Article Writing -Tips to Get You Started
There are many different opinions as to what makes a good article, and just
as many ideas on the best ways to write one. Most experienced article authors
have their own tried and tested methods, developed over time and numerous writings
whilst novice authors are just beginning to learn the ropes and finding their
own ways of doing things.
Whatever the views of the writer however, it’s ultimately the readers that will give the thumbs up - or down. To make writing an article worthwhile and to hold a reader’s interest, there are some basic rules that newer authors should take into consideration when writing.
Accuracy
If you want to build credibility and trust amongst your target audience, it’s vitally important that the information in your article is as accurate as you can make it; so the general rule of thumb is, if you’re not sure about it – don’t write it until you’ve checked it out; there is absolutely nothing to be gained by writing something that is totally untrue. However, as situations and circumstances change, some of the original information contained in your article may become outdated or irrelevant after the article has been published; this can and does happen occasionally and is obviously out of a writer’s control.
Interesting and Informative
Articles can be as long or as short as the writer wants to make them and written on just about any subject under the sun. The Internet is full of content-hungry website owners and businesses looking for interesting and informative articles to pass on to their readers.
A good thing to remember is to avoid ‘padding out’ your article with insignificant or irrelevant details. Remember, the people reading your article are reading it because you have written about a subject they are interested in. Most of them will have specifically searched for an article like yours so the last thing you want to do is send them to sleep whilst they’re reading it.
Use facts and figures sparingly; too many and your article will seem more like a report than an informative read. Unless quoting facts and figures is the aim of your article – keep it light. The occasional use of anecdotes as a means of explanation or clarification will often bring a sense of fun to an article if used in the right places and if the subject matter allows. However, bear in mind that what is amusing to you as the writer may not be funny to the reader. Not everyone can write humorous stories successfully, and sometimes the point being made is lost because of that.
Readability
After you have finished your article and before submitting it online, there is one more important thing to left do. To ensure your article is enjoyed by readers and shows you in a competent light, it would be wise to get it proofread. By all means use a spellchecker but don’t forget to go over it again to ensure that the right version of a word has been used, for example; ‘their’ and ‘there’ or ‘here’ and ‘hear’.
A spellchecker won’t pick up on a wrong word if that word has been spelt correctly. When you’ve finished your spelling and grammar checks and you are happy with the final draft, it is usually a good idea to get a friend or colleague to look it over and see what they think. They will be your article’s first reader and as such their opinions will be important. If you’re happy after that, submit the article to your chosen site and start thinking about your next one.
