No matter what your article is about, as a writer you must captivate the reader. Remember, you are promoting articles to elevate your website and get one-way back links. With a poorly written article you'll get back links from the article directories you submit to, but you'll miss out on the key benefit to writing articles. The key motivation is to get publishers and webmasters to use your content; not just to get your article listed in the directories. You want your articles to proliferate. Only then, will your embedded links get maximum exposure.

The Style - The number of web masters that will use your content is affected by your writing style. Let's look at this from two perspectives - do's and don'ts. Your writing style should be conversational; try to talk directly to the reader. Vary your sentence structure. Occasional rhythmic pauses give an opportunity to reflect. Write concisely and use common words. Be creative. On the flip side, always proofread. Spelling and grammatical errors turn people off. Better yet, have someone else proofread for you. To raise your writing skills, read more. As you read, focus on the writer's style. Learn from good authors.

The Hook - Your title will determine if your article is successful or not. Think about it. For a book, the first thing a possible buyer sees is the title. People commonly judge the whole book from its title. The same is true for online articles. To turn a casual search engine browser into an engaged article reader, you must first entice them with your title. Otherwise, they will never get to the first paragraph. To write better titles, spend some time reading. Browse your favorite article directory site and look at titles used by others. Learn and adapt. Be creative and use something catchy. Always include targeted keywords that relate to your website.

The Angle - Start with a topic you are passionate about that relates to your website. Your intensity for the topic will show through in the content. Develop an idea around the topic, but with a different spin. Lead off with this angle. Intrigue the reader. Once you have his/her attention, expand on your angle. Explain how your angle benefits the reader or solves a problem they face. Loosely speaking, this is your value proposition. Accentuate how your article is different than other articles on the topic. This entices people to read the second paragraph. Use the remainder of the article to expand your key milestones.

The Close - Your final paragraph should underscore what the reader should do after reading your article. This paragraph should summarize your article and build a bridge to the resource box. The resource box is usually the only place you can place a link to your web site. You need to entice the reader to follow that link. You can do this by stressing your experience on the subject matter, providing the opportunity for more news or both. To learn how to do this effectively, review other articles by other authors and adapt a style that appeals to you.

Your articles should entertain people - providing helpful news and meeting their needs. To be truly compelling, your articles should be well written with correct spelling and good grammar. Titles must be catchy and content unique. Find an angle and elaborate. Use target keywords sparingly - appealing to human readers not search engine spiders. If you focus on spiders, your articles will be boring and end up buried in the article directories. Focus on writing compelling articles and your content will proliferate exponentially.
