Get Your Articles Read

Link: http://www.lotcon.biz/linkto/ArticleMarketing

There are many people who dread having to write articles. Many just feel like it seems to be too much work and it all just goes to waste when no one reads them. Well, articles are supposed to be read and Google read them! Therefore it is never a waste of time and effort.

But all the same, articles have to be written to be read for an audience. It’s just a matter of making them good. Making a good article doesn’t have to be strenuous and straining. There are just some points to be reminded of, and some guides to follow.

Some Hot Tips:

1) Use short paragraphs. When the paragraph are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader, becomes confusing and it is too much of a hard work to read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!

2) Make use of numbers or bullets. Each point can quickly be read and is easy to digest. Format your bullets and numbers with indentations so that your article won’t look like a single block of square paragraphs. It adds a little bit of flair to your articles shape.

3) Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs. Doing this will break each point into sections. It makes it easy for the reader to move from one point to another; transition would be smooth and easy. You will never lose your readers attention as well as the point and direction to where the article is pointing.

4) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title can entice a person’s curiosity you’re already halfway in getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content.Titles should also be short and concise.

5) Keep readers interested from the start to the finish. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive in your point, just doesn’t over do it. Make the reading pleasurable and enjoyable for them.

Publishing articles (if course with your name and website links)will help to build traffic over time. It is a powerful tool you should not ignore.

White space (short paragraphs) keep people reading even when you do have a long article. This keeps people moving as long as you are interesting.

Article marketing can be a pain sometimes. Sitting there trying to think of a subject has gotten us all at one time or another. You make some good points especially about keeping the readers attention. I know Doug's ebook can give some helpful advice to us all.

Thanks for the nod to my e-book, Fred! Article marketing is the best free promotional tool available, and the number of directories flourishing around the Internet shows the power of articles.

Most people coming online are looking for information, and the search engines know that articles provide that best, so they rank well, getting high visibility for your links back to your sites, blogs and affiliate links.

While it can be tough at first sitting down and actually writing an article, before long it becomes an easy habit, and marketers find they can dash off another keyword-laden article anytime they have a few minutes to spare.

Fred, 5 great tips.

I totally agree with all of them. I am a firm advocate of using short paragraphs. I know in my own reading I do not like to get bogged down in a long paragraph.

Short paragraphs just keep the ease of reading and the flow going better. The just make for better reading and attention keeping.

Fred, good solid points.

I am guilty of overlong sentences. I find it a good idea to cut them down to size as well. One thought at a time.

Sentences are the new paragraphs online. Focus on saying things in as few words as possible.

Great advice!

You have to make the article easy for the reader. Many times they will just skim it to see if it interests them, and bullet points are a great way to draw attention to your main points.

You want the viewer to easily read it so that they will be more likely to click on your link and visit your site.

Funny how the word "article" seems to absolutely scare so many people. I often mention that it is no different to the old essay or composition that we had to write at school. They probably call them assignments these days.

Either way, it's just a word so find one that perhaps doesn't scare you as much..
