Writing an article is a tremendous way to attract high quality traffic to your website and brand yourself as an authority in your area of expertise. Writing articles is one of the most cost effective ways to promote a website or business.

Writing an article is a simple process which anyone can do. If you follow the simple steps included in this article you will be a pro in no time.

Step #1: Find your target audience

When you’re writing an article it’s important to picture yourself in your prospects shoes. Visualize what they want then deliver your content based on what they are looking for.

You’ll have a captive audience once you know what your prospect is looking for.

Step #2: Choose your keywords wisely

When you’re writing an article your main goal is to get your prospects to read it, right? Well they will never even see your article if you don’t choose the proper keywords. The two types of keywords that you need to look for when you write an article are called long tailed and short tailed keywords.

Example of a short-tailed keyword (Article Writing). Example of a long-tailed keyword (How to Write an Article).

Choosing a long-tailed keyword over a short-tailed keyword when writing an article will give you the best chance of getting your article viewed by your prospect. Long-tail keywords are more specific than short-tailed keywords and there is far less competition fighting for your prospect.

Step #3: Choose what topic you want to write about

Once you’ve picked what long tailed keyword that you want to use, it’s time to chose the topic that you are going to write about.

If your long tailed keyword is “writing an article,” then your topic could be “writing an article the proper way.”

Step #4: Write article

Writing an article is an easy process and should only take 30-60 minutes to complete. Its important to just sit down and start writing and not worry about making your article perfect.

Here’s some simple steps to writing an article quickly:

1. Think about the 3 main points to your article and make them into one sentence each. 2. After choosing your 3 main points, write 3-5 sentences for each of those points. 3. The 3 main points that you’ve chosen will bee the first sentence of your 3 main paragraphs. 4. The 3-5 sentences will be the body of each paragraph.

All you need is an introduction paragraph now that your three main paragraphs are complete.

*All you need to do is write 3-4 sentences that sum up the the paragraphs and you can make this your introduction.

The last thing that you need is a conclusion.

*Write 2-3 sentences that sum up the three main points you’ve written and this will be the conclusion.

Step #5: Write article title

When you write the title it’s important to follow these steps.

1. Make sure that your entire keyword is in the article title. 2. Insert your keyword as close to the beginning of your article as possible. 3. People like to have their questions answered, so if you can make your title a question.

Step #6: Distribute your article to directories

It’s very important to distribute your article to as many article sites as possible so your article will rank higher in the search engines.

There are some programs on the Internet that will submit your article to hundreds of article marketing sites automatically for you. This will save you a tremendous amount of time and it’s very well worth the investment. I highly recommend using Unique Article Wizard is you choose to use an article submitter.

If you want to achieve top search engine rankings then writing an article is a tremendous way to do it. Just make sure that you write lots of them, not just one.

The best part about it is that it’s free advertising. The search engines will show your article for free if you’ve written a quality article. That’s why it’s so important to write your article effectively today because you will reap the benefits for years to come.
