8 Ways to Make Your Articles Go the Extra
Mile!
8 wonderful formats to develop
articles that run an extra lap for you!
Your audience is hungry for
information. But they want it in the right format.
The format must be easy to read, easy to digest
and easy to apply. If you deliver your articles
the way your audience likes it, they will reward
you by reading every article you publish.
They will even visit your website,
sign-up for your ezine
and eventually visit your product page just
to receive more
of your helpful information. By writing short
articles you
can capture attention, gain more traffic, create
more sales
and most importantly, be helpful to people when
they need
it. Here are seven quick tips to help you format
your
articles and make them go the extra mile:
1. Question/Answer.
This is a popular format for everyone
wants their questions answered in a 123 fashion.
If only
all questions could be answered in a numbered
method.
Discover your audience's burning questions that
you have
the answers for. List the questions; write a
short
paragraph that answers each question. Write
a short
introduction and even shorter summary. There
you have it.
An easy to read and easy to digest short article
answering
your audience's most pressing questions.
2. Problem/Solution.
I absolutely love this format. I
myself have gotten tons of problems solved with
this
format, after reading someone's problem/solution
article.
Therefore, many of my business problems that
I solve become guess what kind of article? Yes.
You are right; they become problem/solution
articles. Simply describe the problem in one
short paragraph and offer the solution in a
one sentence paragraph below it. Or vice versa,
describe the problem in a one sentence paragraph
and give the solution in the longer paragraph.
3. Myth/Truth.
The myth/truth format is another format
that I use often in my writing. I guess because
there are
plenty of myths to destroy in any field. No,
really I don't
see it used as much as the other formats. So
it becomes one of my attempts to be different.
Also, you can easily
convert other formats of yours or your favorite
writer. For
example, if you are inspired by another writer's
topic
instead of plagiarizing their work simply turn
their list
of mistakes into secrets or solutions. Simply
present the
facts in your own voice and viewpoint.
4. Tips/Advice.
I think you know by now. I love writing
short articles that help people. I mention that
because I
felt myself wanting to write, the same words
at the
beginning of this tip. You know," I love
the tip format."
This article is a great example of the tips
format. I
listed eight tips and short advice on how to
accomplish the
tip. So, list out your tips and write a short
paragraph of
advice to explain the tip.

I'm
stuck. I have to stop writing until I feel it
again, right?
From what I said earlier you
may have gotten the impression that you just
write when you feel like it and quit when you
don’t. If so, no that’s not what
I meant. Unseasoned writers may play the martyr
and push through just to put something on paper
or give up and try again another day. We would
never get it done like that.
When you get stuck simply close
that chapter and pull out your chapter outline
and choose another chapter. If you have been
following this program, you have listed main
points for each chapter. Select a topic from
that chapter and begin there.
To maintain your momentum keep
your writing commitments. Go around writer’s
block by working on another chapter. For example,
while writing this book in one of my writing
sessions, I wanted to finish my fourth chapter
on titles but I ran into a writer’s block.
Instead of breaking my momentum, I came down
to chapter eight about easy writing and began
there. I was able to complete my time commitment
of one hour and keep my momentum.
