Hook for

Most readers (skimmers, actually) won’t get past
title. So make it a grabber. Give them
reason to keep reading. In this case, it’s long (which I’m convinced works best). This title has three sections - which track with
body of
article.

Build Your Professional Reputation
616 mentions in Google is an impressive yield for a single article. Admittedly, not all cites provide live links or appear on high Page Rank sites - but some do. (And there are duplicates in that number.) But given
amount of my effort involved, I’m well repaid.
Now, think past any single article, to
impact that niche-specific articles can have on your professional standing. Let me prove it. Search Google for "Yellow Page ads" (in quotes). When
query results show 38 million pages, enter "Lynella Grant" in
Search within Results box. The outcome: 5,000 pages related to Yellow Page ads refer to me. That’s a ripple in
Internet universe, but certainly positions me for other activities in that arena.
Don’t you think you or your website can profit from similar online visibility? Writing articles is
way to go.
