Article Writing Success: Are Your Articles Being Ignored? Here's How To Fix It!

Are your articles not getting opened?

Do you want to know how to get your articles read and how to get click thrus from readers?

Well there's a knack to it!

It's all in how you set up your article! Once you start doing it right those click thrus will really start to click!

Here's what you do…

1. You must have a great title:

Getting your articles opened is all about the title. A great title will grab your visitor's attention and they'll click your article to see what's inside. A great title grabs their interest-it tells the reader what they can learn in the article, and it also arouses curiosity.

So what is a great title?

Great titles have clarity and directness. They stand up and yell "action". They don't waffle around. They ask a question…they promise a great outcome…they make a call to action. They say: "Open "me" and your problems will be solved."!

Visit a few of the article directories and look at their "most read articles" page. There's a striking difference in the directness and clarity of these titles versus articles in general.

2. You must have a great opening paragraph:

Your first sentence or set of sentences must be just as powerful as your title. You can't afford to disappoint your reader. Tell them what they're going to get from your article and why this will be a benefit to them.

If you don't do this your reader will feel let down…you haven't provided what you promised… they'll click away and look somewhere else.

3. You must continue to hold your readers' attention: After the promise of the title and the opening paragraph you must continue to hold your readers' attention. You must now fulfill their expectations. Your information must be concise, informative and to the point.

Give your reader useful information; information that can be immediately put into action. Your purpose is wherever possible to provide information that will make a positive change in your readers life. You don't need to teach them everything about the topic… that's probably a life times work. One article of a few hundred words can't accomplish this.

But, whatever you write…make it count. Don't just throw up an article to get another one in the mill. People will come to expect quality if that's what you provide and they'll continue to look for your articles and be excited to read them.

4. Place a compelling call to action in your bio:

At the end of the article you must place a compelling call to action. You can also refer them to your link from the body of your article; something like: "for more info click my link below".

Don't just put your name and accomplishments and a link in your bio… include a call to action. Tell the reader to click through to your site for more information on the topic. Tell them the benefits they can receive from your site. Then add the link to your site. After that, put your bio information--and your link again, or another if
