How to write an informative article

Being able to write informative articles will definitely pay off not only in the short term but also in the long term. The readers will be able to appreciate the information you have written in your articles by how you structure them and how your writing style complements the flow of the article. Writing articles with such consistency is the key to winning more readers and gaining authority in your chosen niche as an expert.

Here are some steps you can follow to maintain the quality of your informative articles.

• Brainstorm a topic you think you already know about. It could be a hobby, a career, etc. You can also find many resources of your chosen niche in forums, blogs, or websites dedicated to that niche. This will ensure you are comfortable explaining the articles in your own words so as to make the article sound natural.
• Make a title that is straight to the point but is also enticing for readers at the same time. Titles like “How to lose weight in 2 weeks” will usually work better than “Lose weight in 2 weeks.”
• Outline the informative article you wish to write before you start writing the introduction. Outlining helps expedite the whole process and helps you organize your thoughts. This will easily translate to an article that is easy to read and easy to understand. Note the basic outline of the article which is the introduction, body and conclusion.
• Write in your introduction what your topic is about and what your reader should expect to know by telling them the contents in your article.
• Shorten the sentences and make sure that paragraphs don’t get too long so as to consist of more than 5 lines of sentences. To do this you will have to get straight to the point and inform the readers the information they need to know. Most readers that encounter huge blocks of text will just get turned off and avoid reading the article.
• Outline the steps in your article if the article you are writing is a how-to article. You may have to use bullets or numbering for this to be effective.
• Write in your conclusion the summary of what your article is about, what your readers have finally learned after reading your article. Also, reinforce in their minds the message that you intend to tell the readers in the conclusion.
