By: Andrew Heuw



It's not something new that writing article can bring
considerable amounts of traffic to your web site thus give you
more profits. 

Today all net has been flooded with articles, which purpose to
capture instant traffic for their owners. Millions of articles
writing and publishing everyday. 

The competition has become a fierce battle and it's getting
tougher everyday to drive a great deal of traffic to our site.

With that being said you have to do something to stand out from
this crowded place, and make sure that your article gets noticed
in front of your potential customers one step ahead from your
competitors.

Here're 7 surefire tips you can do to give your article more
superiority...

 1) Eye-Catching Headline

 No matter how good your article, if people not see
'invite-to-read' headline, they won't bother even for just take
a glance on the body of your article.

Here're some tips you to write 'invite-to-read' headline:

> Write your headline based on something that derives from
personal experience. Personal experience will always arouse
others' curiosity

For example:

"How I Made $17,917 In 3 Days Using Options"

> Use exact numbers in your headline:

$17,917 will make people see it's real rather than $17,000 thus
helping creates picture in their mind. Ideal mental picture,
where they can see themselves in that favorable conditions. In
this case, they can see themselves making that $17,917

 2) Simplicity Your Words

 Write your sentence with words that's easy to understand. 

For example, instead of using 'ornamental' you can use
'attractive'. 

If there's certain specialized terms from your field explain the
meaning for your readers.

For example, '7 PR'. 

While it something common for someone with Internet Marketing
basic, but it's new lingo for accountant.

Your readers will appreciate for saving their times when
otherwise they have to drill down all the net meanwhile on the
other hand they got a lot to do.

Remember simplicity always works.

 3) Shorter Your Sentence

 Break your article up into short sentence. No more than 5
lines. Read through screen is difference with read though paper
book.

Read through computer screen makes your eyes tired faster.

Beside, it's easier to read and devour through short sentence
rather than over-crowded sentence.

You can see this article as an example.

 4) Inject Your Personality Into Your Article

 Write something about yourself. 

What's your experience related with your article? Do you love
something that related with your stuff? Or

You can slide some jokes in the body of your article (jokes not
mean you tell something stupid).

This way you'll appear more human, than unknown behind the
screen which eventually will lead to create relationship with
your targeted customers.

 5) Change Confusing Words Into Understandable Words

 For example: night-blooming cereus into flowering cactus.

This will make a whole world change for you. 

Imagine you came across two articles with headline "7 Rules
Upkeep of Night-Blooming Cereus" and "7 Rules Upkeep of
Flowering Cactus"

Which one you'd like to read?

Trust me there're a lot who have night-blooming cereus but don't
know its name. Though I don't have one but I know Flowering
Cactus.

 6) Give a Lot of Bullet Points

 All books which discussing about copywriting will screaming
benefit, BEnefit, BENEFIT...

Why?

Because for one thing only, it works.

So the same as writing article. Different purpose but same
rules. For example:

What you have to before doing any business? > research the
market > survey prospective customers > determine your budget >
write proposal for bank's loan

Another reason, this way you can tell exactly what you want to
tell without need to write back and forth many sentences just to
tell one point.

Not only confuse your readers, but also exhaust yourself.

 7) Use Conversational Words Often

 Try to use as many of blended words we use in everyday
conversation as possible. 

You can write "you're" rather than "you are", if in that way you
break the barriers between you and your readers.

 Final Note

Different cases need different approaching. Sometimes you can
use all of the above techniques but sometimes there's only one
or two that fit with your current conditions.
