Writing Articles That Can Be Used Over And Over Again

Writing Articles That Can Be Used Over And Over Again

Article marketing has received a bad reputation in recent months, after the Google Updater Panda. Despite this, there is still a great way to drive traffic to your site and position yourself as an expert. I do not know you, but I set aside some time each week to write and submit more articles.

And it all starts with ideas on what to write. What I would like to share with you today is my way of coming up with story ideas that I can use in several different formats. I can compile the articles in a brief report, re-use ideas for creating blogs, divide them into auto responder messages and the likes.

Here is the easiest way to find story ideas that lend themselves to be reused later in several different ways.

Start with a theme

Let me start with a general topic. This article is for example part of a series of 6 article on writing articles and reuse the contents of six different ways. If you first make a list of items like that, you can easily convert them to a brief report.

Then, I want to break every article into smaller points. Here are some templates you can use.

The three ways Outline

For this article, you just come with 3 different ways to do something. Write a brief introduction on what the article is about, then get right in every way of doing things. To create an article of 400 words, you want to write about 100 words or two short paragraph describing each direction.

Add a sentence or two of closing the transitions in your author resource box and you're done.

Section 5 Tips

Another great item is an article tips. Again, start with a brief introduction, then just write two or three sentences explaining each end. Use the last word of your article to the transition in your bio.

The model 7 ideas

Once you get to 7 or more points in your article, you are essentially creating a list of how to do things. List every idea and just add a sentence to explain a little more. With these articles, I often close by encouraging my readers to give only two or three of these ideas a try.

Please keep in mind that the figures I used in all three models above are arbitrary. Choose any number of points works well for you.

Send news to your favorite article directories.

Once you have 5 to 10 articles on the subject, described using one or more of the models I have given above, then you can use each point as an answering machine message and then expand the content in a blog . Let me give you an example.

Let's say that your article was about three ways to lose weight and your three points where:

· Drink more water

· Eat lean meat and vegetables

· Go for a walk of 30 minutes.

You write about 100 words or more for each point of your article. It's enough content to be used in an answering machine message. Just include a little intro and closing (possibly with an offer of membership or an invitation to learn more about weight loss on your blog) and you are auto responder message is done.

Then you can take one of the points, such as that of walking and writing a post 250 to 300 words on this blog, including some tips for effective walking workouts, how to stay motivated and the links.

Last but not least, to take the series of articles you write and compile a short report.
