5 Tips to Create Killer Articles for your Blog

This is a Guest Post by Vishal Sanjay of DumbLittleBlogger.

If your blog gives good useful and unique content, you don’t need a good design and you don’t need to promote it yourself, your blogs users spread your words and get more popularity for your blog. If you have good content then every user will get 3 other users. In this way you don’t spend a cent and the entire traffic is in your hands; but in order to create such an echoing traffic you’ll need to shout out well enough. This you can do with your blogs content.

Below are some tips to create useful content:


Finding a question

First thing I do before writing an article is, I search forums, answer sites and comments on other blogs. I do this to find out what are web users in my niche looking for, if they don’t find whatever they are looking for I am sure they would post it on forums and on other sites. If you go through them I am sure you’ll get an idea for a killer article that would get you some bookmarks. If your site gets good traffic then you can set up a contact form for users to ask questions. After writing the article make sure you reply to them with a link to your article.

Blogs in your niche

After finding a topic to write about, search other sites in your niche and find articles related to your topic. If you are copying a large part of the article from their blog, make sure you give a link to them and also use quotes on the part which you copied. Whenever I sit down to write an article I refer to few other sites, some books and some friends I know on Facebook and Twitter.

Your own experiments

If you write articles merging different articles from 6 sites, you are likely to get any bookmarks. So, you will have to write down your own discoveries to create killer articles. Once many of my users had asked questions about using StumbleUpon for traffic, to answer this I first created an account on StumbleUpon and started experimenting with it and after 1 month when I had learned every single way to use StumbleUpon for blog traffic I wrote a post. Of course, writing a killer article takes a lot of time and patience, but once you get good traffic one killer article in a month will be enough.

Get articles from directories

There are many article directories which give away articles for free, these articles are written by other bloggers. Publishing these articles on your site is free, but you are supposed to post the article as it is and most of them have links to the authors website. If your users see these links they may not leave any bookmarks. This method is not very much appreciated by me and I still prefer sitting with my PC with a cup of tea and writing my own articles.

Hire a ghost writer

If you don’t have the skills and the time to write good articles then you can outsource it to some freelancers, of course you’ll have to pay them, an average graded ghost writer demands $10 per article. If you have the cash resources you can easily opt to this, but if you don’t you are on your own. You can find freelance ghost writers on many freelance sites which you can know more about in the article Make Money Online Bidding on projects at Freelance Marketplaces!

  2. Vishal, you did this well.

    I think it will also be good for every blogger to write killer articles one in a week.

    The idea of hiring a ghost writer is cool but it will better if bloggers result to having guest posts. Create a way on your blog where you can seek for guest post and also make the post available for your readers.

    1. I totally agree with you John. Experimentation’s rocks!

      Its like getting out of the box. Hiring a ghost writer is good especially if you have a solid reason why you should hire one. However, finding a good ghost writer is not easy. That is why i prefer guest post from my blogger friends. Not only that you won’t spend any dime. You’re also assured that you’ll receive a good article to be publish on your blog.:) plus. You are also helping your blogger friend in a way. Since guest posting is a win win situation.

  5. You said right my friend that content play vital role in your blogs or site popularity. A meaningful and informative content attract the followers and you have suggested worthy tips to make the content worthwhile.

  6. Hi Vishal

    Thanks for sharing with us your thoughts.

    My view in getting articles from Article Directories is solely for the benefits of my reader. If the article is good and will benefit my readers, I will still post it.

    Am not too concern in getting the post bookmarked.

    End of the day, my prefered mode is to write my own article.

  9. Really nice tips on how to get ideas for writing articles. But to pen it down one has to have these 5 things :

    1) Pen down the ideas in points
    2) Create a storyline for the article, so that it has an interesting beginning, informative content and concluding end.
    3) Use simple sentence structure
    4) Use proper punctuation
    5) Last but most important; give you article a CATCHY title.

  10. If you are going to use a ghost writer, I suggest preparing notes and thoughts in bullet form, or at least having some discussions with the writer so he or she gets a feel for how you communicate. Regardless of the length of the articles, you should be careful about the voice and whether or not it captures your personality and/or the correct tone for the site. I’ve been ghost writing for the past year (for a book), and it’s hard not to let your own editorial mannerisms creep in. I insist on regular verbal conversations, at least every other week, to keep me writing in tune with the named author.
