How to write great articles?
Topic Selection
Before you write an article, consider the subject matter and audience. Ask yourself a few simple questions. Are you covering something with mass appeal? Or is it targeted to a more focused number of people? Is your topic seasonal or newsworthy? What’s the lifespan of your article? Will your topic be outdated by next spring? Obviously, you can’t expect every article you write to “speak to” millions of people. But by tailoring your approach to reach the most people possible, while keeping your content evergreen, you’ll increase its overall value. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t write on the World Series, but it’s probably not a good idea to write on this year’s World Series.
Article Length
The ideal article has from 400 to 600 words including the title, introduction, steps and tips and warnings. There may be cases where this word limit does not apply and articles will be shorter or longer, but a majority of well researched articles on the site fall in this range. Length can be lethal online…
Spelling and Grammar
eHow’s user-friendly article submission form comes with an automatic spell checker. Use it. Always keep in mind the importance of quality writing. You don’t have to be Hemingway with your prose, but attention to detail is critical to getting your point across and communicating your instructions clearly to the reader. Keep a dictionary by your side, and try to get a friend or colleague to take a look at your work when you’re finished.
Adding Photos
While the written instruction you have to offer is valuable, the demands of the average Internet user are becoming more diverse. With eHow’s writer form allowing easy upload of high resolution images, you can help your cause by quickly adding visual aids where possible. Recent site research has revealed that articles with images perform, on average, better than articles without them.
Suffering from Writer’s Block?
eHow features a special section called Top Requested Articles, where users suggest and rate topics that they would like to see covered in a How To article. The more people who rate the articles, the more points they’re worth, reflecting higher demand for the article. Check the Top Requested Articles list frequently. If you can write on one of the topics on the list, you have a pre-qualified audience.
