Article Writing Tips to Use
Great writing skills are one of those things that just takes time to acquire. With repetition over time your article writing skills will get better but in the interim try some of these approaches to strengthen your talents.
Here is a list of article writing tips that I recommend that you consider using:
Article Writing Tip#1 – Be Edgy
Great articles sometimes push the boundaries on what society thinks is too much. Don’t worry about offending anyone with your writing. Some of the best pieces of literature where not created to appeal to everyone but rather a certain group. Even if it is too edgy and some people feel it might be offensive they might still push it around because great writing is often times respected even if the readers don’t agree with the concepts or thoughts.
Article Writing Tip#2 – Use Keywords Tastefully
I know it sounds very cliché to say to use keywords in your article but the key component is using them with taste. I often times see articles being written where it is evident that the keywords are the focus of the article. The article should be the focus of the article and keywords should be used as an ingredient to make that a great piece of literature to read for any industry veteran.
Article Writing Tip#3 – Layout
Your article should be easy to read. If it is difficult to read than people are going to zone out real quickly. The layout should be chunked into segments with labeled H1 tags so people can skip to what they want to read. Most people in today’s society will scan quickly through the content and pick out bits and pieces of what they want to read.
Article Writing Tip#4 – Answer The Question
Most articles have some sort of view point they are trying to convey, make sure yours conveys that message otherwise you can find yourself running out of steam in your article. Your article needs to entice other readers to question your theory or agree with it, thus leaving behind comments and creating a social aspect.
Article writing is something that will get better as long as you stick with it and give it the attention it deserves.

Wow- That just inspired me. I always thought maybe I was a bit to harsh, streetwise, and politically incorrect sometimes. But I always try to be truthful and to the point. Thanks Nick, you’re the man.
The point with articles is to treat them as extensions of your own website. If you code like you write articles, then all is well. Of course, a scammy website author can only write scammy articles. On the other hand, someone who carefully tweaks their webpages will get traffic galore from articles.
Your point about using tags as dividers isn’t particularly accurate. The general rule is to use the headline tags according to how your outline is created. Search engines aren’t dumb – and will penalize those articles with offending content, just as they do your own web pages. Using everywhere won’t go well.
The point of being edgy is just the point of good writing. If your articles don’t stand out, don’t invite participation – you won’t get people clicking through to your site from the bio links.
Study good writing, and the popular articles, and you’ll see the pattern you should be following. (And BTW, there are comments on the major article directories – if you’re looking for some high PR backlinks…)
