Things You'll Need:
- Computer
- Word Processor
- Time

Step 1
In the old days writing an article meant writers would use a typewriter to publish articles or books. They would feverishly type the subject matter and clank away. If they needed to start over or didn't like the page they would simply turn the roller and zip out the paper, crunch it up and shoot the wad of paper into the nearby trash can.

Step 2
Today you just turn the computer on and use your word processor and type away. If the article page isn't to your liking you can hit the delete key or re-edit over and over until it is just right. Man I love technology don't you?

Step 3
There is no excuse not to write. Always write about your passion your knowledge and what you want to convey to your visitors, customers, friends and colleagues. Always write naturally and above all be yourself.

Step 4
You do not have to be a Rhodes scholar to write articles now days. You only need basic English, grammar, spelling and punctuation. Did you know most Internet readers read at the 8th grade level....yea this is an amazing statistic. If you don't believe me just do a search for "Reading Level of the American Audience".

Step 5
The most important part about writing is the same as public speaking. Be yourself ... just write as if you were speaking to me directly. Try to add some humor in your writing and don't just write crap. Write what your website or blog is about be passionate and above all have fun writing.
Writing articles can sometimes be a bit intimidating. All kinds of questions can creep up in your mind. What if nobody likes them? It's embarrassing if someone reads my writing?
