[H1227]How To Grab Attention
by Manjinderjit Singh, Man
Articles are supposed to be read, that's their purpose to impart your message and information. If it is not read then it is a waste of time and effort.
But all the same, articles have to be written to be read. It's just a matter of making them good. Making a good article doesn't have to be strenuous and straining. There are just some points needed to be reminded of, and some guides to follow. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles could be fun, as well as profitable for you and your site.

Of course, writing articles must be about something you know about, that's why if you own a site, you probably is knowledgeable about that certain topic and theme. When you write about it, you won't have a hard time because you already know what it is and what it's about. It's just a matter of making your articles creative and interesting.

To make sure that your articles get read and enjoyed, here are six red hot tips to get your articles read. These tips will make your articles readable and interesting.

1) Use short paragraphs. When the paragraph are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader just looking at it It can get quite confusing and too much of a hard work to read. The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles that are good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!

2) Make use of numbers or bullets. As each point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to remember and digest. As each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet or point, readers will know that this is where the tips start and getting stressed. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your4 article won't look like a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and pizzazz to your articles shape.

3) Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs in the page. Doing this will break each point into sections but still would be incorporated into one whole article. It would also be easy for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition would be smooth and easy. You will never lose your readers attention as well as the point and direction to where the article is pointing.

4) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title can entice a person's curiosity you're already halfway in getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content but should also be short and concise.

Use titles like, tips on making her want you more, or How to make her swoon and blush.You could also use titles that can command people, for example, Make her yours in six easy Ways. These types of titles reach out to a person's emotions and makes them interested.

5) Keep them interested from the start to the finish. From your opening paragraph, use real life situations that can be adopted by the reader. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive in your point, just don't over do it. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. Making the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.

6) Utilize figures when necessary and not just ordinary and insipid statements. Using specific facts and figures can heighten your article because it makes it authoritative. But do not make it too formal, it should be light and easy in them and flow. Like a friendly teac her having a little chat with an eager student.

Do you have a website that hosts video? Or is it that you want to host your own videos and generate traffic so that you can earn through advertisements or pay-per-click. Whichever is your business format – if you are into video hosting or uploading videos for business then in order to generate traffic and sustain a constant flow, you must ensure that your videos grab attention and make people come back for more.

Not just for pure video hosting sites, you can use videos to promote your product, your website, your online tutorial, your resume – almost everything can be given that special touch if it is presented through videos – ‘lights, camera, action!'. You may be planning to sell a beautiful antique through ebay – what better way to bring the prospective buyer as close as possible to the piece than by sharing a video of it with them. But the key to effectively use videos to promote your online business is to shoot videos that grab the user's attention, can be streamed easily for users across the world and does not take ‘forever' to download.

Here are some tips to make videos interesting and ensure that they grab the attention of your target audience:

Frame your video shots well. Look around and take a stock of your surroundings – how is the background? Does the background suit the mood well? Keep it clean and professional. Avoid cluttered and busy frames – always remember that people choose the online medium because they do not have time to spare. So give them what they want.

Do you have enough light around your subject? How are the shadows forming? Are the shadows of surrounding objects covering up your subject? Few simple questions, if taken care of can produce high-quality videos. Utilize home-made paper or transparent paper around the light slow to give a soft glow to the video if you want.

Check yourself or your subject whichever is on the video before shooting. You wouldn't want a stray strand of hair poking out of the frame or a speck of dust on your precious antique artifact.

Keep your video interesting – you are in command of a medium where you can engage the user by both sound and visual, so utilize these to the fullest – avoid monotonous narration. Keep it simple but remember adding some special effects often grab viewer's attention.

Once you have the video with you and you want to promote it, you can follow the usual online marketing strategies employed to promote and advertise websites, blogs and products. However to promote videos, remember you must use keywords effectively in the description of your video so that it pops up in search engine lists when searched at the top. Take time to compose the content with keywords but avoid making the keywords appear too closely. If the keywords are spaced well, chances are search engines will spider the description and place it higher in the search list.
