Article writing is one of the most effective ways of advertising your business. This advertising strategy is free yet it could bring great results for your business. The secret to succeeding in article marketing is to write as much articles as possible but remember to keep in mind that the articles should be of high quality and should not be just randomly written. The enormous number of articles linking to your website would bring the web traffic you need but it would not automatically translate to profit. It is the actual content of your website that would make it profitable, not the website design and if you do not pay particularly close attention to your content, writing gazillions of articles would be pointless.
The first 3 things that you need to think of in article writing is readability, quality and catchiness. Remember that you are not writing a novel so you do not have to discuss a detailed background of your business. Once the article is too hard to understand, the readers would get tired of reading it after the first paragraph. The interested buyers should find it informative and helpful to make them read the whole article so be sure to research! You may include a little hype in the articles but never overdo the sales talk because it could get annoying for the reader. Only subtly promote your product and get rid of the sales pitch. You have to convince the reader that your products and services are worth their time without directly saying so. Present facts you have obtained through research and relate them to your product. That way, the readers would realize on their own how your products would benefit them.
In article writing, you will need to make the reader comfortable while going through the article. When writing, think as if you are only talking to a friend. That way, the article would have a friendly tone and the reader would feel at ease. Avoid using jargons or language that people find it hard to understand. You have to relate to your customers in every way so try to free your articles from technical terms as much as possible. And if you need to include difficult or technical terms, always provide a clear explanation right next to the term that was used.
In order to make sure that you clearly explain your every point, focus first on writing the introduction and the conclusion. The introduction should serve as a summary of the whole article but do not put every important point in the introduction because then you would have nothing to write in the actual body of the article. The introduction should only capture the interest of the reader if the title fails to do so. The actual body or content of the article should do the talking. The conclusion is also very important in article writing because this often seals the deal. In the conclusion, you would have the final chance in convincing the reader to go check out your products.
