Five Things You Need to Know about Writing Articles | How to get millions of views from blogs and article writting

1 ) The primary rule of writing is to make an article. And that’s a big deal. An article is not a single paragraph. One thing, or one action, or a sentence. It could be anything.

Writing well has two important rules to follow. First, it has to take place in your mind where you want it. 

Second, it has to happen for your audience. If no one can see the message in the article, then that’s OK. 

I’ve decided to write this post with both ideas in my brain, so let me tell you what happened today.

I want to start a blog. As soon as I’ve finished school and got my first job, there’ll be lots of people who can tell their friends about my new article? No problem. But because I’m starting a business and publishing articles, there are some things I need to consider. This list is just some things I’ve thought through over time.

There is only so much space on any page in a magazine. Each word in a paragraph will have a maximum word count. So if a 10- or 20-word sentence takes up 5% of all the space in the magazine, that can make a difference. This is where the second rule comes into play. An article doesn’t “exist” if it’s not read by someone else. But there are still good topics, like finance, health & fitness, travel or technology. Or even something completely different. You might think this would be too much information to share in a magazine, but in reality, when it becomes a website, everyone wants a bit more data.

2) Do I have what it takes to write about life?

The answer to this depends on what kinds of people you write to — people you think would keep reading at least once, and also those who are less interested in your opinion. For instance, my audience might be entrepreneurs looking to improve their websites or bloggers looking to become better writers. When you choose your readers, you can decide who they are and what topics they want to read.

This means that you have to figure out who might be interested in your work. That can mean getting permission from people like editors or publishers in magazines or newspapers or even talking to them online. Once you have their permission and know what kind of content you want to publish, you can go ahead and find resources to help you figure out how to reach readers.

3) What you’re going to do

Now that the title and outline of the story are out of the way, you have to put out the first draft, and let it go. Then you can add to and adjust it until it’s perfect. Maybe someone will correct how you phrase the idea — maybe you don’t say the right words. Other times, you forget to use the noun “they.” These are small mistakes that are easy to fix because they don’t really affect the meaning of your piece. Not to mention, a lot of the most common errors that are made in publications is the writer forgetting some essential part of what they are writing. Asking questions about the idea — asking your reader questions, why will we love this book so much?

If you want to learn how to write, and how to grow as a person, go to college. Even though you might not like everything you have to study, you have to do the best you can and work hard. At that point, you should have pretty basic knowledge of English grammar, structure, and writing. By the way, the American English Language Learner is considered English as a foreign language, so it would not just help the student read and understand English, it would prepare him/her for life as a teacher, as a journalist, or as whatever in between that career path.

4) How many times do I need to edit?

You probably think you’ve written the whole article and everything is in order. Nope. Most writers often forget to check their works. A word count isn’t enough. Just a few wrong sentences can ruin an entire story.

And sometimes you do forget. Don’t worry. There are many articles on Medium (or anywhere else) on how many sentences you really have. In fact, one piece from David Mottram on Medium had 2 million words, but he added about 200,000, which makes sense. After writing a couple more articles and correcting a little here and there, you should have a decent amount of stuff.

5) What is proofreading? Is it a skill or an art?

Proofreading is basically the process of being conscious of your own work and making sure every line holds a clear connection between characters and events.

According to Wikipedia, the process is similar to editing a text — but it takes longer when you don’t have a large number of sources and quotes and when the writer has already covered the topic of discussion. Also, even though it is an art, not yet mastered, it does actually take practice to become proficient. Some writers feel like they can never complete a project without having proofread it.

So yes, it’s true. Proofreading is a skill and an art.

To summarise: Proofreaders take care of the author with their eyes. Their minds and their hearts focus on the words they read. They ask themselves the following question:

“So what?”

When this happens, you can focus fully on what you are doing rather than worrying about what you haven’t read or how you have to change your style of writing
