    I sometimes use PLR articles to come up with new ideas for articles and posts. I usually start rewriting it and add a bit of new information which eventually comes out as an entirely new article. Our blog post on how to write articles can give you more tips on writing articles for your site.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    Be resourceful. As a copywriter, I think I would suggest that you can look on other people's articles also and you can use them to gather information in writing your own article. Avoid copying the whole article. It is better you can rewrite it or add some related facts. In this way it will help you to write your own 100 articles.

    On the Internet “content is king”, and the real guts of content is the written word. If you are managing a website you need readable text for your onsite articles, for articles in your promotional newsletter or ezine and for promotional articles to be published on other sites or in other ezines. While these writing tasks can be outsourced to professionals, it is also possible for you to do it yourself if you follow a step-by-step process that is outlined in the following ten tips.

    1. In the first paragraph clearly state what the article is about. In standard journalism you would tell who, what, why, when and where an event is happening. In web articles you oftentimes state a problem, such as “how to get good written materials for your website”, and then explain how the article is going to solve the problem “by showing a simple step-by-step approach to writing”.

    2. Organize your material in a point-wise fashion. Before you begin writing think of the points that your article is going to cover. You may not necessarily show the points, as I am doing in this article (calling them ten tips), however, for your own outline of the article you should know what you are going to say before you begin writing. Write down these points and then make sure you include them as you begin the writing process.

    3. Put the reader at ease. You are not writing for a scientific or literary society, but to your peers on the Internet. Write in a simple style and if you introduce new terms, define them for your readers.

    4. Explain your points in short paragraphs. Short paragraphs are easier for the reader to follow. No one likes to look at a long block of solid text. Three, four or five sentences are usually enough for one paragraph.

    5. Don’t be afraid to spill all the beans! Tell your trade secrets! No, I am not crazy, the more you tell, the more the demand you will create for your goods and services. I once hesitated to write an article on “Tips for Writing Meta Tags” thinking, who will need my search engine optimization services if they read the article? I was wrong, the article was widely published and generated several orders for my services. If you give more information, people will understand that you really are an authority on the subject that you are speaking about.

    6. Give concrete examples and personal experiences to back up your points. Tell how you faced a problem and how you solved it. Or give hypothetical examples of the California Widget Company and how its website would, for example need a title tag of “Widgets: electronic widgets from the California Widget Company”

    7. Emphasize the benefits of your product or service. When it comes to selling, it is the benefits that sell, rather than the features. Sure, you are selling garden supplies, home décor, clothing, gifts and jewelry on your website. These are features. But the benefits are that people can get these items in one place without shopping around, that they can save time and money, etc. The gurus of Internet marketing, such as Ken Evoy all say that you should constantly mention the benefits that you offer to your potential customer.

    8. Give resource information to your readers. Give the addresses of websites where your readers can get more information on the subject that you are talking about. These may be your own websites or they can be other resources. In case you are worrying about losing customers, good outgoing links from your website are also helpful to your site’s page ranking and positioning in search engines.

    9. Get another opinion on your article. Show it to your friends and colleagues, and don’t worry if they criticize you, it is better that your friends find the mistakes than your clientele. Always remember, a good editor is a writer’s best friend

    10. Keep your most important information near the beginning of the article and summarize what you want to say at the end. Editors usually cut things near the end, so keep your most important points and ideas in the beginning of the article. At the very end of the article you can summarize what you set out to accomplish in your opening paragraph.

    You may not win a literary prize, but if you follow the steps that I have outlined above you will be able to produce effective written content for your website and for your promotional outreach via your own newsletters and through articles published on other websites. These articles could become the key to success in your Internet endeavors.

    I think it is best to get exact information first about the topic you are writing on. It is important that you have enough knowledge first on a particular topic before you write a content about it to make sure that it's really informative and useful to the readers.

    The most important part of any article is what you have to say and how you actually say it. That is - the appropriate article topic and right writing style. Other things to be considered while writing a article or a blog are – use the active voice in the blog, direct the reader, be specific, include some facts in the article to make it more interesting, include some examples for better explaining, and avoid grammar mistakes.

    I definitely agree with you! Outsourcing good be a good solution especially if you need to post good quality content for your readers consistently. When opting for this route, the writing firm should be very happy to provide you sample articles to test and evaluate its quality and service. This option is also ideal for webmasters or site owners who want quality content but do not have sufficient time to spend in writing...

    Be sure that you tap into emotions. Always write and make it feel like your having a private
    conversation with the audience that you are writing to!

    Let your thought flow and write your articles naturally. Don't force yourself to write a really good article. Nothing is perfect. Just get things done.
