Writing can be a hobby, an
interest, or an occupation. Many people are capable of writing quality articles
but have no idea where to begin or are not confident with their fluency in the
language. That’s what this article is about; how to write high quality
articles that attract attention. Do you believe that you can be a quality
writer? Do you want to be a quality writer?
If you look at writing in a technical viewpoint, yes, it can be
difficult but that is only when it comes to the rules of language and grammar,
which you can learn quickly. Many people have stated that they are excellent
speakers but that does not necessarily hold true for writing. A person can be
good at speaking but not at writing, and vice versa. Everyone is capable of
becoming a writer given they are willing to learn the process of writing an
article step by step.
Here are some tips:
1. Audience: Think about the audience that will be
reading your article. If you were in their shoes, would you read what you are
writing? Keep in mind that you want your audience to read your article all the
way through to the end.
2. Brainstorming and Research: Think about the topic you will write and
the information you want to put in the article. This will help you create a
flow of the article and narrow down the research that you will be doing to
gather all the data that will be put into your article.
3. Title: Create a title that is interesting and
thought provoking so as to get the attention of the readers. At the same time,
the title also has to relay what kind of information the readers will be
getting out of the article. As a reader yourself, would you actually read an
article whose title is very technical and boring?
4. Introduction: The introduction is there to inform the
readers what they will be learning as they read the article. Keep the
introduction short but concise and simple enough to understand. There is no
need to use complicated words because then you will be narrowing down your
audience. The same goes for the rest of the article.
5. Body: This is where you will put all the
information that you have gathered in your research. Remember to write it as if
you were explaining it in your own words because this makes the article more
relatable and easy to understand. The content of your article should also be
entertaining and at the same time educational. In the body, there are many ways
to write, but if the article is for the internet, you can use bullets or
numbering. By doing this, you make the information more concise and easier for
the audience to read, and at the same time, giving yourself structure and you
will know what will come next, creating a good flow to your writing and to the
readers. Also, remember to take a pause in between your paragraphs. When
paragraphs are lengthy with little white space, readers tend to lose interest
in the article.
6. Conclusion: Recap the information that you have given
in the entire article briefly. This is where you explain to the readers the
main points of your article and the importance of the information you shared
with them. When you end your article, you can also give them a few words or
questions to make them think about the article and what they have learned from
it and maybe how they can use this information to solve a problem or improve a
situation.
7. Proofreading: When you are done writing your article,
you will learn, as a writer, that proofreading is essential in the process. You
should go back and read the entire article again to ensure that there are no
errors with your grammar, punctuation, or sentence construction. If there are
areas in your article that you feel , make sense or are out of place, then you
can edit them or omit them. When going through the proofreading process, you
can make sure for yourself that the article that you will be posting is at its
best.
As you are learning how to write high quality articles that
attract attention, you will also learn that you will not be able to grasp all
of it overnight. It will take time and errors along the way before you become
an expert at it. The most important thing about writing is that there is always
room to improve. As a writer, you will have an audience, and these readers will
be able to give you feedback with regards to your writing because as readers,
they are now the judges or critics of your work. Their feedback can be very
helpful to you as a writer.
These are merely tips to help you learn the basic process of
writing a quality article. Using these tips, you will also be able to work
faster and have direction throughout the processes of writing quality articles.
No matter how advanced the writing style or the article, these fundamental
elements of writing will always be there. So, continue exploring the endless
possibilities of your writing and remember that practice makes perfect.
