found trouble spots.
Pay
special attention to your title and ask yourself(after each sentence)
does
this sentence support my title? If not re-write or delete that part
of your
article. You'll know your article is ready when it delivers what your
title
promised and does not leave your reader wanting more.
Seventh, now just add a four to six line resource box. This is where
you
tell your reader a little about yourself and direct them to a related
product
or resource. Be sure to include a website address, email address or
telephone and a call to action - like 'subscribe now' or 'call now'.
Now
pat yourself on the shoulder, grab your favorite drink and go spread
the
word about your wonderful article. Just use a search engine and do a
search for 'article directory' and 'article announcement list'.
