I am doing pretty well nowadays as a freelance SEO consultant, but I have to admit, a lot of my job is tedious. Since SEO is in the most part about getting high quality backlinks I spend a huge amount of my time article writing.
Now I do kind of love writing articles, it is fun. However when you have to write 50, 100, even 1000 articles surrounding one subject, the joy does kind of get spread a little thin!
To stop each and every article I write from becoming Internet dredge I try to follow three simple but effective components of article writing.
The first is to structure my article.Giving it a beginning, a middle and an end really helps keep my writing in check, and on point.
The second is to not ramble. This is a hard habit to break, especially when you are writing 100 versions of the same. However re-reading the article is a god way to spot dross that is just in there to fill space. If you cannot stay interested in your own writing, how do you expect anyone else to care?
The third and final thing I try to do is increase my own vocabulary. A few words which stretch your readers limits will definitely keep them interested!
By keeping myself on point with these three simple techniques I have seen a vast improvement in traffic, and people staying to read my articles!
