Article Writing Tips – Keep your content original!
• Our last post here at Nurture Your Wealth was about Article Marketing, and how you can get easy, simple traffic from articles. That’s all fine and dandy if you have articles to post, but what happens when you reach writer’s block?
    First of all, I suggest you think about placing articles into two categories:
  1- Article is trying to sell something directly or indirectly.
  2- Article is a how to, trying to teach, informational.

   Once you can figure out which you are trying to right you need to think about ways to beat writer’s block. Not having any idea’s for content can be a huge issue and although we are talking about article marketing the same thing applies for blog posts and press releases. The first tip and the one that has influenced me the most is keep a pen and paper handy at all times. Anytime you think of a category, title, keyword, topic, and/or idea jot it down. I have about 82 ideas so far in one notebook on topics/keywords I would eventually like to touch upon, which at minimum is 82 days worth of blog posts for me.
    Now you may be thinking well that’s great, but I don’t have any ideas. Let’s go back to basics:
  1- Selling/Promoting something
  2- Teaching/How-to

• 1- Selling/Promoting Something
  The first thing you need to look at is what are you selling/promoting. That alone equals 1-2 paragraphs (100-250 words).
  Second, Who is selling it, what they stand for(vision & mission), and facts about the company. Another 1-2 paragraphs (100-250 words).
  Finally, Call to Action / Reasons to buy now, from you / Why they can’t live without it. 1 paragraph (short and to the point!).
• 2- Teaching / Informational / How-To
  Teaching/Informational is even easier.
  1- State topic, and briefly describe 3-5 main points (1 paragraph).
  2- Main Point 1 + describe
  3- Main Point 2 + describe
  4- Main Point 3 + describe
  5- Cite some helpful sources (3-5 links)
  6- Describe sources if needed
  7- Restate your original stuff / conclusion

  Your article is now 4-7 paragraphs long – and is ready to be published. It’s important to remember to use original content.
