Article content decides it all. Your articles decide the audience, their responses & their credits. When you start a blog (Don’t have a blog yet,  See 10 Nice Reasons to Start a Blog | Blogging is Power, create an article there are ten ways you can approach your subject matter. Which approach you choose will have a big impact on how fast you grow awareness and audience, plus will be decisive in how easy you find the actual writing. What needs to be done before taking pen on the paper is really important to know because it answers how you can write an article more effectively.

Almost every writer likes to put the best content for the readers & a little pondering before putting their fingers on the keyboard can produce best results. Brainstorms, outlines, and research are all part of the planning and preparation steps that many writers work through before they sit down to actually string words together. But there are ten important questions that every writer must ask before creating that first draft & publishing it.

1. Knowing & attracting your Audience

Rather than focusing your topic you can focus your audience. This is a tradeoff between these two. You identify a motivated audience, cater your blog articles specifically to them, and then can select anything that interests you that will interest that audience too.

2. Decide on an identified, focused subject

Identifying the right key for the lock is the art of subject identification. Audiences love when you are ultra-specific in your goal and articulate it well. It works especially well when you identify a pressing need.

3. The Power of Titles

Any article is first identified by the title. The title should be appropriate & put the major idea of the content. The title has the ability make or break a blog post. It impacts how (and if) it’s found in search engines and social bookmarking sites, it influences whether people visit your blog in News Readers, it affects whether people leave a comment and is vital in whether people actually read what you have to say.

4. Good Images conveys it All

Image gives life to simple words on the paper & every image you use must say something related to the topic. This technique can be used for providing an additional point of interest in your posts. I do use images in every post on this blog but find that when I do that those clicking through on the post in my feed reader increases. Images have the power to communicate in ways that words cannot – use them.

5. Be Original & Creative

Try to speak your own words. Come up with your own content. It helps giving readers an assurance that they reading a fresh & new content. They have got something new. You can think something unique to say and say it in a creative and fresh way. Say what everyone else is saying in the same way that everyone else is saying it and you’re almost guaranteed of being largely ignored. Stick away from any type of copyright infringement.

6. The Presentation stands for 50% of all your work

Many times online readers tend to scan content & images on the website. As a result if you place visual cues in your posts that draw their eye to important points you’ll find people stick with you longer into your posts. Think like what you will like if you visit a website that is, think like the reader’s point of view & it will help you how to present the things more simply & beautifully.

7. Work on content organization & structure

A single well written list post can launch a blog to great heights in the blogosphere. While the prolific nature of lists in the blogosphere can also mean your lists get ignored, but listing the thing helps keep your article more organized. I find that when writing the same content as a list that you write as an essay like article the list will almost always get more attention. They easily caught the attention of eye & let readers to stick to the content until they catch the idea behind them.

8. Style of your writing

There can be some difference in the tone of your writing that could not match with what readers want. A fiction piece will have an altogether different tone than a well-researched article. The language you choose, and the styles in which you write are largely directed by your target readership. Always pick a up a tone & style that is simple, clear & understandable.

9. Publishing & Socializing on a Right Platform

Few pieces of writing are publishable across different formats. You should at least have a general idea of the final format; especially be aware of whether your piece is headed for print versus electronic publication. For choosing the right socializing platform for your article after publishing it, you need to think on the need & effect of the article content on the set of readers & audience. Once you understand that, socialize it across suitable platforms.
