3.       Always use simple language.

4.       Using humor and comedy in the articles is a good idea – but do not overdo this.

5.       Write ‘how to’ articles to solve a problem or to show the way to all those who need help on a given topic. If your ‘how to’ guide becomes popular, you can expect it to generate a lot of traffic.

6.       Write an ‘interview’ article where you actually publish your conversation with a proven expert in your field. The interview will generate good interest.

7.       Write about your own experiences in first person. Explain a problem that you faced and how you finally overcame it and how you felt afterwards.

8.       Write articles on product reviews and A vs. B product comparisons. Such articles help people a lot to decide which product to opt for.

9.       Spread your articles far and wide. The idea of writing articles is to generate enough publicity and so it is always advisable that you submit them at many article directories.

10.   Make your articles unique. Never copy from anywhere else – there are websites that enable you to find out whether you are using copied content or not, and if that is the case, your website might be punished for this.

11.   Start a blog and keep posting new articles at least 2 to 3 times every week. Invite people to comment and engage them.

12.   Keep adding new articles. Writing articles is a continuous process and so you should keep writing new ones and adding them every month.

13.   When it seems that there may not be any more topics left, you can pick up the old topics and look for a new angle, a fresh perspective and rework on it.

14.   Not finding any more topics? You can visit some of the directories – almost always you will find new article ideas there.

15.   Write articles for the most popular keywords in your business. You can either write individual articles for each keyword or at the most club 2-3 keywords and write an article for them.
