Article Writing - 7 Tips On Writing Your First Article

By Connie Ragen Green

Writing your first article may seem like impossibility, if you have not written for many years since you were in school. But remember that writing is like anything else; the more you practice the easier it will become. Here are some tips on how to write your first article and submit it to an article directory.

* Make some notes before you start writing your article. Include in these notes what your topic will be, some tips about the topic, or some solutions to a problem the reader may be having.

* For example, if you are writing an article about losing weight, you might make some notes about how to get started on a diet, some tips on how to keep from getting hungry during the first days of a diet, and how to start losing weight if you are over fifty.

* Begin your article with a paragraph that describes what you want to tell your reader. Then, introduce them to your tips, ideas, or solutions to their situation.

* List these ideas or tips. Make an effort to list them in a logical order that will make sense.

* Write a concluding paragraph that gives them more information, but leaves them wanting more.

* Write a resource box that invites them back to your website or blog. Give them a reason to visit, such as offering them more free tips or a special report on your topic.

* Submit your article to at least three of the largest article directories. Ezine Articles is the very largest, so submit your article to them first.
