These days almost everyone seems to be in the world of online writing. Here are some tips for writing articles specifically for online purpose.

1. Keep your articles short and to the point. Most people do not have time for too long articles. Articles written between 300 to 600 words are the best.

2. Select a good title, something that looks catchy yet pertains to your topic.

3. Use breaks, numbers and bullet points to make it more readable.

4. Use simple plain English since people from all over the world will be reading it.

5. If a user asks question regarding your article (or leaves a comment), always reply it so that your readers do not feel ignored.

Many people start writing articles, usually be creating their own blog and sometimes a mini-website. They write articles on some fancy topics which they believe will be very popular, but soon enough they realize that they are not getting enough visitors or they give up writing because they feel bored now. Frankly, writing articles can be boring unless you follow your heart. The number one rule of online writing, especially for people who want to write frequently is not to force yourself in writing articles on a particular topic, but just follow what your brain tells you.

There is no harm in writing articles on a wide variety of topics, even if they are totally unrelated to each other. This gives you freedom and avoids getting bored on just one topic. Soon enough we start realizing that we will find ideas from every day life, listening to news or even while talking to friends or children.

There are millions of people on internet, searching on articles on infinite number of topics. Therefore there is hardly any topic that you write and someone may not be searching on it. Writing articles will soon become your hobby.

Always use free programs to track how many users are coming to your articles and do provide feature for them to leave comments. Promptly reply to those readers comments which will soon help you making a loyal reader base. Frankly, patience is the key on online writing. Success does not come easily but keep writing and it will eventually come. I have been writing articles on this site for a while.
