Hi. Yes... to follow an article template like the one above makes writing easy and fast. And this thread would make a good list of resource for article writers if more people add on to it. Here are two basic article type templates that I use: #1 Basic Article Template: Article Topic Title Introduction - introduce your topic Body - 2 or 3 short paragraphs that support your introduction topic Conclusion - summarize your intro and supportive statements Optional - article writer resource info or call to action #2 List Type Article Template: Article Topic Title Introduction - Intro your topic and what the reader will learn List1 or (Tip1 or Step1) - List your first step or tip with short intro or benefit List2 - see list 1 List3 - see list 1 List4 - see list 1 List5 - see list 1 List 6-10 or more Conclusion - summarize overall intro and general benefits or importance of topic Optional - article writer resource info or call to action
I actually find it a lot easier to write both the introduction and the title at the end after the rest of the article is done.
yes it could be a useful for some articles, i think this way you can resume the article with the appropriate title.
Hm, in your view - 150 words are one paragraph ... for 95% of people on internet it is full article There are plenty of studies proving people absolutly don't read long articles. Internet is not a book and the writer can be happy if reader spends 20 seconds with his article - The rule one of writing - write it short - The rule two - If you think it is short, make it more shorter Even the most capable writers often fail because they do not want to delete their job and all the brilliant and funny ideas
I don't think 150 words is enough to explain an idea or give a helpful informations also if the readers found that the content is great, they will spend more time on it and comeback for more.
It's not about the amount of words. It's about what is relayed to the reader in the words that were written. A person will read a lengthy article if the article is written to keep the reader engaged / interested. Formatting plays a major role as well. If you fail to hook the reader in your opening paragraph, it doesn't matter how many words are written from that point forward.
Length of the article depends on what you are writing. You cannot fix word count because someone is saying it. Information must prosper to engage the readers. What's key? Writing revealing introduction para and then following that with useful information for targeted audience. Thanks.
I agree with this, the more the content is original and attractive the more readers keep reading and coming for more no matter how the words count.
This is a good point too, there is some topics or informations that's need more content to be explained correctly.
There's one little thing I want to add. I am forever reminded of the need to do this: have my work proofread. I have not at this time settled on an outside proofreader so this is what I do. I leave the article for at least 10 minutes, then come back to it. A period even as short as that enables me to view things with fresh eyes. That way, I more readily catch mistakes. Leaving it overnight is better. Going over it and over it and over it, then just sending it out means I mail out out embarrassing mis-spellings and the like.
