The reader will just quickly disregard the complete paragraph or article and move on to much easier articles that are good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word! Usually paragraph contains just a few short sentences.

  2. Make Use Of Numbers Or Bullets
    As each main point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can easily and quickly make the point pleasant to read, remember and digest. As each point, tip or guide is started with a bulleted point, readers will know that this is where the tips begin and getting stressed. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your written article won’t look like a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and pizazz to your articles format to make easy for the readers' eyes.

  3. Use Sub-Headings To Sub Divide Your Paragraphs For The Article In The Page
    Doing this will help to break each point into sections but still would be incorporated into one whole article. This will help and make it easy for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition would be smooth and easy. You will never lose your readers attention. They are likely to follow the point and direction to where the article is pointing.

  4. Write A Good Attention-Grabbing And Impactful Title Or Header
    If your title can attract a person’s curiosity and attention, you are already halfway in getting a person to read your article. Use strong statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for and are attracted by them. Provide titles or headers that best describe your articles content but should always keep it short and concise. Use titles like, “Hot Tips On How To Make Her Love You More”, or “How To Lose Weight In 30 Days Flat” or "
    The Benefits Of Cardio Training And Exercise". You could also use titles or headers in your articles that can command people, for example, “Make Her Attracted To You In Six Easy Ways”. These types of titles reach out to the emotions of people and makes them interested.

  5. Keep Them Interested In Your Article From The Beginning To The End
    From your opening paragraph of your article, try to use real life situations that can be related and adopted by the reader. Use good and impactful descriptions and metaphors in your articles to drive in your point, just remember not to over do it. Driving your examples with some graphic metaphors and similes would make it simpler for the readers to imagine what you are talking about in your article. Making the experience interesting, pleasurable and enjoyable for them.

  6. Utilize Facts And Figures When Necessary
    Do not just make use of ordinary and insipid statements. Using specific facts and figures can enhance and heighten your article because it makes it more authoritative. But do not make it look too formal, it should be light, easily flow and understood. Like a friendly teacher imparting her knowledge gently to an eager student.
