An Article is basically a piece of writing usually intended for publication in a newspaper, blog, magazine or journal.

Article writing is an easy way to promote your products or services without spending a dime. Writing effective articles and putting them on the internet takes a bit of time, but once you set up a system it is very easy to do.

First, you need to understand what an article should contain and how it should be written to be most effective. Articles should be more than 300 words and they should be written around a single subject.

Here at Coloured Scribes we take it as a point of duty to not just inform talented Nigerian writers on latest writing job openings within the country, but also to provide guidelines on how Nigerian writers can improve on their craft.

In this article we’ve decided to share with our readers some effective guidelines to help improve their article writing craft.

If you want to be an outstanding article writer, you should not only follow the guidelines below but make them a habit.

1: Reading and Learning from Other Writers: Almost skipped this point, but then I realized no Human was born a writer. I recall my college days as a Philosophy student. Taking lectures on Epistemology (One of the branches of Philosophy), the course lecturer would always quote John Locke’s claim, “that the mind of Humans at birth is nothing but a blank slate.” One of the basic tips to enhance your article writing skill is by reading other articles and learning from established writers. You should notice the writing style and start picking up new words to enhance your vocabulary.

2: Writing Early in the morning: This might sound weird, but it’s a proven method. Morning time allows you write fresh stuffs. Wanna know why? A good night rest gives your brain new vigour. Moreover the morning atmosphere seems still and energetic, which can help you improve article writing skills right away. Give it a try and feel the fresh experience of being a healthy writer. I’m sure it won’t hurt you.

3: Completing your articles in various stages: First and foremost it is imperative to analyze the topic you’re about to write on. Research well on the topic before commencing writing; Secondly, you have to make a list of some ideas on the related topic; Thirdly, string words together that pertain to the topic you’re writing on. Let words become sentences and let sentences become paragraphs related to the article’s topic. Fourthly, you need to edit your article and clear out all jargons. Lastly, never publish an article without properly proofreading.

4: Writing Regularly: As we all know Practice makes perfect. If you want to be a good writer you must make it a habit to write regularly. Regardless of the negative reception a previous article you wrote in the past got that shouldn’t stop you from writing. Rome wasn’t built in a day, getting to the pinnacle of the writing industry won’t come easy, but regular writing would surely facilitate your speedy ascent to the top of the food chain among writers.
