The first task you need to accomplish when writing your article is choosing the topic. Carefully consider what you want to write your article about. This is the primary factor that will draw readers to want to read your article-or it can keep them away.

First, you need to choose a topic you are familiar with. Within your article, you want to be considered the expert. By choosing a topic you are familiar with or even specialize in, you can show that you are knowledgeable and trusted. People like to put their trust in those who are experts.

Next, narrow your topic. If the subject matter of your article is too broad, you may find it difficult to limit yourself on size. For the purpose of article writing, you want to keep your length to about 500 words. So instead of writing about how to market your business online, write about how to use articles to market your business online. If you want to write about other related topics, write a series of articles. However, if your topic is too narrow, you may be starving for information. Find a niche that has enough information to share for a market that is hungry for that information. Just make sure to provide great value so you can build a reputation as an expert who provides useful information.

Find out what is needed from your target audience. Ask yourself or others what they want to know. What problems exist in your niche market that you have answers for? Usually by discovering the problems and challenges that need solutions, you'll find what knowledge is lacking for your audience. When you can identify what is lacking, you can create the answer and receive the appreciation of others. Wrinkle creams sell because people want to get rid of wrinkles. What information can you offer the world that they will be grateful to you for?

Make sure you do your research combined with your existing knowledge! You are the expert, and you want the world to know. You want readers to know you can be trusted to convey accurate information. By doing this, readers will come back to you for more information and share it with their friends and colleagues.

Choose a topic that promotes you, your knowledge, and your business. Offer your expertise to others and build a list of loyal followers.
