Writing articles is an important aspect of promoting your website, authoring a blog or even if you want to become a professional writer.
Remember that “Content is King”. The better way you organize your ideas, the more publicity you get. Two basic points to be kept in mind while writing an article are:-
(1) Use the simplest possible language Your writing should be able to reach maximum number of readers. This means that it must be written in the simplest language which can be understood by the widest range of people. Most frequently the writers of magazines and newspapers use the “fourth grade level”.
In other words, they’re using language that could be understood by a fourth grade reader.
This does not mean that they don’t possess the capabilities to write in hi-fi language, they just wish that the news should reach to more and more people. But surely, using simple language is not possible for all types of publications. Many of the magazines related to technical issues, social commentary or politics will use such complex language to put the audience away from the actual facts. But for such kind of writing, appropriate level of complexity is needed. Apart from such magazines, it’s always preferred to use simplest and straightforward writing style.
2. Make you article state its case in an interesting way You want to express your ideas in a way that’s useful to your readers. The better you can explain your ideas, the more readers you’re going to attract. Try to entertain your readers while getting your ideas across. Don’t go on and on, boring them in the process. Many articles written for magazines or the internet use the classic “five paragraph essay” format.
Five paragraph essay ” Step by step guide
1) First paragraph: Introduction-to represent the actual topic and related concepts in brief.
2. Second, third and fourth paragraphs - Support and expand on the introduction, giving more information about the topic.
3. Fifth paragraph - Conclude and summarize the topic of the article, leaving the reader with the purpose of the article.
If you can use the 5 paragraph essay format effectively, you can write for the internet or magazines. Use the simplest language you can, organize your ideas effectively and you’ll be a successful writer before you know it!
