How to Write Articles for the Internet

Many people enjoy writing but are reluctant to write for the Internet because they are unclear on the basics. Actually, a decent word processor and an Internet connection are all that you really need. Almost any topic that you chose to write about will find some sort of market on the Internet. Of course, some topics will attract thousands of readers while others will find just a few. The only way to find out is to write a few articles and submit them to the article submission sites. Over time, if you write and submit your articles on a regular basis, you may gather an audience that anxiously awaits your work.

Most articles written for the Internet contain about 500 words. Many submission sites will not accept articles of less than 350 words. Ideally, your article should contain 400 to 600 words. But keep in mind that there are no hard and fast rules. If your perfect article only has 278 words, try submitting it to a number of sites, the worst they can do is say no.

I like to start out with a working title. It is probably not the title I will use on the finished article, but it keeps me focused while I'm writing. Don't spend a lot of time on your working title, it is only temporary.

In the first paragraph, give some sort of introduction to the material you are writing about. There are a number of ways that you can start your article. You can write about a problem that your article solves. You can discuss why it is important that people read your article. Or you can tell your readers about your experience and what makes you qualified to write this piece.

Try to craft your first paragraph so that it entices the viewers to read further. That's the true test of a good first paragraph; it must intrigue your readers. If you can do this, half your battle is won.

The body of your article will consist of between two to ten paragraphs. Each paragraph will provide information on one fact, or item of information. Don't think you need to stuff every bit of information in there; people don't want to read a novel on the Internet.

Close out your information in the final paragraph. Tell them how their lives will be better by following the steps you've outlined above.

We're almost done. Now you're going to change your working title to a permanent one. The title is the most important part of your work. It is the advertising that will entice people to read your article. If you search for information at an article site, they list only the titles relevant to your search. It is important that your title be compelling. Design a title that entices people to read your work.

Your final step is to use a spelling and grammar checker on your work. After you've done that, carefully read your article for mistakes. A spelling checker will indicate that he word "cane" is correctly spelled, even though you intended to use the word "can". Only a careful, slow reading will catch this type of mistake.

Now you have all the information you need on writing articles. What are you waiting for? Start writing!
