Five Important Article Writing Tips

Are you new to the article writing business? Then you might have been having some difficulties as to how you can break into the upper levels of the market. You are surely in need of articles writing tips that will make you write very fast and well. The fact is that there are no schools that teach article writing. Those who have made it to the top have relied, for the most part, on tips they received from established writers. This piece will give you five of those article writing tips.

Content is key

This is the first and most important of all article writing tips. Keep this in mind all the time. If you want to succeed, then you must pay attention to the content of your articles. If you don’t have the requisite knowledge of the topic, there are two things you can do. Either you don’t write on it at all, or research and get the information before you write. Don’t feed people with your ignorance. You will not be forgiven for that.

Give a good title to your article

The next article writing tip is about the way you title your articles. The title is what draws your readers to your writing. If the title is good, people will read. Bad repulsive titles will ruin your articles. Just imagine food covered with a dirty rag. No matter how good that food is, nobody will be willing to eat it. That is how a bad title will affect your good article. The title should be catchy and simple. It should be straight to the point. Don’t use idioms in your title.

Break your article up into small paragraphs

All professional article writers are aware of this. Don’t write articles that are made of only one or two paragraphs. The paragraphs should be small and should have, as much as possible, their own subheadings. The paragraph should be about only one idea. Don’t provide unnecessary information to make your paragraphs very long. Keep them short.

Use keywords properly

This is another important article writing tip. All articles are about certain keywords. If you want a great article, the keyword should appear in the articles enough. Don’t use the keyword too much; and don’t avoid using them all together. At least your keyword should appear once in every 100 words.

Edit and proofread your articles

This is the last article writing tips I want to talk about here. Don’t be in a hurry to post your articles. You must take time and correct your mistakes. Don’t think you will not make mistakes. We all do.

Good luck in your writing career.

Writing for Social Scientists: How to Start and Finish Your Thesis, Book, or Article $3.95 Social scientists, whether earnest graduate students or tenured faculty members, clearly know the rules that govern good writing. But for some reason they choose to ignore those guidelines and churn out turgid, pompous, and obscure prose. Distinguished sociologist Howard S. Becker, true to his calling, looks for an explanation for this bizarre behavior not in the psyches of his colleagues but in the structure of his profession. In this highly personal and inspirational volume he considers academic writing as a social activity. Both the means and the reasons for writing a thesis or article or book are socially structured by the organization of graduate study, the requirements for publication, and the conditions for promotion, and the pressures arising from these situations create the writing style so often lampooned and lamented. Drawing on his thirty-five years’ experience as a researcher, writer, and teacher, Becker exposes the foibles of the academic profession to the light of sociological analysis and gentle humor. He also offers eminently useful suggestions for ways to make social scientists better and more productive writers. Among the topics discussed are how to overcome the paralyzing fears of chaos and ridicule that lead to writer’s block; how to rewrite and revise, again and again; how to adopt a persona compatible with lucid prose; how to deal with that academic bugaboo, "the literature." There is also a chapter by Pamela Richards on the personal and professional risks involved in scholarly writing. In recounting his own trials and errors Becker offers his readers not a model to be slavishly imitated but an example to inspire. Throughout, his focus is on the elusivework habits that contribute to good writing, not the more easily learned rules of grammar and punctuation. Although his examples are drawn from sociological literature, his conclusions apply to all fields of social science, and indeed to all areas of scholarly endeavor. The message is clear: you don’t have to write like a social scientist to be one.
