Tips On How to Write Great Articles

When you want to write an article on any subject, it is very important that your article grabs the reader's attention, and is informative at the same time. You must have heard it said that while the destination is very important, i.e., the fact that reader reads through the article, so they get the whole picture, the journey should be interesting enough along the way, so the reader is engaged and does not stop reading somewhere in between. Here is a few points that might help you write good articles:

1- Article Title: Article title should be catchy, containing keywords for the search engines, but it should also be chosen in a way that it is chosen by the reader. If you include all the keywords you know in an article title, it won't make sense, and the reader moves on to the next article in the database.
2- When submitting an article, place the article in the right category or it will miss its targeted audience. When you want to submit your article, think in terms of what your audience is looking for, and then decide in what category the article should be placed. Although in most cases, the articles are accessed through search engines and external links pointing to the article, in some cases, the article is accessed by the wrong viewer, and they will refuse to read it.
3- Keywords: It's very important that you add relevant keywords to your articles. Before, articles were accessed through the search engines through their title and content keywords, but now articles are "Tagged", and those tags are indexed by Google, and so the article can be found no matter where it is on the Internet.
4- Article Summary: There's another integral part to articles called "Article Summary" In this section, you should tell your audience what your article is all about and whether it is beneficial to the reader or not. After reading this section, if the reader is not convinced that they are going to find what they are looking for, they will stop reading and move on to the next article they have found.
5- Images and Graphics: Including images and graphics in your articles help convey the idea behind words much easier. You must have heard it said that a picture is worth a thousand words. You can simply paste the image URL in your article and the reader will see the image along with the text. Including images is good way to engage the readers, and convey the idea much more efficiently.
6- Authenticity and originality: You content is very important in terms of authenticity and originality. What is so common nowadays, is that publishers and authors simply go read someone else's article, add a few words to it, or even in some case take a few words out of it, and then publish it. This is why our content on the Internet is growing in volume so fast, but most of what you might encounter when you search for something, are much the same thing. So the more informative, original, and authentic your content is, the more probable it is that the reader clicks on your link and go to your web site, which is why most people get into Article Marketing in the first place.

What is Rat Race?

Robbert T. Kiyosaki defines "Rat Race" in "Rich Dad Poor Dad" as follows:

"If you look at the life of the average-educated, hard-working person, there is a similar path. The child is born and goes to school. The proud parents are excited because the child excels, gets fair to good grades, and is accepted into a college. The child graduates, maybe goes on to a graduate school and then does exactly as programmed: look for a safe, secure job or career. The child finds that job, maybe as a doctor or a lawyer, or joins the Army or works for the government. Generally the child begins to make money, credit cards start to arrive in mass, and the shopping begins, if it already hasn't.
Having money to burn, the child goes to places where other young people just like them hang out, and they meet people, they date, and sometimes they get married. Life is wonderful now, because today, both men and women work. Two incomes are bliss. They feel successful, their future is bright, and they decide to buy a house, a car, a television, take vacation and have children. The happy bundle arrives. The demand for cash is enormous. The happy couple decide that their careers are vitally important and begin to work harder, seeking promotions and raises. The raises come, and so does another child and the need for a bigger house. They work harder, become better employees, even more dedicated. They go back to school to get more specialized skills so they can earn more money. maybe they take a second job. Their incomes go up, but so does the tax brackets they're in and the real estate taxes on their new large home, and their Social Security taxes, and all the other taxes. They get their large paycheck and wonder where all the money went. They buy some mutual funds and buy groceries with their credit cards. The children reach 5 or 6 years of age, and the need to save for college increases as well as the need to save for their retirement.
That happy couple born 35 years ago, is now trapped in the Rat Race for the rest of their working days. They work for the owner of their company, for the government paying taxes, and for the bank paying off a mortgage and credit cards.
Then they advise their own children to 'study hard, get good grades, and find a safe job or a career'. They learn nothing about money, except from those who profit from their naivety, and work hard all their lives. The process repeats into another hard-working generation. This is the 'Rat Race'"
