This is a super simple way to write an article, even if you are not a very good writer. You simply create a "Top 10" list, then add an introduction, elaborate a bit on each point and wrap it all up with a conclusion. Here are some title ideas to spark your imagination. "Top 10 Reasons To .....Now." "Top 10 Mistakes ......Make.....When......" "Top 10 Reasons To ....." Here are some examples "Top 10 Warning Health Signs That Your Doctor Should Tell You About." "Top 10 Internet Marketing Websites." So there you have it. Start writing articles to promote your site and build your brand.
Actually, those are terrible article titles. If you want to make a "top 10" list you should always put your keywords first and the 'top 10' last. The first 2-3 words of the title will account for the majority of the success that your article will have. For example, If I were writing an article about health and fitness. I would make my title "Get Great Abs - Top Ten Abs Workouts" instead of "Top Ten Abs Workouts - Get Great Abs". My keywords at the beginning are more likely to get picked up than lingering 5 words down the line.
In order to write a decent Top 10 List, you actually need to know 10 points, and you must explain EACH one of them well.
This is a good idea. I find that these types of article e.g. 5 Tips, 6 Great Tips etc. also have a high click open rate.
Yea, I remember reading before that "Top ___ Lists" are very popular for article marketing---especially if you add a bit of humor to your list.
Top Ten lists are great, but if you want to prove you know your niche and your product well, you should be able to write something beyond ten hints about it. The list is a great way to introduce yourself to your niche, but eventually you'll want something with more substance.
I already write a 4-part blog series on this entitled Writing Solutions For Netrepreneurs...check it out
You probably mean AIDA - Attention, Interest, Desire, Action. It's a model used by marketers to generate sales.
I cant even tell you how DEAD ON this post is. This guy has it figured out. I would click on "Get Great Abs - Top Ten Abs Workouts" but scroll right past "Top Ten Abs Workouts - Get Great Abs". The first words are the attention grabbers - they are the words that drive your traffic.
If someone is not a good writer they should not even attempt to write an article. Instead they should either: a) pay someone else to do so b) focus on other skills such as coding, web design, graphic design etc c) if none of these skills, then look for a job in the real world.
I think if you're not a good writer, why not try to improve first your writing skills. If you are determined to learn how to create a quality and interesting article, there's nothing wrong with trying or attempting.
That won't be applied for each and every niche, If you want to promote some products or news, you can not apply this theory.
Readers got tired of this style. Maybe one or two articles with this kind of title won't harm but blogs where any title starts with TOP xxx ways for ... are disturbing. Maybe I am wrong but I don't expect much from anything titled like this.
Top 5 is definately more attractive for users who don't have alot of time rather than top 10, you will appear to a wider audience
I found Magazines are best source for article writing. I don't rip from them. But I get nice ideas to write good content for my niche from them. They rock
