How to Write Powerful and Niche Relevant Articles in Less Than an Hour

What follows in this Article is a simple “Step-By-Step” formula for writing powerful niche relevant articles in less than 1 hour. It might take you a little while to get to grips with it, but once you've got the hang of it and got yourself over the learning curve, you will be able to produce keyword rich, search engine optimised articles at the drop of a hat. I say this from experience, because I used to be terrified about the thought of writing an article, but, once I understood and applied this formula, I found that they seem to come together quite easily now.

The benefits of writing articles far out-weigh the fear of having to write them, so when reading this article, keep an open mind and ensure you understand it thoroughly, if you have to read it more than once, then so be it.

Writing articles is very powerful and in my opinion, the best way to build trust and credibility with your brand, and within your niche. If people see you as an expert then your views and opinions (expressed through your articles) are seen as valuable pieces of information. So, without further ado, let’s go to Step 1.

Step 1. Targeting Your Audience.

The first thing you need to establish is which audience (target market) are you trying to reach. This is critical to the overall outcome of your article and what actions your reader/customer is to do next, once they’ve read your article. So, make sure you know who you want to target.

Step 2. Your Attention Grabbing “Headline”/"Title".

The "Headline" is probably the single most important step/part when it comes to writing your article because this is what’s used to “entice” your potential reader/customer in to read your article. Let’s use the “Headline” for this article as an example:

Notice how the main benefit you’ll receive from reading the article, is all contained within the title, this is an absolute MUST, as this is what you want to convey to your potential reader/customer.

Step 3. Explain Your Position Regarding the Article Topic.

This next step is where you Clearly and Completely introduce your article with a couple of sentences that explain your position on the topic contained within the “Headline” of your article. At this point make sure you don’t leave people hanging, but, at the same time, don’t hand them the keys to the store either. Give them the "sizzle" not the "steak" Take a look at how I started out this article as an example.

Step 4. List off the Main Points you Want to Cover.

This is where you list off your main BULLET points. You don’t have to come up with a lot… IT really depends on what you INTEND TO COVER.

Step 5. Elaborate on each point you wrote down.

After you’ve finished writing down your main bullet points, the next step is to elaborate on each of them with a couple of sentences.

Step 6. Finish With a Conclusion.

You’ve established who your target audience is, You’ve created your attention grabbing “Headline” to entice your readers, and you’ve bulleted and elaborated on your main points with a few sentences. Now… it’s time for the “Conclusion”, put simply, your “Conclusion” is your chance to tell your readers why this article is important and to get them to take action.

Step 7. Put Together a Compelling “Resource Box”.

Your “Resource Box” is where you put your copyright info and website contact information. There are many styles of resource box layout so, a good idea is to visit some article directories and have a look at other articles to see how others are putting their resource boxes together or have a look at mine at the end of this article, up to you.
