Sharp Stick in The Eye? Not With These Article Writing Ideas!
One of the biggest hurdles that writers face when they need to write a lot of articles is how to come up with newer and fresher content. The best way is to brainstorm and come up with different ideas. But since that can get you to the point of wanting a sharp stick pushed in to your eye, here are some simple tips that might help you decide the subject of your next articles quicker.
To start with, you need to decide what type of an article you would want to write. In general there are four categories:
The List Article
The most common type of article found on the internet it is the easiest to write as well. All it needs is putting together a bunch of associated information. Examples of such type of articles can be:
“Three Ways to Change Your Readers’ Perception of You ”
“Four Deadly E-Book Mistakes”
“Three Reasons To Get Into Internet Marketing”
These types of articles have three essential parts
1. An introduction
2. Short paragraphs of minimum 2 lines describing the various objects that your article addresses.
3. A short conclusion.
The “How to” Article
This is the most interesting type of article as it describes how to make something new. Everyone likes to experiment once in a while, don’t they? These kinds of articles are generally of the form
“How To Write An Ebook”
“How Not to Become a Phishing Accessory”
“New Computer – Old Email, or How to Back up and Transfer Your Email” etc.
Just a quick plug; these are all titles of articles that I have written and you can find at EzineArticles.com
The Review Article:
What would you do if you were a golfer and you just bought the latest putter that hit the market, and all of a sudden, you are sinking everything? From 5 footers to 25 footers and you can’t miss the cup. Now, there are some that would buy it just because it’s made by (insert your favorite club brand here), but there are more that would want to get a second opinion, or some sort of review. People are looking for other opinions all the time. In this way the popularity of review articles does not come as a surprise.
The essential issues that need to be touched upon by review articles are:
The USP (unique selling point) of the product. What results does it promise.
How much of that claim does it fulfill.
Are the benefits worth the cost; and if so, who can be the prospective buyers to benefit from this.
Make sure that whatever way you choose for writing review articles you adhere to these three guidelines.
The Round Up Article
This is also a simple kind of article writing. All you need to do is to consult various sources or experts and provide an overview of a situation. This is kind of a general deduction made on the basis of certain given parameters – like general remarks, facts, arguments and judgements. It’s kind of a rounding up piece.
For example:
Now that you know about the various types of articles, you can channel your creativity in a proper course. Diversify your literary skills in exploring issues that are not exactly mundane or commonplace.
Speaking of articles and what kind to write; my friend Doug Champigny has just released another niche plr package. This one is dealing with three very popular topics. Best of all, Doug has gone above and beyond and has included:
- PLR ebook,
- Professional salespage and download page

Nice ideas Ron!
I think the one I like best is the “list article”, because lists make it so easy for me to get an article written. If you have 3-5 items to cover, you can easily write a 400 word article. If you have many topics to cover, then you can split them up into many separate articles, making your content go a lot further.

Some great article writing tips Ron. Writing can sometimes be a chore for some people. I know I was like that and still from time to time have trouble coming up with something new. Those ideas of yours are a nice template on what type of articles you can do. Will try to remember them when I get stuck.

Ron, a great set of tips for writing articles. I’ve used the first 2 quite a bit. Have not tried the round-up type of article. I have used the review article a time or two. Like Fred, I’m way behind where I need to be with article marketing. Thanks for these tips.
Nice list of types of articles. I always fall back on the list myself when nothing else works.

Great post, Ron! Article marketing is one of the main secrets to long-term success as an affiliate marketer too, especially those who use the Review and List style of articles to promote great products.
But just so you know, if I find a putter that lets me sink everything, I’m not telling you or anyone else about it – especially not broadcasting it in an article!
