Planning your writing

Write a quick plan for your article. Although I sometimes write without a plan, I'm an experienced writer and it doesn't work for everyone. I advise that you just do a quick plan and write using an article template

Standard Article Template

Article Title (Including keyword)

Introductory Paragraph
3 - 5 sentences introducing topic
Include keyword.

Body of Article
3 or more paragraphs - each one dealing with a separate point

Summary
3 - 5 sentences summarizing (not repeating) the main points.

Sample Plan - Using Standard Article Template

Writing your article

This is one of the most common 'article templates' that writers use. There are further exmples in my tutorial - 4 Easy Article Writing Templates.

Once you have your plan - writing your article should be fairly easy. If you suddenly have some more ideas when you're writing - make a note of them and save them for another article!
