Writing Articles And Reports For Money : How-to

19 08 2006

This is the easiest, and sometimes the most lucrative “fast cash” type of information product to sell. And, because this is almost certainly the case, we will be making this type of information product the main focus of this report.

First though, you need to know the basic article format. Here’s a base template of how to compile your article:

Article Template

  • Article Title
  • A Short Introduction – Use this to provide a brief summary of what your reader will be learning from your article. Make it no more than a few paragraphs.
  • The Main Bulk of the Article – this is where the main content of your article should go. Use paragraphs and be sure that the article follows a logical writing “flow”. Put things in order from start to finish. Use as many paragraphs as it takes. You can also use things like a bulleted list, sub-heading titles, etc. in this area.
  • A Short Closing Statement – Much like the introduction, this area should consist of only a few paragraphs that provides your reader with a brief summary of what they should have learned, or the main idea behind the article.
  • [Insert Your Name Here] – This is a generic sample of text letting the reader/buyer of your article know where to stick their name.
  • [Insert Your Info Here] – Again, this is another generic sample of text for your readers/article buyers to place information about them. This could be their email address, their website, or a short little “blurb” about their skills.
