How to write a successful tutorial or article

In this article I will try to explain how you can create a quality tutorial or article. What is a tutorial? What is an article ? Well to be honest both are quite the same. Tutorial is associated with the word computer. When I say tutorial, what am I thinking off? A computer tutorial: something like an adobe photoshop , adobe illustrator, programming , database tutorial. Article, on the other hand , is something like cat, dogs , business, advertising, management , people , health article. But ask yourself : is not the same thing? People say : How to make a cat play? As a title. Well what is this? A Tutorial or an Article?
Now, how can you create a quality article or tutorial? Just follow 7 easy steps:

a) You must never write your article or tutorial with a commercial thought. Try to be honest and tell people exactly what you want to teach them. Do not write it with the purpose of advertising your product or your website only , write it because you want to teach people something too.

b) If it is possible try to use as many images as you can. People love articles or tutorials with images. Every step you explain in your writing must have an image attached. In this way people understand better what you want to teach them. Some websites accept images and some don’t accept them.

c) Try to explain every step. Do not just enter a phrase like: See image attached or Click here. If you have an image explain what is in that image.

d) If you are promoting your product using articles try not to repeat the same keyword over and over again. People doesn’t like this and its quite unprofessional. I know its good for SEO but lets try to provide a quality article and not just some text that advertise something.

e) Do not write long articles. If readers open your article and they see so much text they will probably quit reading it. Try to use maxim 1500 words. If you are using images try to reduce words to 700.

f) Use bullets , numbers , lines , bold text , color text for the important parts of your writings. Do not just type it down with arial size 2 and that’s it. It will be boring.

g) Use your reference box wisely. Do not just type there
your website. Tell people something about you and then point them to your website. If it is a low quality website is better not to post it in resource box. Maybe you will have visitors but they will not stay or come back to your website. And maybe they will not want to read your articles anymore.

I hope this article will help you write good stuff. Hope you enjoy it and I will be back with more articles for you.
