I have decided that I wanted to try my hand at writing content articles. Can anyone give me any useful tips or a guide that you found helpful when writing your first article?
 
Not at first. I’d like to freelance to start anyways. Once I get a little practice I’d like to find my niche and design my first webpage cantered around my niche and maybe incorporate a blog into that. Does that sound like a responsible plan or what would you do different? I’m totally open for opinions and would like your viewpoint and advice :)
 
You should start a blog first, and practice your writing, so you have a portfolio that will allow you to show off to potential clients.

That makes sense for sure. So what website are popular sites for blogging? Do u have a personal preference?
 
I heard always make a outline and ask yourself questions as this improves the quality.
I’m definitely a planner so an outline for sure. It helps keep me on topic and helps with my whole thought process and transferring it into writing that somebody besides me could understand as well.

That's good! If you want me to look over something for free, shoot me a PM whenever.

I will for sure, well actually as soon as I can PM. I’m a noob so not able to pm as of yet. I’m going to follow you so I remember your username and hopefully I’ll be able to pm by the time I’m done my article :)

I think you should use google for this venture, you would get more useful steps there. But basically writing article involves getting know what you want to write about and how to make it catchy.
But use google.
 
Do not be scared of the subject. It might seem intimidating at first, but with proper research, you can write it fast.

Always prepare yourself for in-depth research and look beyond the first page of Google. I go through at least 5 of them.

If you feel that you do not have the specific vocabulary, research some more and find words that you can use. But, do not make it too complicated. It has to sound natural, yet knowledgeable. Also, in the beginning, you should write outlines - it is just easier that way, and it helps you stay on the right track.
 
Is your aim to make money or you're writing for your passion?

Either way, think about what inspires you and drives you. Start writing about it. Read a lot and try to be disciplined with your writing.

Post at least 1-2 posts per week and share it on your social media and with friends. Ask for their opinion and suggestions.

Remembering that there is always room for improvement is the key here. Also, use better writing tools like hemingway app, Copyscape and grammarly.

If you have grammarly pro you don't need copyscape
 
try a skyscraper technique where you identify already written articles, read them and come up with one article way better than all of them
 
Unique, quality and best represented contents are always attracted by the Google. There should be quality information with the keywords and use of informative images. The topics should accessed by the users and should get updated with the time. If you would like to post the content for the technical users then there should be technical terms, if it is for general category then the contents should be simple and easy to understand.

It is always recommended to have the contents with the combination of text and images so it become interesting for the users while reading and they got engaged with the same for the more time.

SEO point of view, you should use the keywords according to your contents though it is for general user or special users. Make sure to take the audience in consideration while writing the contents. You have to convert yourself according to readers.

Here are the important type of contents you should add while writing -

1. Infographics - The combination of information and graphics is nothing but the infographics. The content will be more easy to understand are infographics.

2. Videos - The interactive videos will always help to attract the visitors. Good communication and presentation skills are the key for making the videos.

3. Knowledge-base - Steps by step guide is always helpful to get more visitors. Just make sure to add quality tips and actual steps.

4. How to articles

5. Presentations - Slide shows with the information and images are also important type of the content.
 
Read a lot of the type of articles you want to write. That will make it easier for you to find your voice.

Spend some time reading books on syntax as well. There's always something to earn.
 
Article writing always needs something unique and one needs to be creative when wring.Nice vocabulary is highly enhanced and reading novels might help in this.
