Article Writing and Rewriting

Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Being a training development officer for almost a month now gives me a lot of chance to learn many things with regards to search engine optimization. It also allows me to learn tips on how to train my trainees to become a good writer. Being in an outsourcing business, I am very much expose to online marketing. In this post, I will be giving simple pointers on how to write effectively on the Internet.

To become a good writer you don't have to be a graduate of any English related course . A writer can be a graduate of any courses as long as he or she can write the English language very well. It's not really hard to become an expert writer, you only need to follow several pointers and then you're good to go.

If you are a writer working in an outsourcing company you must be an expert in persuasive style of writing. Persuasive writing is convincing the readers to buy the products you are promoting. You must turn the readers into buyers or consumers. Article that belongs to persuasive style of writing must have the following structures:
  • Correct grammar and good organization of ideas
  • A detailed description of the product you are promoting
  • A compound list of advantages and disadvantages of using the product
  • A brief recommendation to avail the product or not
If you are content writer, you must be familiar with the the importance of keywords. You must know how to use different keyword research tools for you to be able to use the correct keywords in your articles. In using keywords, you must also follow some rules and regulation so that your articles will not be consider as a spam.

Keywords should be found in the following parts of the article
  • Title of the article
  • First paragraph of the article
  • Middle of the article's body
  • It also be the anchor text in the link of author's resource box
If you know how to write an article, you also know how to rewrite articles. Article rewriting is when you make another article out of the original article. Article rewriting is a very common practice nowadays, where the writer will just look for a related articles that are already published on the Internet, get some ideas and start writing his or her own articles. It is legal to get some ideas from published articles but be careful to carefully edit the articles to avoid being accused of plagiarism.

Here are few tips of rewriting articles.
  • Interchange the paragraphs to present different perspective
  • Paraphrasing
  • Use synonyms
Here are popular keyword research tools
  1. SEOBook Keyword Suggestion Tool
  2. Free Wordtracker Keyword Search Tool
  3. Keyword Discovery Search Tool
