Article
By
Jeff Herring
You have heard about how much traffic, prospects, publicity
and profits article writing can produce. At the same time,
the thought of writing an article leaves you frozen.
Here
are 7 simple tips to get you started on your very first
article.
Tip
1 - Identify a specific niche within your area of expertise.
With
whom do you work? Who is your ideal client? This is an
important step because if you are not clear on who is
in your niche, you can't be clear on to whom you are writing
and marketing.
Tip
2 - Identify a specific pain or problem your niche experiences.
What
keeps people in your niche up at night? What do they worry
about? What problem would they most like solved?
Tip
3 - Make a list of 7 tips you could offer your ideal client
to help them with their problem.
Simply
write down 7 suggestions, tips, tools, or solutions that
speak to the specific pain.
Tip
4 - Pick one of these tips and add a few more lines of
information.
Explain
your tip, give an example, tell a story. Think of it as
adding some meat to the bone of your tip.
Tip
5 - Do this same thing for each of your six other tips.
Just
go down your list of tips and add some more information
for each of your tips.
Tip
6 - Write an introduction to your 7 tips.
You
want to write your introduction in a way that demonstrates
to the reader that you get it about their pain and problem.
Tip
7 - Write a conclusion to your 7 tips.
Wrap
it up. Make a clear statement about the benefits of using
your 7 tips.
There
you have it - your first article.
Bonus
tip - You can do this over and over again for more prospects,
publicity
