    Hello All,

    Here are some tips i think they are useful to take care when you want to write an article :

    1 - Determine your topic

    2 - Figure out who your audience is

    3 - Do your research

    4 - Decide on the length of the article

    5 - Write either an outline or a summary of your article

    Kinda looks light on tips and heavy on same old same old.

    The most important thing a person can do if they want their articles to be found and read is take the time to do keyword research on the Topic then craft a keyword rich and user compelling Title for the Article.

    Yeah rich keyword content would help you succeed in article writing. The only challenge here is how to fit it well in the article in a way that it will still look natural and sensible.

    I think everyone's forgetting the ACTUAL POINT of writing articles. It's to get people to visit your links in the signature, right?

    Write content that is good enough that you get them intrigued to read what else you have on your site.

    The other best tip is to answer a question just enough so that you don't give out the full answer that way they have to visit your site to get the rest of the answer

    Keep them wanting more.

    Wow, tameem, I hope you didn't tire yourself out writing out that extensive post.

    Why these threads are not locked, I'll never know.

    Before starting to write you must have full control over grammar.
    You must be good in research to write accurate information related to topic

    Honestly, I hire experts for this. It's another job I don't master. I mean you can't do all jobs. YOu focus on sales, marketing but play the PR, i can't do it. Now, some guys offer article writing from $10 to 30. They are devoted to that science.

    First thing before writing an article is learning on the topics and take notes for the key points.

    Something else I've been trying to do lately...make your point in a unique (or even controversial) way. Stand out from the crowd.
