5 Powerful Article Writing Tips

5 Powerful Article Writing Tips
© Terri Seymour

Writing articles is one of the most powerful, if not
the most powerful methods of building your reputation
and your online business. Not only do you get unlimited
exposure, but it is fre^e as well!

If your article is well-written, you will probably get
listed on numerous websites as well as in several
ezines. This will establish you as someone who
knows what they are talking about and will more than
likely bring you many visitors and subscribers.

People will start to come to you when they need
information or products or advice. This is a great
way of establishing your online presence.

Writing articles is not as hard as you may think. You
do not have to be a professional writer to produce an
effective article. Below are some tips to help you
get started.

1. Don't worry about big fancy words.

People are looking for easy to understand, down-to-
earth articles to help them learn. They are not
interested in being impressed with encyclopedia
language skills.

2. Advertise in your resource box, not the article.

Do not use you article as a big sales letter for a
product or program. Give your info in the resource
box. I would recommend you just try to get people
to sign up for your newsletter or free report/ecourse
in your resource box. Save the selling for later.

3. Make yourself accessible if someone wants to get
in touch with you.

People want to know that they can get in touch with
you if they have questions about your article, website,
etc. Always make it easy for them to find you.

4. Provide basic, real, useful information as well as
resources to go along with the info.

When writing your article, try to list some useful
resources that your readers can utilize along with
the information you give them. This will further
give people a reason to want to stay in touch with
you or your website.

5. Write from the heart!

Do not be afraid to let your personality shine through
in your writing. This will make people more apt to
trust you and will also make them more comfortable.
Write as if you were talking to a friend and let the
real you shine through. I think people appreciate this
more than trying to sound like something you are not!

Do not let your doubts stop you from writing articles
to build your reputation and your business. I did
for awhile, but then took the plunge. My first article
did surprisingly well and yours can as well! ;-)
