Day 3 - Writing the List Article

This is day 3 of the Article Writing Course:

The list article is the easiest type of article to write.
It is a list of related things.

For example:

Top 7 Article Writing Tips for Affiliates
Top 10 Tips for Getting More Business Now
Top 7 Ways to Start a Business

If you use the 8 Minute Article Writing software, each of
the steps is clearly laid out for you. You have the ability
to "jump around" in the software, add your tips, and then
write your explanations.

Before writing your list article, write your title. You
need to know how many tips you will need.

We will use the "Top 7 Article Writing Tips for Affiliates"
to write an article.

Your first step is to create a list of tips. All of your
tips must be related to your topic. In this case, we are
writing an article about article writing as it relates
specifically to writing articles for affiliates.

For example:

1. Choose a product.
2. Create a title.
3. Write your list of tips.
4. Write an explanation of each tip.
5. Write the beginning, conclusion, and summary for your
article.
6. Create a resource box.
7. Submit your article.

Now that we have a list of tips, we want to write one or
two paragraphs to further explain each tip.

***********************

For example:

1. Choose a product.
As an affiliate marketer, you have a large amount of
products to choose from to sell. To choose the right
product to promote, you want to select a product that
solves your potential customers' problems.

You also want to consider the amount of commission you will
make, whether or not the product fits your topic, and how
you will promote the product.

***********************

Next, go through each of the tips and write one to two
paragraphs to explain each tip. Keep your words, sentences,
and paragraphs short. Remember, your article only needs to
be 400 - 700 words. Keeping your article short and
answering your readers' questions will get them to click
through to your site.

Don't forget to use your keyword phrase you have chosen
throughout the article. Three to five times is enough. This
will help you further optimize your article for the search
engines.

In the next lesson, we will finish writing the article.
Lesson five covers Beginnings, Conclusions, and Summaries.
