An attractive article is nothing, but an article which catches you the most. Well no one can be sure about what an attractive article is, but I am trying to point out some things that make an article attractive to the reader’s. Taken proper care of this points surely helps you to attract many readers to your articles.

• Catchy Title: No one will open your letter if it is in an envelope which is dirty or not good looking. On the other hand even if the letter is dirty, but the envelope is beautifully presented will surely force anyone to open it.. So it works like this one, when u write an article, the first thing that a reader sees is the title. If the title is attractive and catchy then surely the reader will like to read it.

• First paragraph: The very first para of your article is very very important as it shows the reader what they can expect in the whole article. If the very first paragraph is designed beautifully then the reader is forced to read the whole article.

• Last Paragraph: The last paragraph is also very important, as it leaves a lasting effect of your article on the reader. So one should make sure that even that is beautifully crafted. Also one should make sure that you don’t leave your reader confused about what you want to explain.

• Adding Pictures:  By adding pictures to your articles you can convey your message more easily and expressively to the reader’s. Pictures catch the eyes of the readers. Even if the reader is not in a mood to read whole of your article, then the picture will explain the whole story easily without waisting much of the time of the reader.

• Grammatically correct:  To gain maximum recognition in the eyes of the reader’s. One has to make sure that whatever he/she is writing is correct grammatically too..
• Clearly expressed:  Once you start writing, you should be sure about what you want to explain the reader about your views and ideas. Nothing should go round and round and confuse the reader’s. If it happens once, it is also possible that the same reader might not pause and read any other of your articles.
• Vocabulary:  It’s not very easy to add good vocab to your articles, but it’s easy to add vocab which can be easily understood. Vocabulary helps the readers to know about you.Try to use as easy vocabulary as possible, as you are not targeting a particular category of reader’s. But you want your article to be read by all kind of people and also everyone should be able to understand without much hassles.

According to my survey, these are some of the important points which are to be taken care while writing an article.
