The problem I have when I write an article or report is that in my previous life I was a civil engineer where my reports had to be devoid of feelings or emotion.  The reports were pretty bland, factual and to the point.

There was no storytelling, no emotion and no psychology.  After all we were not trying to sell our brand or product.  And I can tell you that it is really difficult to undo years of ‘indoctrination’.

Lets face it when you are writing an article for your website or your blog you are selling emotions.  Yes, I know that most think that they are selling a product or service but if that is all you think you are doing you will land up with the same dry report or articles that I was talking about above – dry bland articles.

Articles need to be written to be read. It’s simply a matter of making them good. Making a good article does not need to be difficult and laborious. There are just a couple of points to be aware of, and some rules to follow. Once you master it, writing short articles could be fun, as well as rewarding for you and your site.

Obviously, you need to have some knowledge and understanding about the subject you are writing articles about.  After all your site needs to niche specific and because your site is niche specific you most probably know about that specific topic.

When you blog about it, you won’t have such a hard time of it because you understand the subject matter and what it is that people want to know. It’s simply a matter of making your posts imaginative and intriguing.  Intriguing is probably the wrong word here but you probably understand the psychological emotional triggers of the niche.

To ensure that your articles get read and that your readers enjoys reading them, here are six red hot pointers to getting your articles read. These suggestions will make your short articles readable and fascinating.

1) Use brief paragraphs.

When the paragraph are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader by simply taking a look at it.  It can get quite daunting and be too much of an effort to check out. The reader will just quickly glance through the paragraph and move on to reading articles that are look easier to read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, in some cases even a single word!

2) Utilize numbers or bullets.

As each point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can rapidly make the point easy to read and absorb. If each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet point or number, readers will know that this is where the ideas begins and broken down. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your article doesn’t appear as a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and style to your articles shape.

3) Utilize Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs in the page.

Doing this will break each point into sections while still integrating it into the post. It would likewise be simple for the reader to proceed from one point to another; the shift should be smooth and simple. You will never lose your readers attention as each sub-heading leads to where the paragraph is pointing.

4) Provide a great eye-catching title or header.

If your title can entice your readers’ curiosity you’re already halfway in getting them to read your article. Use statements and sentences that make use of keywords that the readers are looking for. Supply titles or headers that explain your articles content.  However, these should be short and concise.

Use titles like, “Tips on making her want you more”, or “How to make her swoon and blush”. You might likewise utilize titles that can command people, for example, “Make her yours in 6 simple Ways”. These types of titles reach out to a persons’ emotions and makes them interested.

5) Keep them interested from the start to the finish.

From your opening paragraph, use reality type scenarios that can be embraced by the reader. Use great descriptions and metaphors to drive home your point, simply don’t over do it. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it simple for them to envision what you are talking about. Making the experience satisfying and enjoyable for them.

6) Use figures when essential and not simply common and insipid statements.

Utilizing particular realities and figures can increase interest in your article since it makes it more authoritative. However, do not make it too formal, it ought to remain light and easy to read flowing from paragraph to paragraph. Like a friendly instructor having a little chat with an excited student.

And just have a conversation with your audience.  Talk to them as you would to friends or colleagues.
