The Perfect Article

Your articles should never be longer than about 300-350 words. This is enough to get your article accepted, but you don’t want to go over this length.

For one thing, it takes longer to write an article that is longer than 300 words. This is the most obvious reason to keep articles shorter. After all, article marketing is about volume. You need to have a lot of articles to make really good money.

But there are a couple of other reasons, too:

1. People prefer short, quick articles these days. They just don’t have time to read longer articles.

2. The longer the article, the more information the reader will get. If you give them all the information they need, they will have no need to visit the link in your resource box!

Write Great Articles Quickly

Writing articles quickly is critical, because the more articles you get out there, the more money you will make. The faster you can write them, the more you can get out there in a day.

I always start by creating a quick outline based on my article title/subject. Let’s say I’m writing an article on “5 Easy Ways to Choose the Best Golf Clubs”.

I would make a list of 5 quick tips, like this:

1. Figure out the type of material you want your clubs to be made of.
2. Decide on a price range.
3. Choose a brand you really love.
4. Check the reviews in magazines or online.
5. Ask friends for their recommendations.

Then I go through my list of 5 tips and just flesh it out paragraph by paragraph. I add a few sentences to each tip to make each one a complete paragraph, and in just 5-10 minutes, I have a 300 word article ready to submit!
