Usually, the first thing I do is decide what type of article I will write. Generally speaking, my list of "style of articles" look like this:
- General- Articles that cover the basis of a topic; The who, what, where, when , why and how.
- How to- Articles that are tutorial-style.
- Review style- Articles that review something.
- Benefits- Articles that explain and discuss the benefits of the topic.
- Tips/advice- Articles that provide advice and tips.
- Questions & answers- Articles that alternate between questions and answers. For example, I'd write a question and below it will be the answer.
- Dos & dont's- Articles that tell people what to do and what they shouldn't do
- Versus types of articles- Articles that compare something (products, services etc. . .)
That being said, you should decide what style or angle you want to go with your article.

That's a nice system you got going on. I sort of do the same thing but usually spend to much time on the research. Great advice and thanks for the great tips.
