Most likely, you are one of the people who dread having to write papers or articles. You may feel like it's too much work and no one is going to read it anyway. For others, reading articles seems like work, especially if the article is boring and very bland. Naturally, articles are supposed to be read, that’s their purpose - to pass on or convey your message and information. If it is not read then it is a waste of time and effort.
That said, I know one thing for certain - you have to write the articles to get them read. It’s just a matter of making them good (or good enough that someone will spend a minute with them). Making a good article doesn’t have to be strenuous and straining. There are just a few tips and guidelines to follow. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles is actually fun, as well as profitable for you and your site.
Of course, writing articles must be about something you know about. That’s why if you own a site, you probably are knowledgeable about what ever you offer on the site or write about on your blog. When you write about it, you won’t have a hard time because you already know what it is and what it’s about. It’s just a matter of making your articles creative and interesting. To make sure that your articles get read and enjoyed, here are six red-hot tips to get your articles read. These tips will make your articles readable and interesting.
1) Use short paragraphs.Do NOT Ignore This! When the paragraphs are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of your reader. The information becomes confusion and reading becomes hard work. Your reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles that have short paragraphs. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word! So start by making it easy for your readers.
2) Make use of numbers or bullets.For each point you make, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to remember and digest. Starting a key point or idea with a number or bullet literally dircects your reader where the tips start and keeps them focused. Format your bullets and numbers with indentations so that your article won’t look like a single block of square paragraphs. This also adds a little flair and pizzazz to your article's shape.
3) Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs in the page.Doing this will break each point into sections and makes it easy for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition is smooth and easy. You will never lose your readers attention it keeps your article focused on the point and direction to where the going.
4) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header.It is essential that your title entice a person’s curiosity. This is how you get your reader to read! Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content but should also be short and concise.
Use titles like, “7 Tips on making her want you more”, or “How to make her swoon and blush” .You could also use titles that can command people, for example, “Make him want you with 1 quick glance”. These types of titles reach out to a persons’ emotions and makes them interested.
5) Keep them interested from the start to the finish.From your opening paragraph, use real life situations that can be adopted by the reader. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive in your point, just don’t over do it. Relate things to your personal experiences. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. Making the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.
6) Utilize figures when necessary and not just ordinary and insipid statements.Using specific facts and figures can heighten your article because it makes it authoritative. But do not make it too formal, it should be light and easy in them and flow. Like a friendly teacher having a little chat with an eager student.
