Writing articles, hey? With a sense of galloping irony, I have been sat at my table trying to write this for a nice thirty minutes. Although writing articles is a amazing way of establishing yourself as an specialist in your field, gaining significant web-site traffic and promoting your business online, the actual articles themselves are not always simple to write. Where do you start? What on earth do you actually write about?
Not everyone is a natural writer. If writing is something you struggle with, you can take the simple but pricey option and outsource by hiring a ghost-writer to generate your articles for you. Alternatively you can practice, practice, practice and gradually teach yourself how to get better. In case you fancy giving it a go yourself, there's several ways to smooth the method and get those creative juices flowing.
But what will I write about?
This is the biggie for beginners (and even for the more experienced). How are you able to generate content when you haven't got a clue what to say? Try these ideas for size and the words ought to soon start flowing...
First, over an 'ideas notebook' and a pen about with you (there's similar apps on smartphones as well). Ideas for articles can strike you in the most inappropriate locations and you don't require to be caught out thinking 'of work, I'll write about that!' only to have your amazing idea slip from your memory. Everytime you think of an idea for an editorial, or even a mini-idea, write it down. You can bullet point finer details in the event that they occur to you. Sometimes all you might get is a title but write it down anyway - you can always build on it later on.
Try writing at different times of the day. You might find the words flow much more basically at 6.30am than they do at 5pm, or vice versa.
If you are stuck, go for a walk. There is something about being outside in the fresh air, meditatively putting foot in front of the other, that can help release you from writer's block.
Top or top0 lists or tips are always welcome. They are shorter and simpler to both read and write. One time you have made your or0 points, it is often then much simpler to come up with an opening and closing paragraph.
If you are stuck for content, try trawling the newspapers, or specialist forums, or the publications of your target market. You'll be able to ascertain the relevant issues of the day and this might spark some ideas. In the same vein, is there a topical or seasonal event coming up that you could use a basis for an editorial?
Like so plenty of things in life, writing does get simpler with practice. Don't give up in case you think your articles are not nice enough; try and try again until the words flow. As you gain skills and confidence, you'll soon be able to shape those words in to articles that are a pleasure to read and as enjoyable to write.
If in doubt, 'brain dump'. Set a timer for thirty minutes, sit down and write whatever comes in to your head. Don't cease to edit or alter anything; write away as if your life depended on it. When the timer goes off, have a glance at what you have got. All right, sometimes it is going to be a load of rubbish but you also might be pleasantly surprised at what you finish up with.
