[EzineArticles]Simple Tips for Going from "Expert" to "Expert Author"

Simple Tips for Going from "Expert" to "Expert Author" You're an expert in your niche, and translating all that knowledge into articles doesn't have to be complicated, even if you're just starting out. Here are five simple tips to transform from an Expert into an Expert Author! Tip #1 - Establish Your Goal It may seem like common sense, but many authors forget to figure out what they're trying to say before they start writing. Outlines are useful tools for giving your article structure, but if you're not a big fan of outlining, answer the following questions before you start writing: Who am I writing for? What's my ideal audience? What do I want my readers to learn from this article? How will I explain/prove my point? Tip #2 - Be Informative Readers seek informative content, so provide the "give" in your article body and leave the "take" for your Resource Box or website. The quality of your information should make a good impression by providing value to the reader, not leaving them wanting more. Resist the temptation to sell in your articles. Tip #3 - Share Your Experience... You're an expert in your niche, but your readers are not. Don't worry about making your writing sound smart, just think of some questions your readers will have and answer them. You can also use article templates to help you structure the information in your article and generate new ideas. Tip #4 - ...But Not All At Once You have a lot of knowledge, and you're excited to share it. However, don't overwhelm your readers. Break up large topics into smaller components in separate articles. This gives you more articles to write and won't scare readers with extremely long articles. Tip #5 - Consider Hiring a Ghostwriter Weigh your options. Is your business better served if you outsource the article writing and focus on other aspects of your business instead? If so, you can find some hiring tips here! These five tips will help you convert your expertise into articles that will bring you readers and traffic. Keep the reader's needs in the front of your mind as you write and they'll thank you by coming back again and again.
