3) Use short paragraphs. Long paragraphs are difficult to read on a computer monitor. Use spacing between each paragraph.  When possible, use justified text alignment.  Keep lots of clean space on the page to make it easier to read.

4) Make use of numbers or bullets.  Use indentations to format bullets and numbers so that the points stand out. This helps maintain clean space while adding interest to the shape of the text on the page.

5) Try using sub-headings to divide your paragraphs in the page.  Doing this helps the reader break each section into points while maintaining the cohesiveness of the article. It also makes it easy for the reader to review the main points of the article. Additionally, it provides direction and flow to your article.

6) Add visual appeal by creating text charts and graphs.  When reasonable, use concrete numbers and state sources of information.  Use these items sparingly to achieve the greatest impact.  Remember to keep the article readable!

Truly unique content comes from writing your own reports and articles. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles can be fun as well as profitable.

So how do you write a good article? Write articles on topics you are knowledgeable in that are relevant to the product or service you are marketing.  Then use these tips to make your articles creative and interesting.

1) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title makes someone curious they are likely to read the article. Use statements and questions that utilize relevant keywords.  Titles or headers should describe your articles content but should also be short and concise.

2) Keep them interested from the start to the finish. Engage the reader by asking them questions.  Use good descriptions and metaphors to make it easy for the reader to see what you are saying. Make the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.
