We all know that writing articles and submitting them to various websites and ezines through article directories is a great way to promote our online home based business. But there are many people who simply dread having to write articles. They keep putting it off whilst they concentrate on other areas of their online business.

Many people feel like it seems to be too much work and they question whether anyone actually reads their pearls of wisdom! So it can become quite easy to avoid doing it and miss out on a massive opportunity for promotion of their online business. Put yourself in the shoes of the reader and you also start to think how reading articles seems like work to, especially if the article is boring and very bland!

So there we have a form of stalemate the online business owner knows they have to write articles to promote their website but they don't want to bore people so they put off doing it until another day.

However making an article readable and enjoyable doesn't have to be hard work and think of the benefits! Once you get the hang of it, writing articles can be fun, as well as profitable for you and your online business.

Of course, the articles you write must be about something you know about, or are interested in. If you own a website then you probably are more knowledgeable about the topic of your site than you think you are.

When you start to write about the topic of your website it really will not seem as difficult as it might just now, because you already know you topic. It's just a matter of making your articles creative and interesting.

To make sure that your articles get read and enjoyed, here are some ideas to get your articles read. If you follow these simple ideas then you will be able to make your


articles readable and interesting.

Use short paragraphs.

When the paragraphs are very long, the reader finds themselves having to read the paragraph again and again to make sense of it. It can get quite confusing and feel like too much hard work to read. The reader will probably move on to find something which is easier to read. So don't be afraid to make your paragraphs short. They can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!

Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header.

If your title can capture someone's attention or 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 are also short and concise.

Use titles like, "How to make her swoon and blush" .You could also use titles that can you're your readers something they want, for example, "Make her yours in six easy Ways". This type of title reaches out to the reader's emotions and makes them interested.

Keep their interest from the start to the finish.

Use real life situations that the reader can relate to. Use good descriptions and metaphors to clarify your point, but avoid doing it to the extent that you confuse your reader! Appropriate use of personal or familiar examples with powerful analogies or metaphors can make it easy for them to relate to what you are talking about. This means that the reader is engaging with you and will be encouraged to read on.
