Use These Tips For Your Article Body

Article publishers have some more or less common standards If you're writing you article and you want to publish it on some website such as keyknowhow.com,then you should consider following easy to implement tips

Number of words per article

Most article publishers wan't even consider your article (some of them will, indeed) if it contains less that 400 words. Majority of article publisher like to see articles with approximately 400 to 1200 words in each article. Optimal length would be ~750-800 words per article.

If your article is too 'wordy', then have this in mind

If you're accustomed to write longer articles, then take into account that reader on the Net don't like to read too long articles as their attention span is simply not long enough; a lot of info, so they want new and fresh things, not dwelling on one thing too long. So please be reader friendly writer and prepare shorter and more concentrated articles for them to read; put valuable info into your articles. Isn't a readability and usability one of the prerequisites for any article? We believe it is.

Repeating title in your article body isn’t good practice

Article body if for article text, so please avoid tempation to put article title in it, just for the sake of getting some extra words in the article. It isn’t good practice and your article will not be accepted in most cases. Consider collect more info and writing about each point you collected, instead.

Introductory paragraph is wanted

Article publishers (who approve and publish your article on the end) like to see good introductory paragraph explaining title in some way. You should avoid putting first subheading immediatelly bellow the article title. Give your readers some introductory info, explaining what your article is about. Introductory paragraph is really recommended so it shouldn’t be replaced with bullet or numbered list either.

Put your author info at the bottom of your article

At the bottom, yes. Not in the article body; the author info should appear only once and be last info given in an article. Telling your reader who you are in some parts of your article body isn’t good practice; for instance: “In this article by John Smith will described…” or “I’m John Smith and I’m going to tell you...”. Only text related to theme you’re writing about, not text about you.

Put your copyright notice, eventualy, at the end

If you ever need to put some copyright info, then don’t put it at the beginning or in the middle of your article. You can, maybe better, add it to your About the Author box. Copyright notice isn’t related to your article title in most cases.
