3. Summary
Write a gripping opening article summary to give readers a taste:

• Use present and active language.
• Be brief in 2-5 sentences (200 words max.).
• Use good grammar, capitalization, and spelling.
• Provide a compelling call to action.

4. Organize your article body into three sections:
A. Introduction:
• Tell your readers what you will be writing about and why.
• Compel readers using direct, active language.
• Engage by providing a relevant compelling analogy or fact.
• Focus on your main idea and its benefits to the reader.
• Main text.
B. Format original, quality content according to the topic:
• Unordered lists when providing an overview of options.
• Ordered lists when providing a step-by-step process or ranking of importance (using bullets or numbers).
• Bolded headers to compartmentalize sections of text.
• A conclusion that supports your opening sentence.
C. Write a motivating conclusion:
• Recap your main point.
• Provide a thought-provoking piece of information.
• Create a bridge connecting readers to their next step.
• Check that you’ve used your main keyword phrase at least three times in your article.
• Enter up to 100 characters worth of keywords to help interested parties find your articles.
And lastly, make sure you have an author resource box where you have:
• Your name and (optional) business title.
• Your personal or business website address in a valid URL form. (i.g.: https://your-company-name.com).
• Your unique value proposition pitch.
• A call to action that directs readers to your website or blog.
