5 Easy Steps So Kids Can Write Articles Too

5 Easy Steps So Kids Can Write Articles Too
By Kenton Verhoeff

I learn at home, and mom insists that writing is important. I agree. But, I dont like to just write for a grade, so I wanted something more important to do with my work.

I write articles to sell my books. Its called Article Marketing.

I write some articles about things I wanted to share, and Mom gave me a list of topics I could write about. (She copied them from the ezinearticles.com site.)

I picked some topics and started organizing my work. Theres a simple five step process that I use to write almost everything.

First Step

Pick a topic and write a question or thought to introduce the idea I want to write about.

Second Step

Write a paragraph or two about the topic. Answer the question I asked, or expand my idea.

Third Step

Tell something about the idea. Why did I want to write about it? What makes it important.

Forth Step

Solve any problems I created with questions.

Fifth Step

Give the story a name. If you use something like steps in your title people read it a lot. They like catch words like easy, simple, and magic too.

Then you put it all together, count the words (I use word count), and put it in the submit place on ezinearticles.com Your article has to have at least 250 words to be qualified.

I try to write more words, but some articles are just short. Mom says my articles should be between 400 and 700 words. But, she said thats for the best noticed articles.

I use keywords in my articles so people can find them online too. This article is about Article Marketing for Kids.
