Research! The first thing you should do is do some research.
You should know what kind of article you want to publish, what impact you want to achieve, how long it will take, and what kind of audience you will be targeting. You need to have an understanding of the basics of how to write an article. This will save you time and money and help you to write with confidence.
Research is the absolute best thing you can do before writing. Depending on what your topic is, it can take up to half a day to research a topic, especially if you are trying to write about a wide variety of topics. The best way to learn everything you need to know about how to write is to read other successful writers, journos, marketers and business owners.
Spend a lot of time watching what they do and try to model their approach. Use examples from your industry to see how you can apply things to your product or services. Look at successful writers and find out what they do to get the results they want.
Once you have done the research, it is time to start planning. If you are targeting a local audience, then you need to come up with a unique selling story. Your article needs to tell the story so that you will be memorable to your reader. You should think about what kind of experiences your readers might have had with you and how you can impact their situation and help solve their problems.
You should think about why your readers will remember your story over others. One example of this is how you can use interviews and testimonials. A good testimonial interview can be genuine and believable. You can also use a video or picture to reinforce the story. A great tip is to provide some links to some of the testimonials that people have left.
When you are starting, remember that it takes more than just words to make a good article. It takes a plan to get started and you need to know how to create a plan before you ever begin. Keep these 5 basic copywriting rules in mind and you will soon be on your way to increasing your sales and profits.
