How to write article that attracts your readers

| September 1, 2011

I have promised you about how to write article that attract readers. Now I will give you the tips on how to write article that are compelling and can make your readers stay to read it.
Actually, writing the article was only a matter of habit. At first, you’ll probably find it difficult to write it. In fact, you may need 1 day or maybe 2 days to be able to write article. (I did it too). But if you write more frequently, then you’ll begin to get used to and may only need an hour or less to write an article.

Writing an article on the blog is somewhat different from writing articles for magazines or papers. Here are required to be creative, because you must pay attention to two important factors, visitors and search engines or for SEO purposes.

how to write article-2011This time I will give you some tips on how to write article for the purpose of your blog readers or visitors.

1. Create an interesting title

The title is the first part that visitors see when they come to your blog. So that your visitors stay sticky and keep reading your blog articles, the title should look nice and perfect.

If you want to write article about diet pills, you should not write a title like “How to loose weight” or “Diet pills are great.” Honestly, visitors will feel saturated with these titles.

You should make it different and more promising, like:
“How to lose weight in 30 days in a healthy manner?”
“I managed to lose my weight by 50 pounds in just 30 days?”
“The easy way to get healthy and attractive body?”
and so on.

Remember, you’re not writing an article for the media or journals. But, you’re writing for marketing purposes. So, you should make people feel amazed by your title.

2. Do a research and collect more reference used to make articles.
You can just write article about diet pills in accordance with your personal experience, but it would be much better if you have other reference.
This can be used to enrich your knowledge about the topic you write. This reference will also help you if you suddenly ‘stuck’ in the middle of the discussion.

To find a good reference source, you must also consider the source. Try looking only at the official website or websites that have been tested for accuracy, e.g. Wikipedia.

3. Focus on the topic.
You should always focus on your topic. If you give too complicated sentences, the readers could have simply shut down your blog and switch to other blogs.
For that, try to focus on the topic you choose in your article.

You can make a draft for it.  The draft will help you to write a systematic and focused. You do not have to worry about getting lost in the middle of the writing process because the draft will lead you on a clear purpose.
Similarly, you do not need to be wary of writing topic that is too broad and too narrow, because the draft will help you limit the topic for each section in your article.

For beginning writers, make a draft is really needed.

4. Use the pronoun and the second (I, me and you)

You simply use I, me and you in your articles. You are not making scientific articles and some kind like it.
Use also the conversation sentences. Don’t get too formally. But you need to check the spelling and coherence of each sentence. Are the sentences within a paragraph have systematic sentences or not? If not, try to edit until it is completely understandable.

5. Check the spelling and writing words and sentences.
In order to facilitate the understanding of each post, you must re-check if there is a spelling error in the sentence.

Articles with good spelling will regularly be more easily understood by the reader.

6. Write a question.
Many blogs never give space for their reader to think. You can see, there are a lot of blogs that have quality articles, but almost no one of them ever gives the opportunity for their readers to add some comments.

Do not make your article or blog like the “haunted house” that seemed never been visited by others. No matter how good your article and how many articles you write, it will all be in vain without any comments from your readers.
For that, every time you write article, try covering it with provide questions or invitation to others to make a comment.

Well, it is 6 basic tips that you can use as a reference on how to write article.

What about your own? Are there other tips about how to write article that I have not put here?

    Social marketing is very important and a lot of blog owners do not promote their blog from social sites(the king is facebook not twitter a lot of spammers.)Also i think ppc advertising is very important for promoting.Nice to meet you Andy C , keep your great work!

    It is difficult to write a unique article that attracts visitors.I think that the best option is to write a useful article(it doesnt have to be unique) and promote it with advertising.

Thanks for the tips though, I think these are great and I will definitely keep them in mind the next time I sit down to write something. :)

  14. The first thing that the readers will notice is the title. So basically you just need a catchy title to make your article to captivate anyone who reads it. Another thing I observe that makes the article even more readable is to use bullets to separate ideas, sub-categories and other techniques to keep article concise.

  15. Nitin Kumar says:

    thanks for the post that teach us how to write articles

  16. I guess writing articles are important to attract readers and you do not only focus on one topic alone because it might bore those who are not interested on that same topic. Lotsa topics would mean more readers.

  17. Andy,
    I like your idea of adding a question area for visitors. I can see where it can really help visitors feel that your blog is active and interactive.

  18. I think the title is the most important factor when we talk about attracting readers. Since it’s the first thing they can get acquainted with. the chance of readers to actually read your article depends on how good your title is.

  19. files free download says:

    I think create a interesting option is the most important thing to attracts readers.Most people want to see some thing new.

  20. These are some good tips. I spent a little time as a journalist and it’s hard to break those formal habits and get used to just talking to people. You do it well.

  21. I think adding something popular/in-demand news, things, or something in the blog will make it interesting to the readers especially if its credible.

  22. Ashok Jain says:

  26. Sofa Burbank says:

    Oh my god this picture is ADORABLE!! I am sending it to all of my friends. The article writing advice is good too, though! Spell check and grammar correction is one of the most important parts for me – correctly written words are far more credible than anything else in my opinion.~Kayla

  27. Really nice tips especially for beginners. I just started blogging and I need to read about how to write a good article. I agree with you, no matter how good you write, it will be useless without any comments. You can submit your articles to social networking sites. It will help you increase your traffic.

  28. It was Very refreshing post with attractive ideas.Thanks for your post.

  29. nice article. do you use any tools or programs for re-writing?

  30. I have been writing since time immemorial. The problem with my blogs, I realized, is that they are too personal. Readers does not really care what you had for breakfast. I think that if you are writing a personal blog, make it an inspiring post or something that readers will relate by experience. Not just because you both had spam and eggs.

  31. Siegfried says:

    one more thing – you should try to write article that will actually HELP your readers solve their problems – ie. “how to blog” article

  32. I like writing articles but I want to right something that I experience on my day to day living but then people are not that interested with my life so I am still checking out things that might be my interest and could be the interest of others. I am still trying to find my niche.

  33. Rob Benwell says:

  35. These are good to know tips. We are all into writing to attract readers but I guess we have to choose a good topic that will surely interest readers.

  36. Really the tips you give are good advices , but also a writer should have in mind that there is no chance to attract All Readers, so he must be true to himself and rely on the people who think like him and like his style!
