Types of Articles You Can Write

What type of article should you write? Were you even aware that there are different types? There are! In fact, there are five types of articles: the tips article, the story article, the personal experience article, the facts article, and the recommendation article. Let's take a look at each type.

The tips article is of course an article that provides the readers with tips on a particular subject, how to stage a home  or the advantages of FHA loans.  The tips may be numbered, or laid out with bullets, and the title should include the number of tips that will be covered, such as ten ways to stage your home os 5 advantages of FHA loans. I am sure you get the picture

The story article is exactly what it says. It is used to tell a story that is not necessarily the writers own personal experience. The story may be true or it may be fiction, but it will almost always be about somebody else. The trick is to keep the reader reading!

 The personal experience article will be about you and an experience that you have had that relates to your niche market in some way. For instance, "How I got a investor financed" would most likely be a personal experience article.

The facts article is simply an article that informs, using proven facts for content. For instance, "What sells in this market" would be a facts article, because you have research to draw from to provide content and back that content up with proof.

Finally, there is the recommendation article. You must be very careful with a recommendation article. These are used to promote a product or service, but the content of the article must be informative in nature. For instance, if you are recommending an FHA loan, the article cannot be ‘salesy' in nature. It must inform. For example, you might discuss the problem of low credit scores, and use facts or your own personal experience to show that FHA loans accept lower credit scores than conventional loans do.

Many writers often combine different types of articles into one article. You can do this as long as you don't run over 750 words in length. The important thing is to choose the article that you need to convey your message and get readers to visit your website.
