In my Intro for this article I started with why. Why did I write this article.
First paragraph, what....What makes a Lobster Blue.
2nd Paragraph, where and added some data dredged from the web under one of my keywords.
3rd Paragraph, When...sort of. Dropped some historical perspective into the article
4th paragraph, Who....some folks messed with the Blue Lobster population
5th paragraph, How....less Lobster predation due to a loss in the Cod population
Conclusion
As I was creating my notes I organized the facts into groups. When I completed the groups I checked for an overall idea and used that for the main idea of the paragraph.
When all this was done I sat down and wrote the article.
Most of the work was already done. I just needed to fit the facts in a coherent manner and make a case for my main idea which was, Blue Lobsters aren't really more common we are just seeing more because there are more being caught.
I hope the process I go through to make an article was helpful for you.
If I have a subject that I don't need to research, I will still check for keywords to see what I can include in the body of the article to help it rank.
I find that putting the ideas down in an outline format helps the writing go much faster. I don't always stick with the outline but I use it for a guide.
