How to write good articles |
Article Writing is more than just the ability to write
without making bad grammatical errors or misspelling a lot of words. Our Article
Writers are trained to write interesting and informative articles that are
optimized for your keywords and phrases without making it obvious to the reader.
Our Article Writers know how to engage the reader so they read the entire
article.
If you are writing articles to promote your home based business, there is
a technique you will be glad to learn about.
It's called word stemming. The 'stem' is
typically the first part of a word. The usual 'stemming' approach is where you
add different endings to a word stem (such as sell) to get new words like
selling, sellable and seller.
You can also add to the front end of the stem to produce words such as reseller,
up sell and pre-sell. These prefixes change the meaning of the word but the
whole family of words are related, as you can see.
Of particular interest to me was a technique I read
about in Dylan Loh's Secret Article Profits. Using this method, you can quickly
find a large selection of related keywords.
THIS IS BETTER THAN CONVENTIONAL WORD STEMMING
1. This is not the conventional stemming approach where you
add different endings to a word stem.
2. And it's not the other popular approach of adding words
before or afterwards such as power seller, selling online, eBay selling and how
to sell.
USE THE WORDS OF A NATURAL CONVERSATION
The keywords-multiplying technique I am referring to uses a freely available
tool to deliver NATURAL keywords in addition to what you'll get from the above
two techniques. As such it helps you generate the sort of vocabulary (and
therefore keywords!) that people use in normal informed writing about the topic.
That is precisely what the search engines want ... natural
speech, normal word patterns.
Article Content Source #1: Old Ezine Articles
This includes your archives for articles that you sent
your ezine from the past 10+ years. If you've created multiple articles for each
email newsletter issue, I recommend that you break your old ezine articles into
single article chunks rather than multi-topic articles. If you have large ezine
articles from your email newsletter archive, consider breaking them down into
250-500 word chunks rather than 1,000-3,000 word articles.
Article Content Source #2: Old Original Forum Posts
If you've been on the Internet for some time, there is
a good chance you belong to a few forums that you might call yourself a
"resident expert" on. All of your old forum posts that are greater than 250
words in length will make great new articles that you can put into distribution
to create more traffic and sales for your business, if not to enhance your
credibility alone.
Article Content Source #3: Old Blog Posts
The whole point of blogging, besides posting
frequently, is that you can easily syndicate your blog for others to read via
the RSS reader of their choice. Because of the syndication orientation of
blogging, your blog posts that are greater than 250 words make great articles
that you can slap on a longer title, add a resource box that pitches your blog
website and put a fast 250-100+ articles into immediate distribution.
Article Content Source #4: Out of Date Books
Are you an author that has a book that is no longer in
print? If you own the copyrights to it, this is an excellent place to create
hundreds of quality articles with just a few days or a week of editing.
Article Content Source #5: Your Current e-Books
Grab 10%-20% of your hottest selling ebook and flip it
into articles designed to introduce your reader into wanting the whole
ebook
from you. You still need to deliver real
content value here and not get skimpy or tease them with ‘what they could learn
if they bought your ebook.' Just keep the articles short, with bullets or small
numbered lists.
Article Content Source #6: Top 10 or Top 7 Articles
Everyone likes content they can read very fast. Why
not create top 10 lists (or any number of "Top" things) related to your niche or
area of expertise. To begin, just create a headline such as "Top 7 Leaders
Strategies For Newbie Managers" and then number the list from 1-7. Come up with
a sub-headline for each tip and then do (1) paragraph describing the tip. You'll
find these are easy to produce and crank out 5-10 of them per day.
Article Content Source #7: Keyword Research
Using Google or any keyword research tool,
you can enter in keyword relating to your niche and discover topics that people
are currently searching for that are related to your expertise. Use this as a
springboard to launch another 25 articles that are 250-450 words each related to
answering or providing short tips on how to solve or get more out of the
keywords they searched for. Example: "Yoga" when entered into Google Suggest
tells me that I should write articles about "Yoga Journals or Journaling" and
about proper form or different types of "Yoga Poses."
