How Do You Write An Article? Part 1 of 4
First things first – Forget Everything You Ever Learned In School about Writing.
Ok now that we got that out of the way here we go – what you learned in school doesn’t apply to article writing on the Internet. You need to keep in mind what your purpose of writing an Article is here on the Internet.
The purpose when you write an article here is to get a response and to do that you may need to use unconventional methods of writing to grab the attention of your audience.
What are the normal options your readers have?
- Visit your website link which is always located in the resource box. (bottom of your article)
- Visit an affiliate link – a large number of publishers won’t let you put an affiliate link in your article, unless of course it is in context. You can put the link in the resource box, which would be allowed regardless.
- Subscribe to a mailing list – this is a great option as when people sign up they are giving you permission to contact them by email on a regular basis.
- Subscribe to a complimentary course you are offering.
- Refer the article you wrote to other people or other sources.
- Do Nothing
- Send nasty emails to you or post derogatory messages on your blog – as long as you are doing business on the Internet you are in the public eye. On the Internet it is so easy to remain anonymous so it makes you a target for this type of behavior.
- They could contact you personally to inquire on your products or services further.
What about Article writing?
We just wanted to give you a heads up on what you need to expect when you finally get your article out to the public and be realistic in who your audience will potentially be – people from all walks of life is who you can expect to see your material online.
In Part 1 of 4 we are here to talk about The Headline of Your Article.
- Without a good headline you may as well get out of Internet Marketing right now!
- You cannot make money in business with a good headline.
- There are advertisers out there who would like you to think you need to have some special creativity to writing a killer headline.
- If you have the right knowledge and have the will to work hard at your writing skills you too can write that killer headline.
- Just remember when writing your articles the first one out will not win you any sales but after time you will do well because “The Mother Of All Skills is REPETITION”
- You need to have a sticktoitness mindset no matter what your hurdles are.
- Over 20 times as many people will read your headline compared to those that will read your sales letter.
So now you know there is no magical show to see when it comes to Article Writing – It is a skill you need to learn through repetition and you also need to do your homework on the subject you are writing about. Never get discouraged to a point where you get involved with plagiarism.
Take some time to think about a headline for your article and then get busy and start to write an article to start your online presence known to the masses.

Hi Carl,
Thank you! that first piece seems as though I can surely do something – I realized that my fear was I would be seen and then what? I should be lucky enough that one person reads it. I have my experience as a Business Developer training entrepreneurs in a classroom situation; yet putting myself out “there” feels like facing a firing squad. So you just made me see that it is just a conversation – I can just start with a comment.
Awaiting part 2 now.
Thanks again,
Betts
Hi Betts:
Thanks for your comments – I believe we have all felt that way and still do by times.
As you will probably see, once you get over that first fearful step you will have the confidence of the world and then look out world.
Part 2 has been posted so I hope it helps as well.
Regards,
Carl
