1 - The Title

The Title can make or break your article. A good friend of mine always says if I make a mistake and my wife isn't here am I still wrong?

The Best way to learn to craft good titles is to read as many titles as you can. Scan the Article Directories see what grabs you. Go to the Supermarket and look over those Gossip Papers. Many an Expert Copy Writer told me those are the best places to learn about Titles and Headlines.

2 - The Abstract

The Abstract may be as Important and in Some Cases More Important then the Title, Many Article Directories want a Short Abstract about your Article. They will display this right under your title in their Listing. Wouldn't it be a Crime to grab them with an Amazing Title only to loose them with a Terrible Abstract. Think of your abstract as an Extension of your Title or a Sub Title. The best Abstract will build suspense and peak curiosity making the reader wanting to know more.

3 - The Opening Paragraph

You may want to tell them just enough so that they feel the learned something but still not enough so they feel compelled to click the link in your resource box.

5 - The Closing Paragraph

Leave the Reader feeling good, Sum up your article maybe make a final key point. Direct them to your Resource box if they want further information. Maybe even thank them for getting this far.

6 - The Resource Box

The Resource Box is the Big Payoff. The Resource Box is the reason you wrote this Article. A Resource Box should contain
