3 Article Writing Tips Every Article Writer Needs to Know

Oh boy, here we go again with the same old worn out article writing tips that every article with this type of title gets.

Remember bullets and numbering
Use short snappy paragraphs
Keep your articles between 300 and 500 words in length
Yawn!!!

Don’t you wish that an article writer would actually be gutsy enough to come out with something fresh to share about article marketing? It’s almost like doing their freelance article writing just to get clicks to their Web projects.

Truth is, they are, and so do I.

But, that doesn’t mean we can’t bring forth new easy to follow content for article readers to learn from. Actually, that is exactly what I plan to do in this article so keep reading.

*** SEO Article Writing ***

There are books of information available on SEO article writing, but who has time to read them all? Aren’t we supposed to be writing?

It’s Google to the rescue on this one with their Wonder Wheel. Go Google something, anything and in the results on the left side you’ll see a bunch of cool new free tools that Google provides. Scan down the list till you get to the Wonder Wheel.

The Wonder Wheel provides you with all the related keywords to your main keyword that are available on the Web. Put “quotes” around your keyword phrase for even more targeted results.

Gather the words that make sense with your main keyword.

To do this I normally open a notepad and make two headings.

PRIMARY (I put my main keyword here)
SECONDARY (I put the related keywords that the Wonder Wheel tells me about here)
Now I can go about article marketing while weaving Google’s content into my article. This is called LSI (Latency Semantic Indexing) SEO article writing, and it is appreciated by humans and search engines alike as it delivers much more than your rehashed hashed articles.

*** Article Marketing ***

Many people write articles and expect the audience to come. Perhaps that worked in the beginning, but it sure doesn’t work today with flying colors.

Even if you created a smash hit article, it has trouble picking up momentum if you don’t talk about it.

See, in the “real world” it’s all about “word of mouth.” On the Internet it’s called “word of web” and functions by communications with…

Social networking communities
Social bookmarking networks
Blog and forum postings
Whatever it takes to bring momentum to the equation is what you need to do after completing your article.

Here are the steps I generally take.

Write and publish article on article directory.
Point to article from social bookmarking networks
Ping the social bookmarking networks
This causes momentum to build for your project which leads to more views, more excitement and more publicity for the article even if it is about article writing tips.

*** You Gotta Be Me ***

My last point is probably a given for most people.

You gotta be me!

Well, not me me, but you me.

Oh boy, let’s see if I can explain.
