Article Writing – How to Outline Your Article

Once you have determined the subject matter and the title of your article, you can begin to outline your article, so that you have a firm foundation on which to write.

Writing Articles

A note on this progression of steps: I personally write my title first, and use it as a kind of ruler, looking back at it to ensure that my article content is remaining consistent with my title. However, some authors will write their article first, then craft a title that is consistent with their article content. Either method is OK, although I like the accountability that is created when I craft my title first. I also do not physically write out an outline, as I can easily do that in my mind, and you should be able to do it easily after writing 20-30 articles. If you have never written any articles, I recommend writing an outline first; this will help you keep focused and not run out of direction when writing your article.
