If you have written any article and submitted then you know for the fact that some articles gets unwarranted attention, whereas some articles fades away in piles of articles. Saying it as "unwarranted Attention" might be a bit stretch, but its frustrated as a writer to have written a good article and not get decent attention.

I found these Pro articles have some common elements and duplicated their success.

That's why In this article I'll show you exactly what you need to do to get that "unwarranted attention" in 30 minutes or less.

# Step 1 : Decide on the outcome First.

Quick, Open up your browser and check any article directory (say ezinearticles.com). Notice what kind of articles people have submitted. All of them are good articles (grammar, content etc). But they lack one important thing. Most often Author lacks focus. Either the article talks about 10 different things or its get boring after a while.

That's why when I told you to Decide why you are writing. Is your purpose is limited to getting back links?

Decide out come on 2 points

# 1. Decide Why You are Writing?

# 2. Decide What you are going to talk about in article?

What this does, is help you focus on writing an article that will not only get results but also be completely focused on the topic and not bore the visitor.

# Step 2 : Write your headline

A good headline is always a great starting point for your article. If you have decided on the outcome of the article, your headline will come naturally to you. If you just go through any section of the article directories. You'll see what I mean. Boring Headlines.

# Step 3 : How to begin writing an article.

It all begins - and often ends - with the title of your article. Pick the right headline and your article practically writes itself. See the headline for this article, as an example. Once I arrived at it, the content was pretty logical - what are the stumbling blocks about article writing, and how to jump over them.

# Step 4 : Are You Boring Your Reader to death?

I've noticed how important is this detail. But if you are following me till this step. Just have a big heart and submit your article.

You see, by picking the right focused topic, doing your research and drawing your reader in with a bold, promising, powerful headline, you've finished the most difficult part of your task. Until you mess it up badly, in most cases your reader will stick on to the end.

These are the differences between a pro and a wannabe.

So, what do you think? Is article writing like pro's is difficult - or easy? Like I said in the beginning, without the 'secret formula' it can be a painful, time-consuming chore.

But with the right approach and constant practice, overcoming the 4 major hurdles we just discussed, soon you too will crank out articles like this one as quickly as I did (by the way, writing this one took me all of TEN minutes! No kidding). And to further refine and hone your technique, you can refer to more advanced tutorials about article writing.
