Article Writing- 3 Pointers on How To Get Your Editors Attention

There are a number of ways to do this, but first you need to understand that an Internet editor from the major Ezine Publishers receive thousands of articles each and every day. They see so much of the rehashed work, that anything out of the ordinary makes for a welcome change.

1. To start with you need to show that you understand your subject and that you can contribute something unique and special. This can be done by approaching your topic from a different angle or perspective. You need to use creative thinking to find something that others are not talking about. Some fresh interesting idea. All you need to do is go to your niche's category and read what is there. This is what you should "NOT" be writing about. You have to be a leader in your field, in order to stand out.

An example I use is in the Dog training niche. You could approach it from a nutritionists point of view where certain diets can effect animal behaviour. By just changing your dogs diet from a high protein to a more balanced one can make a big difference. Writing from a different perspective makes your contribution unique and special.

2. 90% of your articles success comes from your headline or title. If you get this wrong you are wasting your time. Don't worry as this can be learnt by using proven methods that are sure to get attention. One way is to use a hook in your title and to show that you understand how to position your thought piece.

To do this is to first use your niches top key word up front in your article title. "Dog Training" for instance. This is to get your prospects attention right off the bat. If they are interested in this subject, that is your lead. Now ask a question that you know they need an answer to. This has to muster interest. Here is an example: "Dog Training- What are the Top 3 Secrets to Getting Your Dog To Obey Without Costing A Fortune?" Not only do they want this valuable information, it builds an atmosphere of secrecy or intrigue that has got to be scratched.

3. Consistently keep submitting fresh thought pieces in a regular way. As more of your articles are submitted to the same directory you become familiar and remembered. Not only does this get you better known but builds and develops your skills in order for your confidence to grow. Another quick tip here is to always proof read and do a spell check before submitting. No one wants to receive something full of mistakes. Remember- Success comes to those who want it.
