Can You Write a Book While Writing Full-Time - WritersLife.org How to Write a Novel Your Readers Will Love Webinar: http://bit.ly/2zDSPqZ Grab your free writer's toolkit by going to http://www.writerslife.org/toolkit Where to follow and listen to WritersLife.org: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/writerslifeorg/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/writerslife.org/ Twitter: http://www.Twitter.com/writerslifeorg Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/writerslifeorg/ Google +: http://www.WritersLife.org/googleplus Website: http://www.WritersLife.org Products: http://www.WritersLife.org/shop Podcast: http://writerslife.org/podcast Join Our Team: http://writerslife.org/contribute/ Advertise your book and.or writing https://www.facebook.com/WritersLifeAdvertisingPlatform/?ref=br_rs Thank you for listening Please Share it.

We LOVE to read comments so please leave a comment and subscribe to Our channel: https://www.youtube.com/writerslifeorg Grab your free writer's toolkit by going to http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello Everyone Peter here again from a writer's life and coming up today five guaranteed methods to writing and feature articles writing feature articles is a great skill and if done well can make you a lot of money all businesses can use feature articles on their websites and as part of their marketing plan and of course all publications need feature articles too so there is no shortage of demand but how do you learn to write great feature articles once that you can pitch to publications or businesses and make money from with these five simple tips writing a feature article is easy and they can be applied to any feature article regardless of the subject which therefore turns you into a brilliant and versatile writer number one know your audience this is so important and should have a massive influence on the style of writing the information you give the language you use and so on if you aren't clear about who you are targeting ask the business or publication to clarify or better still do your own research to find out you need to understand why the reader will come to that business for help why they would choose to pick up on that publication over all the others and what are they searching for are they reading for need or for pleasure are they looking for specific information or just to be entertained knowing your reader inside out before you start writing will help tailor your article so it not only appeals to them but exactly the right kind of content to help and satisfy them and next understand the point before you begin writing your feature article it's essential that you are clear on what is purposes after your reader has finished what do you expect them to do next is there a desired action or reaction that you need the reader to have if so make sure your writing is geared towards that and it's persuasive and to the point next why should your reader want to read this step outside yourself for a moment think about your target reader would they want to read your article if so why if not why not you need to understand what's in it for them what benefits are there for the reader and why they would come to you as the source of these benefits or information nowadays you'll be hard-pressed to find a subject that hasn't been covered elsewhere so unless you're writing about something incredibly niche or unusual you need to come up with a fresh angle or maybe alright in the absolute authority on that particular topic next plan your information before you start writing do your research prepare your information and come up with a structure of how your article will flow if you're writing for the web your style should be different to print features this is because readers are far more likely to skim read your information therefore make sure you let them know what it's all about from your headline also bring the writing of into essential points so they can quickly absorb the information and next be ready for questions it is now so much easier for customers and readers to communicate and voice their opinions once they are finished with your piece pre prepared for this and anticipate what questions they might have nothing looks worse than and I'm not sure response or worse just silence readers are a lot more forgiving if you are happy to respond to them though if someone has been particularly difficult you may want to move this discussion away from the public eye by asking them to contact you directly once you've completed these steps then you've done most of the hard work already therefore writing your articles should be a breeze you'll be clear on tone style and voice and purpose as well as having the outline of your article already written so there you go interesting useful and engaging content that will appeal to your target audience and motivate them to act writing a feature article done and dusted and don't forget if you struggling to write or finish your book our free writers toolkit can help with it you'll learn how to overcome procrastination get organized stay focused find times right and finally get your book published to get access to it now while it's still available simply go to http://www.writerslife.org/toolkit that's it for now be sure to give us the thumbs up if you liked this video and subscribe to our channel for more I'm Peter and I'll see you next time bye for now
