[EzineArticles] 8 Tips to Writing Instructional Articles Readers Love

8 Tips to Writing Instructional
Articles Readers Love
EzineArticles.com Logo

Put the "I" in Unique!

Dozens of niches provide how-to instructional articles. Why? They're easy to write and they target most audience's sweet spots: informative content that helps them achieve what they want (whether it's an emergency or to achieve a goal).

Due to the popularity of this type of content, it's easy to let your quality slip. When was the last time you took a step back and really looked deep into the instructional content you're writing? Look closely: Do your instructional articles offer detailed original tips, insights, case studies, or analysis? Or do your article submissions beat around the bush by providing regurgitated or vague content in order to build backlinks?

If it's the latter or you're unsure, then rein it in. Use these tips to write productive instructional articles that benefit readers and your exposure.

  1. Provide Quality Content - If your intention is to provide readers with helpful, quality, and detailed information that provides them with solutions to their needs and wants, then you're on the right path. Don't stray from this path by regurgitating existing content on the Internet or stating the obvious (e.g., "Find a great XYZ by searching online"). In writing, quality is much more important than quantity.
     
  2. Explain in Detail - Organize your thoughts into well-designed, detailed articles. Bear in mind readers will mainly want the "need to know" details relevant to achieving their needs or wants. Avoid complex industry jargon to ensure you will benefit your most basic readers. Include specific steps, guidelines, precautions, and your best tips to ensure you've asserted your authority and your unique content is clear.
     
  3. Instruct Patiently - Guide your readers through each corresponding step so they may follow along without having to revert back to a previous step or click away for more information. First, outline the fundamental steps in a sequential order, and then provide helpful hints or best practices for your audience.
     
  4. Include an Exercise - Get your readers involved by providing an exercise for them to do on their own. This can be a problem to solve, a fun activity, a survey, or steps to follow to achieve a desired end result. Whatever you do, light the way for them with clear directions (that's format and language) so they don't get through your article and have no direction on where to start.
     
  5. Restrain Yourself - Limit the amount of ideas or concepts in your articles by focusing on 1 or 2 main points. It's tough, but it requires you to drill down a topic to consider all of the intricate details that make it whole (or work!). This allows you to separate ideas into a series of articles without overloading the reader with multiple concepts in one article. Aim for 1 detailed idea per article.
     
  6. Share Experience - Don't hesitate to use your own experience when describing an instructional process. Think about the best ways you would follow through with your plan and be precise in your directions. You can separate your ideas from the standard "industry ideas" if you wish, so your unique content makes an impact.
     
  7. Follow up on Your Website - Your instructional article should stand on its own; however, you can entice the reader to visit your website for even more in-depth information in the form of images, diagrams, videos, etc. in the call-to-action of your Resource Box. The key is to deliver in the article and then over-deliver on your website to provide a great user experience.
     
  8. Include References - Your content needs to be unique and the star of the article, but you're certainly entitled to include helpful references that paved the way for your strategies. The instructions you give can be your own spin on a basic principle and having that backup to reference will give your readers some assurance of your credibility.

An instructional article's primary purpose is to educate readers in a short and concise document that conveys useful information to support concepts and procedures. A common misconception of instructional articles is that they should be written solely using technical language. While acceptable, cut and dry technical writing can be incredibly boring for both the reader and the author. Use the above list to deliver unique instructional content that's engaging and never leaves your audience hanging.

How do you ensure your instructional articles are engaging, unique, and assert your credibility? Click here to share your feedback in the comments section!

[EzineArticles] Maximize Your Engagement: Understand Your Author Type

Maximize Your Engagement: Understand Your Author Type EzineArticles.com Logo

What Type of Author Are You?

Have you ever considered how your personality shows in your writing and how it could be affecting your success negatively?

"[When] it comes to sales and marketing and to positioning ourselves as the expert in our field, we have a general tendency to consider every other person to have similar interests to us, and to have similar needs and wants to us," stated EzineArticles Diamond Expert Author Marc De Bruin's article, Your Business Writing Skills - What Kind of Author Are You? "This often times causes us to compose our sales and marketing messages in a style that is clear and comfortable for us, but may not be as clear and comfortable for the one who reads our copy."

Based on the Aus IDentities principles of personality profiling, Marc provides the basics to help all writers understand their "Author Type" and how they can use this knowledge to gain maximum acceptance by readers. Check out the following highlights of Marc's article below.

The Author Leader

You write articles to teach and inspire. Constantly seeking knowledge to master a topic, you focus on helping your audience reach their full potential.

Tips for the Author Leader type:

  • Include more real-world examples to convey your message
  • Tone down jargon that may confuse readers
  • Increase practicality and application by providing solutions
  • Condense large topics into a series of shorter articles

The Author Negotiator

You are speed driven and favor independent work without restriction or regulation. Focused on the present, you have a keen eye for detail and can find solutions to current problems quickly.

Tips for the Author Negotiator type:

  • Think "bigger picture" by providing long-term solutions in your articles
  • Consider the past and future of your niche and topic
  • Give examples that tie into the framework of your cumulative experience
  • Allow other perspectives to enter into the fray

The Author Humaniser

You champion an idealistic world view to inspire and empower people to become their best. A visionary with an uncanny ability to connect with people, you think beyond the problems of today.

Tips for the Author Humaniser type:

  • Consider your audiences' current circumstances and problems
  • Be specific by providing actionable step-by-step strategies to achieve a solution
  • Exchange vague metaphors with your real-life examples and experiences
  • Avoid "fluffy" or vague content that lacks an actionable takeaway

The Author Consolidator

Your lecture-stylized articles are practical, disciplined, and reliable. You are an advocate for something larger than yourself and believe in a foundation of tradition that can be used to build success.

Tips for the Author Consolidator type:

  • Think laterally by considering the past, present, and future
  • Be open to change when considering tradition and outdated practices
  • Allow readers the freedom to choose without passing judgment on their choice
  • Remember that belonging to a group is not important to everyone

About Marc De Bruin

Marc is a certified life/business coach, master NLP Practitioner, and Aus IDentities Personalities Facilitator on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. Joining EzineArticles.com in February 2006 to build exposure and publish his writing, Marc understands how taking a new step is a daunting task. By imparting his knowledge in a simple and effective way, Marc helps fulfill his readers and clients personal and professional goals.

"I walk my talk. I have practiced what I preach," he wrote. "It hasn't always been easy in my life and business, but it has definitely been educational and sometimes life changing. THAT's the 'stuff' I now aim to get across to my readership, so they don't have to go through many of the things I went through."

We'll leave you today with Marc's best advice for new (and struggling) Expert Authors:

"Just start off ... Practice makes perfect, and the more you write, the more you'll get noticed. Aim to have 10-15 articles up and running as soon as possible, and create a good profile for yourself. It's the number of articles - and obviously the quality! - that will create a readership."

Do you recognize yourself in one or more of the above author types? What's your author type? Do you have any questions for Marc? Share your feedback in the comments section - we'd love to hear from you!

Marc De Bruin "I am really grateful that sites like EzineArticles ..."

I have really loved my journey with EzineArticles so far. It's a great tool to use. I often consider the amount of work that must go into this site. If I had to do all that myself, I'd go mad! I am really grateful that sites like EzineArticles exist, as they make life for not-too-techie authors like me so much easier! And in a strange way, EzineArticles.com is somewhat of an accountability partner for me as well. If I don't post anything for a while, I start feeling guilty! Which makes me write, get noticed; which then motivates me to write more, etc.!
