Ways an article Outline that works

Remember when you were in grade school and your teacher always gave you an outline to follow when writing. Basically, the same will apply when writing an article. Writing is a unique form of expression and your words and ideas should flow as smoothly as water. This is what gain and holds your readers attention. Outlining your articles before they are written gives you the creative flow and guides you from one point to the next within the article body.

• Start by listing your points one by one
• Outline subtopics from A to B until you have completed what is to be said

For example:

If you are going to write an article on Building A House then your outline should be as follows:

Start with topic: "How To Build A Home"

Your subtopic can be something like this: "Steps to building a new home"

Point A to B

1. Tools needed
2. Floor Plans
3. Framing and building
4. Project completion
5. Conclusion

This may or may not be the exact outline of how you may want your article to flow but it's a general idea of how an outline should look. Your first obvious writing should begin with, the tools needed to build a home, followed by different types of floor plans and on and on. This way of writing will make your article flow because of the organization of your ideas. In this way, your content isn't all over the place confusing your reader.

Creating an outline before you write will not only make it more valuable to the reader but it will also help you to remember the most important points of the article. Be careful to stick to the points of the article as well, try writing around the points of the article rather than just writing off the top of your head. You can even research your subtopics in Google to support your ideas..

For example:

If you were to do keyword searches for your article points, then it will look like this:

Point A to B

1. Tools needed (keywords) tools needed to build a home
2. Floor Plans (keywords) floor plans to build your home
3. Framing and building (Keywords) framing and building your home
4. Project completion (Keywords) Finishing your home
5. Conclusion (no keyword necessary) Give a conclusion of your findings

It's obvious that once you type these keyword sentences into Google that you are going to come up with many results. A little research may be in order but this will only add value to your article as well as good penmanship. This will give you added knowledge on what you are writing about and adds flavor to your writing style. This method will also obviously give your article pretty good ranking as well.

Some more good tips:

1. Try to be as descriptive as possible when you write your content
2. If you get stuck, go back to your outline and think about your topic to come up with fresh details for writing.
3. Remain within the subject area, stay away from content filling and be direct on the subject

The purpose of an outline is to keep your article on track. Your main points should always be the focus of your writing. Content filling will normally steer your readers away from your article because:

1. They will loose interest because the article has gotten off of the subject
2. This will make the writer look as if he or she isn't that knowledgeable on the subject
3. Wouldn't help your ranking at all in the SERP's

Many people write many different ways, but this method has proven to be one of the more effective ways of writing. Anyone can type a bunch of words and call it an article, but when you put your style to it and write from what you know, do your research if necessary and organize your thoughts as opposed to someone just typing anything, then it makes a really big difference. These are the type of articles that readers will come back to and even link back to as opposed to the writer who just types, he or she will have to type hundreds or even thousands of articles to even make an income, because he or she has no style and no one will link back.

Take this route and you can make more money in less time with not so many articles. As long as your articles are useful, well written and has good flow, it will rank well and people will read them and link back.
