Writing tips


Most Important Rule:

 Please don't copy aricles from the web. We also know how the "copy" and "paste" keys work. you will not be paid to copy and paste other people's articles. If you can write your own artciles, you're welcome. If not, please don't try your luck as it takes only few minutes to find the original article with the help of search engines.

General Tips:
Keep your article length adequate i.e. not too long and not too short. It should be between 500-1000 words.

Employ numbers or bullets which makes it easier to read.

Don't try to cover every sphere of the topic about which you are writing. Be specific about subject and bound your mind to that subject only.

Content must be informative and useful. Provide examples. This will help readers understand your point. You can also provide real experiences so that your points are backed up.

People generally reads something if they find their problem's solution in it. So it's a good idea to start your article with their problems and ending with it's solution. Many people loves to read "How To" articles.

Try to organize your articles so that the paragraphs can be broken up very easily into sections under descriptive headings. This will make the reading experience much smoother and faster. Do not go with long paragraphs. The shorter the paragraphs the better the readers will be able to digest the information.

The article's title must be a "label" or summary of the content. The title of your article must also be interesting and grab some attention, and make the reader want to go further and read your article.
Address a focused and specific subject in your article.

Tips for titles:
It is clear that the most important words are the ones in the title. In fact, the title of an article can either attract or repel readers.

Here are two sets of headlines to analyze:

"Activities Kids Enjoy" OR "Give Your Kids A Summer To Remember"
"Make Staying Healthy A Priority" OR "5 Symptoms You Can't Ignore"

In each case, the titles refer to the same topic, but the second one conveys a benefit that the potential reader desires. They use the word "you" to make the appeal more personal. One appeals to a parent's desire to "give" to their children (emotional) and the other peaks curiosity and fear.

Chances are, you would choose to read the second article titles over the first ones.

Use numbers, such as "5 Steps to True Happiness" or "Five Ways To Earn Money Online" You don't have to limit number titles to list-style articles. Nearly any article can be broken up into a number of steps or reasons.

Create a play on words using a popular phrase. For example, an article about how to wash the outside of your second-floor windows might be titled "Don't Let Window Washing be a Pane in Your Neck."

Make your title a question: "Can You Really Make Money Online?"

Compare something to something else: "Why Apples are Just Like Oranges."

You can use these examples, just change the (example) with yours: "How To (Example)," "From (Example) to (Example)" or "Everything You Want to Know About (Example)."

Tips for keywords:

(keyword is "earn money" in this example, you can see here how we use the main keyword in the article)

Write a title for the article, using the keyword: "Five Ways To Earn Money Online." or "How to earn money online."

Write a description of one or two sentences, telling the reader what they will get from reading your article: "Do you know how to earn money online? You'll learn five of the best here!"

"Sell" the article in the first paragraph, using the keyword again: "I will show you the easiest ways to earn money online..."

Create a numbered list, and explain each entry with a couple sentences: "1. Write articles for Matrixmails! This is perhaps the best way to earn money. 2. Submit it for review..."

End the article with a short paragraph, using the keywords one more time: "You can see that it's very easy to earn money online by writing articles to Matrixmails, so why not try?".
