Formula for Writing a Web Article

If you love writing, the web article creation formula will be pretty easy for you to get the hang of. First, commit to writing your first official web article. Make a plan to post it on your website. Then, follow this writing formula, and press go!

1. Write a keyword-rich article title.
   Don’t worry if it’s not catchy yet – you can go back and finesse later. Right now you want to express the main idea so you can flow along with a few points that support whatever you’re talking about without winding down wordy side roads.
2. Write 5, 6, or 7 points to support your main idea.
   These should basically be sentences, or even phrases. Think about how your English teacher taught you to write outlines back in fourth grade or so. Keep your points simple.
3. Flesh it out.
   Write two or three sentences that develop the main idea in each of your 5, 6, or 7 main points.
4. Go back and insert illustrated examples, if you haven’t done so already.
   You need this to help clarify your meaning. One example per point is okay, but if your examples are super-short, you may want two each. Use your best judgment.
5. Tack on your first paragraph.
   Add a two or three-sentence introductory paragraph.
6. Wrap it up.
   Type out a quick, two or three-sentence concluding paragraph. Or you can skip this – your English teacher is not going to come by and scold you. 😉
7. Go back and read the entire thing, from start to finish.
   Does each idea flow into the next? Have you repeated any thoughts that can use trimming?
8. Finesse the title, add bolded headlines and clever wordplay.
   Double check your keywords. Did you include the right “buzzwords” in your title, in the first few words of the first paragraph, and the headers for each section?
9. Add your call to action at the end.
   What do you want the reader to do next?

Make Use of Web Articles to Grow Your Online Presence

The first and best place to publish articles is your website or blog. This will be the home of your content, and the place to grow your reputation as an expert.

The articles can also be shared with your email subscribers. How do you collect these? By setting up email marketing, and placing a sign-up form nearby each article you publish on your blog or website. 

After you do that for a while, you may feel ready to create an opt-in gift. The gift should be an information handout that helps your target reader learn something they want to know.

Where will you get the content to create you opt-in gift? Why you’ll be writing articles, of course. 

What happens if you don’t enjoy writing articles, or if you’d prefer to focus on some other aspect of your business?

You can outsource article writing to an expert, OR purchase done-for-you article content that you get to edit, brand, and publish as your own.
