There are many effective articles published that doesn’t contain conclusions.
However, while conclusions may not be popular in many blogs or articles, it’s still a useful tool to use in some content. If your article contains over 300 words, you should consider using a conclusion. On the other hand, if you wrote a short article of about 100 words or less, a conclusion may not be necessary.

Your conclusion could just be a summary of a blog or article you wrote.
You accomplish this by telling the readers what the article/blog is about in a few sentences. You could also say a conclusion simply sums up the whole story in a few sentences.

By the way, have you read “Tips For Beginning Writers?” It’s the first tip in this series. You can read it here.

You be the judge. Do you think conclusions are necessary at all times?

What’s the last thing you should do before you upload your articles to your own website or an article directory? Why should you spell check? These are good questions. This post will answer these questions.

Beginning writers often make the mistake of editing while writing. This habit should be avoided. When you constantly edit while you write, you break up your thoughts. No matter how trivial the information is, make your writing flow naturally. In the end, you’ll just have more words to edit. Hey, you may have to get rid of some words too.

Spell check and edit is crucial to your credibility. When your article is filled with many grammatical errors, your audience is often turned off – A writer should also know the difference between there and their. I’ve seen many well-written articles with errors that made me say, huh!
Do yourself and your loyal readers a favor, spell check and edit before you publish.

How do you spell check?
Many popular writing software comes with built in spell checker.
If you’re using Microsoft word 2003, go to tools and select spelling and grammar.
Another way to spell check is to hit the F7 key on your keyboard.
If you’re using Microsoft Word 2007, click the review button on the top in the middle section of word. Move your mouse to the extreme top left hand side, click spelling. It’s that simple. Next chapter:

Conclusion is the last tip in this series. You can read it here.

An outline is like a road map. You use it to guide you on the right path. Think about a path when you think of an outline; this will get you in the right frame of mind. In a nut-shell, by creating an outline, it helps you to organize your thoughts and ideas when writing.

Here’s an example of a good outline. Someone hired you as a Ghost Writer; your assignment is to write a 300-word article on the history of Reggae Music.

Your outline could look like this.

Origination of Reggae What country was Reggae originated from? You could write a few sentences by answering the first question and elaborate on it. You could include the year Reggae music was created? Talk also about the first Reggae song that was recorded and which artist recorded it. Mention a few names of the artist that started it all.

Pioneers of Reggae This part you introduce the names of Reggae pioneers. Highlight today’s influences of this genre of music. Here you could talk about the achievements of Reggae pioneers like Bob Marley and the Wailers, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer and others. You could also emphasize their contributions to this genre of music.

Direction of Reggae Today Discuss to technologies available to Reggae musicians today that was not available in the past. How the style has changed compared to the style in the early days. Point out what types of other music were influenced by Reggae. Next chapter:

Can you add anything else to this post?

The best way for beginning writers to approach article writing is to do research. Even if you believe that you have sufficient information and knowledge about the topic, you should still do some research? Why? You’d be amazed at how many different ways you could approach a topic. When you research and read what other people write, you get a deeper and better understanding of your topic; fresh ideas are formulated.

For instance, after doing a little research on a topic you may discover that you could make certain points clearer by changing a few words or ideas on a page. Next chapter:

Obtain ideas on how to choose keywords for your article here.

What do you think readers? Do you have anything to add to this post?

Do you know how to find the best keywords for your article? Do you know how to use them in your content? In order for people to find your articles on the Internet, they either type in a single word or a phrase to search.

To maximize results from your articles, make sure the keywords you choose, are words or phrases that people search for daily.

Keyword Tool As a beginner, there’s no need to purchase any keyword software at this time. There are several free Keyword tools available online to help you find the right keywords for your content.

You can try any one of these free keyword search tools.

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com.

I prefer to use the Google Keyword search tool.

How do I use the keywords? Look at this example. I used the word “soccer.” According to Google, “soccer” is searched for over 30,000,000 times per month. That’s a lot of search times. Do you agree? I also found some more keyword suggestion phrases; they are related to soccer and searched for over 1000 times per month. I’ll save these words as a keyword list to use in the article.

You could now target your article in this direction. Example, your article could be about where to find the best prices on soccer gears; you could now include keyword phrases from your keyword list. Your keyword phrases would be soccer protective gear, soccer net, soccer bag, and soccer ball in your article. Once you have these keywords, just sprinkle them throughout your article.

I hope you find how to choose keywords helpful. Next chapter:

Learn how to write attention grabbing sentences.

Don’t overuse your keywords; if you do, search engines may see your page as spam.

Great opening sentences are like magnet; they pull the readers  in. The reader becomes interested, curious and eager to know more. That’s the power of attention grabbing sentences.

One of the most effective ways to attract readers in opening sentences is to tell them what you are going to tell them. Many skilled writers use this strategy because it works.

Why do you need to write attention-grabbing sentences? You need great opening sentences if your business depends on traffic and readership to make money. If you make your introduction or opening sentences compelling, you hook the readers.

Here’s an example. Let’s say you’re selling an Ebook on how to make money with vending machines. You could start out by saying, did you know that you could make up to $980.00 monthly with only 5 vending machines? In this Ebook, you’ll discover the 5 Secrets needed to run your own successful vending business.” This Ebook also comes with money back guarantee within 60 days of purchase. If you can’t make any money with this Ebook, your money will be refunded. No questions asked.

How enticing were those opening sentences?

Also, if you depend on Google AdSense, Kontera Ads or any other monetization strategies to make money from your website, you need great opening sentences to get people interested in your content. The more readers you have the more likely they’ll click on those ads. When visitors click on some ads you generate income. Next chapter:

Are you ready to learn how to engage your readers? Read this Post.

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:

Don’t forget to Spell Check your work. Check out these Spell Check tips here.

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:
