I get a lot of questions from my subscribers asking how to write articles. If my subscribers are asking about it, I assume that many others also want information on writing articles. Following is a basic outline on how to get started writing articles and getting them published on the Internet.

You do not need to be the next Stephen King to write articles. Most authors are people just like you and me. Write in a simple, easy to understand tone. Write it as though you are talking to a friend. An informal article written in a conversational manner is best.

Start out by writing on subjects you are familiar with. After you gain some writing experience, you can begin to research and write about topics you are not familiar with. Try to keep the length of your articles between 300 and 500 words.

One of the main components of your article is the title. Spend some time developing a good title that attracts readers. Your title is the advertising for your article. In most cases, your article will be listed along with many others. People normally scan through the article titles to decide which one interests them. If your article contains a compelling title, it will attract more readers. If your title is dull and uninteresting, few people will read your article.

Start your article with a good introduction. Tell the reader why you are writing the article and why how they might benefit by reading it.

After the introduction, start a new paragraph and begin the body of your article. Separate it into different paragraphs for each point you want to cover. By using a number of paragraphs, it is easier on the eyes and makes for a more attractive presentation. The body of your article should provide between three and ten points that you want to cover. Don't think that you have to include everything you know about the subject. Remember, you want you article to contain 300 to 500 words. Stay within those limits.

Finish the article with a solid conclusion. Recap what you told the reader and mention how they will benefit by using the information you provided.

After you've completed the article, use a good spelling and grammar checker on your work. Most word processors today include these tools so make sure you use them. If your article is riddled with errors, many publishers will not accept it. Before submitting your article, do a slow and thorough proofreading of your work. A spelling checker will not flag the word "kit" as a misspelling, even though you intended to write the word "knit".

These are the basics of article writing. As you can see, the process is easy enough for anyone to do. Believe me, if I can do it, anyone can. I'm not a brain surgeon, you know. Use the techniques described above to begin your enjoyable and lucrative career as a writer. Good luck.
