Article Writing Pointers

Obviously if you want to succeed in article marketing your article must be read. So it’s best to write about hot button issues. It's what I've done to get my articles posted on hundreds of sites.

Now if you're an expert in the field you'll know the hot button issues.

If not, here’s some article writing pointers. That will help you unearth the hot buttons yourself.

First, let’s remove that bone stuck in your head that make you feel just because you don’t have a lot of experience you can’t write an article.

Renowned marketer Dan Kennedy tells the story that he got so good at marketing for Chiropractors that many in the audience thought he was one.

Huh! In other words you might call this is the "Fake It til You Make It" approach! Or at least until you, like Dan, feel comfortable in your "expertness"!

Besides you can bet he didn’t start out that way!

So if you’re not a so called expert (yet) here's what to do to come up with hot button issues.

Hang out around online forums where members of your target market gather.

Note what’s being asked. Pay special attention to issues that come up again and again. You’ll find plenty.

In no time you’ll recognize the common problems those in the market are having. Especially newbies.

Harvest the answers. When you see a similar solution suggested repeatedly - that tells you it must work.

Rewrite the ideas in your own words. Don’t be afraid to put your personality into it.

Viola. Nearly instant article.

Oh and the tried and true article format is simple:

Intro: Tell ‘em what you’re gonna tell ‘em (i.e. how to solve a pressing problem)
Body: Tell ‘em (usually cover three or four points or solutions)
Conclusion: Tell ‘em what you told ‘em.

See? Nothing to it!

Even better smaller niches are wide open. That right I see so few articles in many areas that are ripe for the picking. For everything from wood working to auto repair to gardening to hunting.

So get writing. And in no time you too will be the famous person no one has ever heard of. Except those in your target niche. Who will line up to buy what you’re selling. Since you’re THE expert. Or the guy or gal to know and deal with.
