Many people don’t like the idea of writing. Some feel that it’s too much work that goes to naught when their articles are not read. One the other hand, there are people who don’t enjoy reading either. They think that reading is boring and tiring. Whatever other people think, if you desire to write, then write regardless. The internet is a big place; someone somewhere WILL read what you’ve labored to write. We all have something to say that is of value to someone else.

So how do you lure people to spend time on what you’ve written? Aside from how appealing it is, it has to be well-written. Coming up with a good article doesn't have to be arduous. You just need to be aware of some points that would be sensible to follow. Once you get used to it, writing could be fun, as well as lucrative for you and your site.

To start off, write about something you know, or have experienced first hand. It may also be about something you’ve investigated about at length. You may write about your opinions on a certain subject-matter, or your own experiences. Whatever the case may be, your article will flow better when you write about something you know something about to a certain level.

Here are some ways to make your articles better designed and easier to read:

  1. Paragraph length.

Would you agree that when presented with a very long paragraph, you tend to subconsciously forget whatever it is you’re reading? The rule is, if you can get to the point as soon as you can while being as unambiguous and brief as you can, then do so. Try not to get carried away with how good you can communicate yourself, unless you’re writing a book or a how-to article.

  1. Use bullets.

When you need to point out or stress some items, use bullets and numbers. Your readers will then effortlessly recognize each point as opposed to keeping it in a sentence or paragraph form. Make sure to indent your bullets to make them more distinct and noticeable.

  1. Use Sub-headings per point.

If you want to make more than a few points, use sub-headings to break each point into segments that will make it easy for your readers to jump from one point to the other. This will also help your readers recognize the path where your article is heading.

  1. Give your title some thought.

We always begin from the top when reading. At the top is the title. If the title is thought-provoking enough, your readers will want to continue on. Make use of statements and questions that make use of keywords that people are looking for. Make use of titles or headers that inform people what your article is about. You may use a how-to title such as "How to do PTC to make money from home" or a bold proclamation such as "Make money from home by doing pay-to-click!" Try to use titles that touch the emotions or speak to a need or want, to connect with your audience.

  1. Keep it stimulating.

Attempt to use your own experiences and narrate about real-life situations that your readers can relate to. Make proper use of figures of speech like similes to drive your point across. Infuse your story with wit if you can, and try to keep it light to make the reading experience pleasant without losing the heart of the article.

  1. State facts and statistics when applicable.

Using facts and figures can amplify your article because it makes it convincing. Make certain to say where you got the information and give credit where it’s due. This will further bolster your credibility and give your article that measure of authority that readers will respect.

  1. Give them what they want.

True, I said at the beginning that someone, somewhere will read your articles, as long as you write them. That remains to be true. However, if you want your writing to reach a wider audience, write about a popular topic. Research by going to forums, observe what's going on in social networks, etc. Find something that connects to you in some way, then put a spin on it by applying your own style.
