Writing and publishing articles online is a wonderful way to market you and your business. It's a fast, easy, and cost-effective strategy to showcase your expertise while, at the same time, offering great value to your readers.
You've picked a topic and done the research. So, now what? The next step, simple as it is, is probably one of the most important. Human beings like structure. With that being said, find some way to organize your information into a structure people will find not only easy to understand, but also easy to
read and remember.
My favorite way to organize an article is by breaking down the material into 3, 5, 7, or 10 key points. Pick whatever number of points you want to make, but studies have shown that people are more attracted to odd numbers - with the exception of the number 10!
Communicating your ideas in 5, 7 or 10 points is an attractive way to package your material. It makes it much easier to read than regular paragraphs of text. Most people like to skim articles. Make it easy for them to do that, otherwise they'll ignore what you've written. When assembling your points, write a short, captivating introductory sentence (mini-subtitle), followed by a short paragraph illustrating your point. You can even number your points if you choose.
Use short, succinct sub-headlines to capture attention. When a reader is hurried, he or she will probably read the headlines for each paragraph. Make sure they are descriptive and interesting enough to draw the reader in, or at least, to compel them to return later to finish reading your article.
The more organized your article, the more attractive it will be to your readers. These are just a few helpful hints to help you make the most of writing and publishing articles online.
