    Hey cheece,

    For web article writing, you should first think of a topic that people would want to read, do some research and make your written articles reader-friendly.

    Write it in a language that people will have a better understanding.

    Make a research about the new and latest news and be the one to write about it.

    The quality content is depend on your knowledge. If you know very well on the topic, then only you can write a quality content. Quality content not mean that you re-write the article with perfect english without any mistake but the information itself

    Think about why you write the article in the first place. Basically for 2 reasons.

    1. To get backlinks to your site (if you have one)
    2. To get people to click on the links in your Bio section.

    When people read articles, it is because they are looking for something. You have an advantage because you know basically what they are looking for. You know this because you wrote the article based on keywords that you have researched. Right?

    So now what you need to do is to instantly get their attention using the Title and first paragraph. When you write be sure to stay on topic, keep the paragraphs short so they can be easily scanned, and pretend you know what you are writing about.

    In some cases I will do the above but won't provide the exact answer they are looking for. I will write all around it, and then use the Bio box to tell them to go here to find the "real answer". This is hard to explain, but basically what I am doing is just teasing them and then telling them at the end that I have exactly what they are looking for. This doesn't work for all subjects. A short article of 250 - 300 words is perfect for this.:)

    Other times I write much longer articles, especially if I am writing a technical article. I give all kinds of good and accurate info. These tend to be picked up by other websites (which is exactly what you want) giving me even more exposure.

    Hope this helps,
    Zeek

    Do keyword research to find out what topics people are searching for in search engines, then write your articles around those keywords so that once submitted, they come up in the search results.

    Also, make sure that your spelling and grammar are perfect. If you're not a native English speaker (assuming you're marketing to an English-speaking audience), you may want to consider outsourcing or hiring someone to write the articles for you. People will overlook one or two mistakes, but if they see several obvious spelling and grammar mistakes throughout the article, it can hurt your credibility.

    Cheece, I'm a professional article marketer who's written dozens of articles. In my opinion, you should focus on five things:

    1. Have a great title

    2. Write about things you know

    3. Keep it interesting

    4. Write often

    5. Always use spell-check

    Try to imagine yourself as the buyer. If you were looking for leather boots it is most likely you would not be interested in reading about the history of leather boots you would probably want to go straight to the site or read a review, which you can do in an article just try and think 'if I was a buyer why would I want this product?'.
