          START BY CREATING AN OUTLINE   

  Headline - Introduction - Body - Conclusion - Resources - Link Box         

 • Headline - This is the first thing that potential readers read. You should use positive words and sentences to draw the reader into the article. If your writing about a specific problem, then start out with any positive points first such as; What will the reader get out of the article and a conclusive resolution to the problem. Use the strong points of your article in the first few sentences to gain interest. The headline is the make it or break it paragraph or the deciding point for the reader to continue reading.

 • Introduction - In the introduction you will introduce the problem or passion discussing specific points that may have affected your life. A sub-header is a good idea to separate various parts of your article giving highlight to that paragraph of your article.      

 • Conclusion - In the conclusion you will sum up the article with a brief overall summary and a dramatic statement for the reader to notice the problem and take action for a resolution. Include some kind of marketable statements giving the reader different directions to the solution.

 • Resources - Provide marketable or profitable resources for the reader to utilize.

 • Link Box - Place any links to yourself and links to helpful sites.

 Always make sure you proof read your article several times and utilize your spell checker to correct any grammar and punctuation mistakes. Most effective articles are 500 to 800 words avoiding run on sentences or same meaning words. An article writer consistently publishes at least one article per week to keep readers following.
