Beginning : How to write articles ?
To learn how to write articles, you need to first decide what you need to write about. In order to figure that out, start writing in an empty notebook / blank notes.
So once you start writing in an empty notebook/blank notes , you will learn that you can be very good at various topics. You not necessarily need to write heavy articles whereas you can write short articles like 600-700 words. Create a captivating story around your topic.
When you think, you’ve written enough now to go public or on the other hand you can directly start writing online. In both case you can consider buying a domain and hosting for which I personally use and highly suggest hostinger being an affiliate partner for them.
Before you write your first article online, you need to learn a few basic things like SEO and on page optimization for which various free WordPress plugins are available on which detailed articles are going to come in future of course.
Now coming to articles, first thing you need to do is to input a keyword in Rank math SEO , which is going to appear while writing an article in the left side bar. Again we are partner with rank math and you can try it for free from the given link.

Necessary requirements to learn how to write articles .
If you are just a new person who is trying to learn how to write articles, you need to learn basic elements which are needed to be included. An article is a perfect combination of hook heading and a continuing content flow.
Heading
Write all headings in H2 tag so as to making it easy for the reader to distinguish between different parts of the article. Headings should not be confusing.
Like in this case, “How to write articles” is a heading and “Beginning” is a sub heading. You specially need to play around those.
Lists
Make bulleted list of necessary points they often end up showing as top results in google search snippets. Another great importance of a list is that a person can scan what are the contents of article quickly.
Describe
Describe each heading in as simple and easy manner possible. Don’t just necessarily fill up the spaces. Write what you think is important to be included. And please don’t publish rubbish unproven theories in beginning. A person’s time is valuable so wasting it is not a good way to serve consumers.
Linking
Link to at-least one older post and to any of your social accounts both so as to increase back link traffic. They are also integral parts of SEO. To link out is also an art which makes this process of “How to write articles” easy.
Write related articles
See if you are covering one topic write multiple articles about it and link all of them to each other in hierarchy in reference to the date uploaded. This helps in improving domain authority.
Longer articles 1/20
So this is a formula which I’m going to use for my own blog that I will write 1 long article necessarily about 2500-3000 words after every 20 articles of 600-700 words.
Supporting elements
Every article you write should have a supporting element which can be any of these ; personal case study, any case study available online or theoretical proof of record available online/offline.
Difference in role of long and short article
Short articles are necessarily used for describing topics that do not have depth or are tutorials. Whereas longer topics contain depth and have so much of information packed in that if posted as an individual topic article it can be equal to at-least 5-7 of them.
Individual choices
See if you’re too niche specific and generally niches don’t have too much to cover until it’s too broad and has many sub branches. So what you can do is write short articles for every aspect of that niche. For example – If your niche is SEO, you can write one article about various SEO tools. Another one could about proper SEO checklist and stuff like that.
In simple words – One broad topic and 20-30 sub topics.
