Opinion Articles That Sell

Some tips on how to write opinion articles that are competitive.

Media, health, pornography, dreams and teaching ESL have gained the most popularity as reading topics over the past month. I am referring to the content list of a blog I diligently contribute to on a monthly basis. Naturally I am in constant search for article topics that will inform or amuse the reader but most of the time I write what I feel irrespective of its popularity. Here is what I need to do in order to bring in more revenue to the articles that I write.

  1. I have to consider what is trendy. Popular topics will bring in more revenue than unpopular ones. Topics that deal with family and relationships are more popular than ones on childhood and taxation.
  2. Consider that good organization and good information. will lead to eventual popularity and a good readership. If the information provided is too sketchy and the writer is not clear on his facts than the reader will unlikely want to refer to his blog again. There should be a good opening statement, followed by a body or explanation of that statement and then a concluding line.
  3. It helps if the writer is direct in his approach. An article that is too wordy will not be as popular as one that is not.
  4. The article has to be farmed out to sites where a certain readership would be expected and those include forums or blog sites where comments can be left. If one were going to write something on relationship a good forum to post this would be on social networks or dating forums. Likewise language articles will likely be looked at more often on ESL forums than others.
  5. Articles should be well researched before they are written up. Ones that have little information to back up a premise or are too vague scientifically speaking will have little credence.
  6. There should be references to other articles or research reports especially if the review in question is going to be scientifically based. This will also add credibility to your argument.
