Have you been looking for an article writing formula that will help you write an effective article? By effective I mean an article that not only teaches a valuable lesson, but also influences the reader to visit your website. After all, the purpose of publishing an article is to establish credibility in your field of interest so you will ?get the click? on the link in your resource box.

A powerful way to establish credibility is to identify a familiar problem and offer a viable solution. This article discusses an easy to learn problem solution article writing formula you can use to teach your reader an effective way to resolve a troublesome issue, and in effect, help yourself by helping others. The formula's problem solution structure is divided into three main sections ? the Introduction, the Body, and the Summary ? and the article has seven paragraphs.

The Introduction

First paragraph: Introduce the problem you are going to solve in your article.
Second paragraph: Introduce the solution to the problem, just the main idea.

Now structure your article by breaking up the big problem and big solution into three parts, and discuss each part in three separate paragraphs. Organize the three paragraphs from biggest to smallest, or most important to least important, or most expensive to least expensive, or most common to least common, or most popular to least popular, most difficult to least difficult, it's up to you.

The Body

Third paragraph: first part ? state the problem, then the solution.
Forth paragraph: second part ? state the problem, then the solution.
Fifth paragraph: third part ? state the problem, then the solution.

The Summary

Sixth paragraph: Summarize the value of your solution, the big picture.
Seventh paragraph: Conclusion ? a specific call to action.

For many writers, the introduction is the most difficult paragraph to write. That's usually because the writer has not created an outline, or an article structure template, to help him organize what he wants to say. Using the problem solution structure should speed up the creative process considerably. In this article the problem is identified as finding an easy way to write effective articles. And the solution is the use of a problem solution structure to help organize your thoughts. By using a problem solution structure the first sentence of the introduction, and the headline, is already written. All you have to do is transform the main problem into a question that peaks the reader's curiosity. In the second paragraph of your introduction, reveal your solution to the main problem, and let the reader know what solutions the three body paragraphs will discuss.

As for the article body, I'm sure you've read articles with paragraphs that did not seem to have any logical continuity leading from one idea to the next. When you divide the main problem into three separate sections, the ideas in your three body paragraphs will flow together logically. Choose the three most significant aspects of the main problem, and focus on identifying one solution at a time in each paragraph. If you do this you will become a solution finder, a problem solver, a handy expert to have around.

Quite often writers do not include a short summary of their article's main point because their article is not designed to be a persuasive argument with a central point of view to defend. In this article I identified three familiar problems that can be resolved using the problem solution structure: the introduction is difficult to write, the body paragraphs often do not flow logically from idea to idea, and a summary of the article's main idea is often omitted. Using the problem solution formula to quickly organize an article, all three of those common mistakes can be overcome, giving the writer credibility as an effective problem solver in any type of business.
