Let's talk about how to easily write articles that can bring



tons visitors to your website, thus more profits.

I know you've thought about it, and probably said, "Nah, I

am not a writer". Well, there's a writer in all of us, and

writing articles to gain expert status as well as targeted

traffic is so important.

You have to write articles that will engage your reader and

hold their attention all the way through, as opposed to the

usual clicking and fleeing.

Have you ever clicked and fled? If yes, then you know how

it feels like being the reader.

This is what happens when your eyes are weary of the

internet information overload. You click on an article that

is so copy- heavy; it makes your brain groan from the pain

of reading all that information.

You do not want this to happen to someone who is reading

your stuff, do you?

So do not bombard your readers with words. Granted that you

know every single word in the dictionary. But that is not a

reason to try and put all that in one material.

Here are five tips to help you create articles that are

super-tight and can beckon thousands of visitors that you

are the one being bombarded.

1. Keep it short.

The article websites say to keep your articles under 800

words, but it is really difficult to control yourself when

an article concept is blowing around in your head and

wanting release. If it is any consolation, 500-1,000 words

is okay. Just remember that if you start rambling, your

reader would not stay with you very long.

So keep it short and straight to the point.

2. Pace and balance.

Some people who write short articles start with a slow and

intriguing buildup, but then cut the reader off at the end.

This may keep the number of words down, but the sudden

anti-climactic ending makes for lousy reading.

Do not leave your reader high and dry. Write a quick

summary of each paragraph, then develop each one with three

or four supporting sentences. Close with a motivating call

to action.

3. Break it up.

An article that is broken up into sections is so much

easier on the eyes than one with long paragraphs of copy.

For this reason, the How-To, "7 Tips" and Q&A are immensely

popular. Use sub headlines in bold type to help guide their

eyes down the page.

If you can offer your content-hungry article prospects some

great, well-paced copy that will look fantastic on their

specialty niche website, you can be sure your articles will

get great exposure and readership.

4. Focus on the customer.

Of course, your article content will come from your own

experiences. But instead of saying, "I know this guy who"

and "When I designed my website," you can project your

story onto the customer.

It helps to address the reader and ask questions: "Ever

find yourself buried under piles of paperwork??. Writing is

all about the reader. Keep that in mind always.

5. Include a call to action.

If you word your articles in just the right way, you can

really inspire your key customer to take action without

making them feel pressured.

Tap their wants and needs, offer solutions, and then spur

them on to make a change for the better. Of course, the

solution is to get in touch with you. Do this subtly in

your article, and then do it again with a bit more volume

in your conclusion and bio.

"Visit us today to find out how great copywriting can make

a world of difference for your business!" is a classic

example. Easy, is it not?

In general, it helps to visualize the article reaching its

final destination.

If your article is about cooking, then imagine it on

someone else's cooking website.

Now imagine the reader, taking in your story. What would

they want to read about? How can the visual presentation

keep them riveted on your words, so they can make it to the

end where your bio and URL link is? How can you get them to

click that link?

If you do get wrapped up in the joyous act of article

writing, then there is nothing wrong with that.

Just remember to keep your eye on the prize and the purpose

why you are writing these articles in the first place. Your

prospects.
