Writing articles is the craze today because of the enormous benefits authors can derive from them. To most people writing articles is not a difficult proposition but what is difficult is to write articles that make reading an enjoyable experience. To succeed in this aspect of article writing, several inputs have to come into play.
Here are some of the important inputs that make reading an article a pleasant and enjoyable experience.
Whatever expert knowledge an author might display, if the article is riddled with grammatical errors and spelling mistakes most readers will not hesitate to click off rather than go through the agony of reading the whole article. The purpose of writing such an article becomes a waste of time and effort. Hence every effort should be made to check the article for grammatical errors and spelling mistakes before publishing.
Whenever a topic is discussed there should be a free flow of ideas and continuity, which makes reading an enjoyable experience. Picking bits and pieces from here and there and piecing them up does not make good reading material. For writing articles of quality extensive research is certainly helpful but knowledge gained from other sources should be put down in your own words and a continuous flow of ideas maintained right from the beginning to the end. This makes reading enjoyable.
A reader picks up an article to read from an article directory for various reasons. It could be that the title has captivated him or he is searching for articles on a particular topic to gather information. He is not going to waste his time reading some nonsense. He is hungry for information. He wants to improve his knowledge. Good Content is what the reader is interested in. Hence your article should be Informative, Precise and Accurate.
If the title is misleading or if the article is of poor quality the reader will move off to another article. Hence when writing articles it is very important that your articles are of quality and displays your expertise in no uncertain terms. The credibility of the author should never be in doubt. You should never get hold of a captive audience and brag about yourself or your business after attracting him to read your article. This is the last thing you should ever do if you intend to build a reputation in the Internet world as an expert author. What the audience perceives about you as an author is what really matters.
Articles written sincerely from the heart are very much appreciated and accepted by the audience because they realize that you are trying to be helpful. The audience begins to enjoy reading your articles and often anxiously awaits your next publication. Their admiration for your articles will gradually turn into trust resulting in increased business.
These inputs are necessary to be successful in article writing and if implemented judiciously in your writing the outcome will be a beautifully written article giving the audience an enjoyable reading experience. With an increasing readership the rewards will start gathering momentum and writing articles will soon be a way of life.

Those are some really valid tips on writing a good article. I completely agree that something which written well and from the heart is much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. With all the semantics done properly, if the writing is not sincere... it's easily forgotten. The ones that get viral are those written from the heart and holds a memorable story for the reader. Thanks for sharing this information. I need this as I am currently writing a book ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are very helpful tips especially for amateur bloggers/writers like me. I have to agree about the misleading titles. I've come across articles in Facebook with misleading titles and photos and it's so annoying. So the next time I see it's from the same site, I automatically ignores it (though it's a known site). The credibility was gone.
ReplyDeleteThese are great tips. A reader will only spend a few seconds on your article, so you really have to make it interesting for them to stay and finish reading your piece.
ReplyDeleteBeing a writer is not an easy job. I used to be, last year and it's really brain draining experience for me especially if you have a topic that you don't have any single idea about it. You have to do extensive reasearch
ReplyDeleteAfter writing for nearly 3 years, it is indeed very difficult to satisfy the different audience. Some like a pictorial, some prefer infogram. It took me some time before I learnt how to juggle and balance between both and yet to touched their hearts...
ReplyDeleteA fantastic post! Some great pointers - but the main one being spelling and grammatical errors, they drive me insane!
ReplyDeletevery informative! not everyone would like the same style of writing. humour and witty posts are something i enjoy
ReplyDeletethis is my problem too.. sometimes it requires also an inspiration to go with a flow of idea while writing... nice point
ReplyDeleteI agree that if the title is misleading or if the article is of poor quality the reader will most likely move off to another article. Tough thing to do for a writer.
