Obviously, most writing begins by brainstorming potential articles. And, this system is no different. However, for Internet marketers it is this step that can decide how much subsequent attention your articles get. If you pick the wrong topic or the wrong keywords, the search engines might ignore your articles in favor of other sites that used these techniques to increase traffic. At the very least, you might find yourself on page 20 of the search results, while your competitors rank on the first three pages of the search results.
Secondly, you want to have some idea of the types of structures that certain topics follow. Maybe you are doing a "how-to" article and want to write something in that genre. People who read how-to articles follow a certain structure. There are actually seven different structural outlines that we'll discuss that can help you lay out your thoughts quickly and research only the material that is relevant to the article. So, you will add your topic and choose a relevant structure, then you will need to do research.
Thirdly, after you have the topic, you still need to branch out to see how many articles or stories can be created from that single topic. You will need to spend some time mind mapping (a way to organize your research and brainstorming) your topic to figure out just how wide a topic it is and whether you should stick with it or try something that is more flexible and easier to write. There are tools we will go into that will help you do this and still be able to write your articles without having to exit the software.
That's it for the background preparation work! Then, you can sit down and write not just one, but many articles from that little extra time you spent preparing your writing session. Not only that, but you will find that the articles that you turn out are higher quality and have the potential to draw a larger audience because you started out with this in mind, as an Internet marketer, and didn't just write things haphazardly.
