Tips for writing a good article

1. Deciding the topic: The first and the foremost thing in article writing is to finalize the topic for the article. Make sure that the topic you choose should be the one that you think you are thorough with or something that you like to discuss with others. Remember article writing requires a lot of creativity, concentration, and dedication.
But in case the topic is fixed and you don't have a choice make sure to become familiar with the topic by reading and collecting information from various sources. Once you will have the knowledge/information, writing about that particular topic will not at all be a difficult task.

2. Planning what to write: Article writer should be very empathetic; to become popular in this field you will have to learn to understand the view point of your client. Try to understand what kind of information your reader wants, what is his motive behind reading your article and will your article be able to fulfill that motive/need?
While planning, jot down some keywords that the reader(s) will look for while reading your article and if it's web article and some specific keywords are given to you remember to use those keywords as it will improve the ranking of your article.

3. Deciding the length of the article: If there is a set parameter regarding the length of the article i.e. word limit than stick to it. If there is no such specification, than initially, do not worry about the length of the article, let your thoughts flow and write the relevant information that comes to your mind. Focusing too much on the article length at this stage will hamper your creativity.

4. Give shape to your thoughts (create an outline): At this stage you know what exactly you want to convey through your article. You should start with giving a very impressive introduction that will give reader the complete idea about what he/she is goingto read further. It is the introduction that will encourage the reader to read till the end, so spend quality time in drafting the introduction for your article.

The body of your article should completely focus on the problem/situation under discussion and must give the relevant information about the topic as well as solution to the problem.
The conclusion should summarize the key points and the result drawn from the discussion.
The language in which the article is to be written should be informal.

5. Formatting the article: Once you have written the article you must make sure that there are no spelling or grammatical mistakes. Read each and every word very carefully after all it's about your image as a writer.

6. Revise your article: There is a saying that "it's human to make mistakes" but for a writer a single mistake can lead to serious repercussions. So revise your article and be confident about it.
