3. Make Your Article Original, Factual And Informative
Publishers are generally looking for informative, factual articles that will interest and benefit their readership through
information it shares.
They are also looking for originality, and will likely sift through articles containing
same old topics to find an article that contains a certain spark of original thought. Remember, they are looking for high quality articles that will stimulate their readership - if you can't provide that, they won't publish your article.
Can you provide a new slant on an old topic; some new timely and relevant information; a twist on an accepted concept? Is your article thought-provoking, or just churning out
same old, same old?
4. Treat Your Article Title As A Headline
In
same way that a headline on a sales page is crucial for your conversion rate, and
subject of an email has a huge effect on
open rate,
title of your article is critically important if you want publishers to publish it, and people to read it and from there follow through to your site.
Make your title interesting and enticing, and your results will improve dramatically. For example, 'The Top Ten Little-Known Ways To Improve Your Online Sales', will achieve much better results than 'Improving Online Sales'.
Often a good approach to article writing is to start with
headline first, and once you've got that right, write
article to fit
headline.
5. Write It, Then RIGHT It
An article will often vastly improve if you leave it alone a while after
first draft. Go back to it after at least a day or two, and read through it - you will be amazed at how much you can improve it.
Apart from spotting spelling mistakes, you will likely notice parts of
article that do not read well and that you can improve. Spending a few minutes doing this will vastly increase
likelihood of your article being published, and improve your results immeasurably.
By following these tips, you can turn an average quality article into one of high quality that publishers will be eager to publish, and that readers will enjoy reading -
end result for you is a marked improvement in
levels of targeted traffic that your article attracts to your web site.
