Welcome to the sixth installment of my newsletter.
Here's your second "lesson" on how to write
an article without too much (if any) stress.
Last time we talked about freewriting. I hope
you've done it a few times and liked the results.
But like with so many things, different things
work for different people. So I'm going to give
you a few more techniques.
The first one for today is mindmapping or
clustering.
You put your topic in the middle. Let's say
"article writing." Then, put a circle around
it and draw lines from it in all directions.
It'll look a bit like a spider or a daddy longlegs.
On each of those, write subtopics:
Money with articles. Traffic. Connect with
audience. Develop visibility. Develop
expert image,
Well, that's six. That'll do for now.
You could take the above and subdivide them
further. For example, you could put another
circle around "money with articles" and
draw more lines from that circle, and fill
up those lines:
affiliate marketing, adsense, collect
articles into ebook and sell, etc.
You see how this works?
Once you have your 6 or 7 topics,
just start writing about each of them.
All it'll take is organize them a bit,
then write a couple of sentences for
each, and your article is done.
Is that cool or what?
Let's leave it at that for today.
Give it a try and see what you come
up with!
Next time, we'll write about the more
traditional "outline etc." approach.
By the way, one last thing: These articles
don't have to be masterpieces nor do they
have to be very long. Ezinearticles.com
accepts articles starting at 250 words!
Personally, I like to aim for 500 words,
because I like to publish them in other
directories too, and some of them have
500 words as their minimum.
Still, for now, 250 words will do!
So go ahead and have fun with this.
Till next time,
Be well,
Elisabeth
