Regrain from using words that are key words in your industry, but not widely used elsewhere.

2 - What Is Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)

Think of new ways to make even your sales envelope catch the eye of your client.

Articles have to be well written in order for them to be read. Making a good article doesn’t have to be strenuous and difficult. There are however some tips to follow in order for you to succeed as an article writer .

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 it should also be short and concise.

When writing about dating as an example, consider titles like, “Tips on making her crave for you”, or “How to make her blush at the right moment”. You could also use titles that can command people, for example, “Make her yours in six easy Steps”. These type of titles are highly emotive and makes them feel important.

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, but refrain from over doing it. 
 
Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. The aim should be to make the reading experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.

By using specific facts and figures you elevate the importance of your article because it makes you an expert in your field. Do not try and make it excessively formal, as you might sound too technical and then loose your readers.

Articles will always be read if it makes sense and brings across at least one interesting point in a light and easy manner. As an article writer, see yourself as a friendly teacher that is having an interesting little chat with a willing and eager student.

The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles on other websites, hat are good to look at.

Paragraphs do not have to be long and can often consist of just a single sentence, or sometimes even a single word!


2) Use Sub-headings to divide your paragraphs on the page
Doing this will break each point into sections but still all 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.

In this manner, you will never lose your readers attention, or the point and direction to where the article is heading to.

3) 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. When each point is started with a bullet or number, readers will know that this is the beginning of a new idea. Make a point of formatting your bullets and numbers with indentations so that your articles won’t look like a single block of square paragraphs.

Add a little bit of flair to the shape of your articles, and people will come back to your site. Repeat visitors eventually become customers, especially if they see that your articles are consistent in format and quality.
