<p>Following ideas reveal what a good article should look like and what you should keep in mind while writing. This list should be thought as a checklist for article writing.</p>
<p><strong>Catchy Title</strong><br />
Title must seduce your reader and also summarise the article in a few words.</p>
<p><strong>First paragraph must be enticing</strong><br />
Make the first paragraph so good that people want to continue reading. Do not let your readers down from the upbeat that you set in the title.</p>
<p><strong>Good grammar</strong><br />
Keep the grammar clean and always spellcheck. Errors in  grammar are an instant turn off.</p>
<p><strong>Be concise</strong><br />
Say things with as few words as possible. Do not babble.</p>
<p><strong>Interesting content</strong><br />
Content must be something interesting to your readers and it should be put in a way that captures attention.</p>
<p><strong>Short paragraphs</strong><br />
Write only short paragraphs. Long paragraphs are boring and they do not keep the attention of your readers.</p>
<p><strong>Keep it informal</strong><br />
Write in an informal way to make your article more friendly. Most people who read articles online do not like scientific approaches to subjects. Conversational tone is much better.</p>
<p><strong>Use humour</strong><br />
Humour captivates people by making them feel good. Try to spice up your article with a few good humorous comments.</p>
<p><strong>Keep your  audience in mind</strong><br />
Think about what is your audience and what will they probably be looking for. Make the tone fit your audience and deliver appropriate content.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion at the end</strong><br />
Write a short conclusion to recap the essence of the article. Attach some related links to give your readers more information on the subject.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>These tips provide a starting point for a great article. Remember to KISS (keep-it-simple-stupid): be consise and write short paragraphs. Make the reader sorry the article has ended <img src='http://blogidy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
