Examples are like road maps; the writer provides them and the readers follow the directions. Have you ever read pages in books and wished the author had provided examples? Can you recall reading a few boring articles online that had no examples? I have.

You don’t necessarily have to fill your pages with an abundance of examples. Use them to drive home key points that connects with your audience.

Look at this scenario I made up.

For instance, did you know that you could learn to play guitar chords in 7 days? Here are the examples. If you use “Brown’s Basic Guitar Chords,” you’ll be playing basic chords in no time. The course cost $15.00 and comes with an easy step-by-step video that shows how to hold and play the basic chords. An instructor is not needed. You just pick up your guitar, put in the video and start playing chords. It’s that easy.

That’s how you provide examples. Next chapter:

Engaging content is a necessity in successful articles. When you provide useful content to your readers, you’re basically engaging them. You do this by being vivid, and by asking questions in your content. Another way to engage them is to tell them why they need the information or product you’re offering.

Highlight the benefits of using the product. If you have a personal experience with the product you’re writing or blogging about, tell them. Don’t assume that they know about your experience.

Avoid rambling by using unnecessary words, sentences or jargon that they may not be familiar with; say what’s only necessary to convey your message. Don’t say, “You know I was thinking to write about that more and more people are starting home businesses each day.” That’s an example of rambling. Instead, “Today, there are more people starting home businesses than ever before.”

Simply put, if you deliver the goods that you promised in your opening sentences,
your audience will benefit. Your readers will be satisfied and come back for more. That should be your goal. Next chapter:

Can you think of any other strategies to provide engaging content?

The title is considered one of the most important ingredients in an article.
Studies have shown that when an article has an interesting or unique title, people tend to click on the title to read and learn more.

How do you come up with great titles for a blog or articles? Where do you find great titles? These are very good questions. There are several ways to come up with great titles. Here are some examples of how to come up with engaging titles.

One of the easiest ways to come up with good titles is to read the headlines in the news-paper and listen to the news. Forums are also another great source for article title. These are just a few places to get ideas. You probably could think of some yourself.

Another option is to perform – keyword search on any popular search engines. I use Google Keyword Search Tool for my searches.
Here is a good example, type in the phrase “freelance writers” in Google Keyword Search tool; there are over 40,000 searches monthly on Google for that phrase.

Therefore, an article using that phrase is a good idea for a title.
What do you think?

Also, make your title a minimum of 2 words. Try to keep long titles under 15 words; It’s simply easier for people to remember. Your title should also contain important keyword(s). An example of a decent title could be “Freelance Writing Tips – 3 Ways to Get Paid Writing.”

Bonus Tip:

• Use clear and concise wording in titles; no tricks or gimmicks please.
For example, if your title is “Tips for Beginning Writers,” don’t fill the body of your article with information on how to sell Ebooks. Why? You didn’t promise that benefit in your title. Furthermore, you won’t build credibility this way. Next chapter:
