If you can write content for your web site, you can write an article. If your hired writer can write content for your web site, you can hire them to write your article, and have them give you the rights to it, just like they do with your site. Just turn this information over to them when you’ve got the rough outline.
The fastest way to write an article is to write a top ten. If your article solves a problem, it can be a how-to “How to Find the Rarest Britney Spears posters”:. If your article shows easier ways to do something, it can be “the top ten ways to…”The Top Ten Ways to Use The Fame of Britney Spears to Enhance Your Business”. Or, If it is one of those “there should be a book about” you can make it a ten steps – “Ten Steps to Get Your Kids to Stop Listening to Britney Spears”.
Take that idea and go to TopTen.org and scroll down to Create A Nugget, which will take you to this page.Select the top ten list and you’ll come to a page that gives you a really easy template for creating your article.
If you don’t have ten steps, you can use five, or eight, it doesn’t matter (unless you’re going to submit to topten.org).
Easy, right? But don’t submit your article yet. We need to work on your resource box, and set up the landing page at your site. I’ll have the next tip ready in just a second.
