\"4<\/a><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re a professional writer or not we all draw a blank when we want to write a great article.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve found an answer to that dilemma that will get you writing in no time so that you can publish your article and begin to receive that new wave of subscribers you\u2019ve been hoping for. Here are the 4 steps to follow.<\/p>\n

1. Write your action steps first.<\/p>\n

Forget about the catchy headline and attractive lead paragraph for now. There\u2019s no use in cleverly leading a reader into an article that has no real value to them. So start where you build your credibility, right in the action steps. Of course you want to identify your subject and then tell them how to make their lives easier. For instance, plumbers are always going to have to fix pipes, it\u2019s the nature of their business.
\n2. Save the best for last.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something called takeaway or take-home that should be in every one of your articles. It\u2019s your last chance to tell your audience, \u201cI know my stuff.\u201d Try to put that key piece of information in the last paragraph of your article and you\u2019ll want it to be something your reader can do as soon as he or she finishes reading your article. If you\u2019re writing to accounts payable clerks, you\u2019d tell them ways to get each department to get approvals on all purchase orders before submitting them. A\/P clerks would just eat that up. It\u2019s their number one gripe. Bottom line: Give your audience something they can do immediately at the very end of your article. They\u2019ll remember your name and become devotees for life-hanging from your every word.<\/p>\n

3. Get excited about the benefits.<\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve taken care of the credibility building portion of your article, you have to draw the reader in and whet their appetite for all this great information. By the way, if you write the action steps and take-home first, this part will be easier because you\u2019ll be so excited about the information you\u2019ll see the benefits of it. And that\u2019s what writing lead paragraphs and headlines is all about: benefits to your readers.<\/p>\n

4. Your final take-home advice
\nNo matter what you do, when you\u2019re writing to an online audience, always include an \u201cAbout the Author\u201d blurb (some call this a sig file, short for signature file) and a plug for anything new you\u2019re into. To do this, determine what you want the reader to do after he or she is finished reading. Do you want the to subscribe to your ezine? Buy your new ebook? Or just visit or site? Whatever the benefit to you is, identify it before you write your \u201cAbout the Author\u201d section. And you can write this at any time because it\u2019s separate from the article and you can use the same \u201cAbout the Author\u201d blurb for multiple articles. As a matter of fact, you could write one right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
