As you scan every word of this article you will begin to discover tactics for writing articles persuasively and hypnotically. Starting with the basics, in a few short moments, you will find a strategy that you can follow to successfully capture your reader's attention.
This simple strategy for persuading people is not a new tactic. The Greeks used this long long ago with Aristotle's help as he worded it for them, approximately 2500 years ago. The great Greek orators were taught by him to make speeches and have their say.
His formula was:
Exordium: An amazing statement or story to get attention.
Narratio: Pose the problem the reader is experiencing.
Confirmation: Give the problem a solution.
Peroratio: State the benefits of action on the solution.
This formula is very similar to the commonly known advertising formula known as
AIDA: Attention, Interest, Desire, Action.
Here the marketer captures the attention of the potential buyer, holds his interest to get him to stay a little while, long enough to want the product and leads him to take action, i.e. buy the product.
Your writing becomes simple and easily kept on course by using a simple formula made from these two strategies.
1. Is your opening getting the attention you want? 2. Are you talking about an issue the reader worries about? 3. Is your offer something that will really benefit? 4. Are you suggesting the reader takes action?
Indeed, when article writing it is important the consider these questions but when writing like this there are a few more important pointers. These are 1.Getting the reader's attention by having a hypnotic, enticing and attractive title
2. Having content that is of high quality, valuable, clear and easy to read so you can show them you are solving their problem
3. Making sure the article is written to get the reader to want to know more and follow your call to action
4. And if you are using articles for your internet marketing then writing as many articles as possible, at least two per week is necessary.
1. Getting The Reader's Attention By Having A Hypnotic, Enticing And Attractive Title
A hypnotic, enticing and attractive title is the first point to catch the reader's eye and it makes a promise. It needs to be hypnotic and persuasive enough for the reader to not move on by.
With the abundance of information available online you have a very short span of time to capture your reader before he is gone afain. And readers only follow articles that they reckon on gaining something from - remember concentrate always on what they are getting.
There are numerous words that are hypnotic and will make your title captivating.
Start by using words like:
Unlock...
How to...
Learn...
Discover...
Insane...
Proven...
And then you can continue to use lots of other hypnotic capturing words in the rest of the title like: at last, fascinating, improved, exclusive, astonishing, revolutionary. Hypnotic words like these mesmerise the reader and humans are inquisitive by nature and cannot resist a challenge!
2. Having Content That Is Of High Quality, Valuable, Clear And Easy To Read So You Can Show Them You Are Solving Their Problem.
For the hypnotic article the opening line is the second most important element. Here is the point where you make your next promises and give an idea of what may come next: As you begin scanning the beginning of this piece you notice yourself... As you follow every word of this article you will be astonished by what you could learn... You donot know this yet, but very shortly you are going to learn...
Then when you are writing the remainder of the article think about the ground rules. Make sure the article is clear and reader friendly. Write good grammar. Make sure there is plenty of white space, by having short paragraphs and sub headings, bullet points and graphs and pictures, use language that is easy to understand, write with passion and chat to the readers like they are friends.
3. Making SureTthe Article Is Written To Get The Reader To Want To Know More And Follow Your Call To Action
One of the main reasons for writing articles is to generate traffic for your site, business or product. Holding the reader's interest is the main plan. Anyway, people are not mind readers so they need to have actions suggested to them for them to act. Be persuaded to take action and click through to your link. Focus on what your reader wants and keep their interest in mind while you lead them to your site!
With time and practice you will soon have readers urging for more knowledge, quickly clicking on your link and even talking to their friends about you. So be passionate in your writing, seduce the reader and make sure you care about them.
