1) Use short paragraphs. When the paragraphs are too long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader just looking at it can get quite confusing and too much work to read. The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move to a much easier reading article that is good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!

2) Make use of numbers or bullets. As each point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to remember and digest. As each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet or point, readers will know that this is where the tips start. Format your bullets and numbers with indentations so that your article won’t look like a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and pizazz to your articles shape.

3) Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs on the page. Doing this will break each point into sections but still be incorporated into one whole article. It will also be easier for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition would be smooth. You will never lose your readers attention as well as the point and direction your article is providing.

4) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title can entice a person’s curiosity you’re already halfway to getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content, but they should also be short and concise.

Use titles like, “Tips on Making Your Kids Listen”, or “How to Make Her Want You More” .You could also use titles that can command people, for example, “Increase Your Confidence in Six Easy Steps”. These types of titles reach out to persons’ emotions and make them interested.

5) Keep them interested from the start to the finish. From your opening paragraph, use real life situations that can be adopted by the reader. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive your point home, just don’t over do it. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. Making the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.

6) Utilize figures when necessary and not just ordinary and insipid statements. Using specific facts and figures can heighten your article because it makes it authoritative. But do not make it too formal, it should be light easy to read and flow for the reader. Think of it as a friendly teacher her having a little chat with an eager student.

Practice your writing skills and have your articles reviewed when you can. Listen to the feedback you receive on how the reader enjoyed your article and keep writing.
