================== ARTICLE START ==================
Do you have trouble getting started writing an article? One of
the toughest obstacles in article writing is actually starting
the article writing process. No matter how many articles we
write, it is something we want to avoid because we sometimes
don�t know where to start. Since article writing has become a
form of marketing that almost anyone can do and afford, now is
the time to take on this challenge head on.

Creating an outline is one of the best methods to use when
writing an article. Having an outline provides a foundation of
your article. In other words and outline gives you a starting
point from which you can build into a story. An outline will
make the article writing process easier and faster.

Brainstorm

To start off your outline, brainstorm and jot down your ideas.
Set up about a 15 minute time frame and write freely. Try not
to over think when you are writing down your ideas. This
process does not have to be formal so write freely. Think of
some ideas you would like to cover and supporting points for
that idea. Review your notes and now organize your outline.

Organize the Outline

When you organize your outline, identify and ensure the purpose
of the article. The purpose of the article should help you
figure out the introduction of your article. Then identify key
points of your article. Now that you have a frame for that
article, you need to come up with ideas supporting those key
points. As you come up with more supporting material your
outline will build and you�ll have an expectation of the length
of the article.

After this process you should have an outline of all of your
paragraphs (i.e. the body of the article). You now need to
outline a conclusion. The conclusion outline should be similar
to the introduction of the outline and supportive of all the
main points of the outline.

Create the First Draft

Now you should have enough material for a first draft of the
article. Your draft should be a similar process to your
brainstorm. Just write. Don�t worry about being perfect. Think
of it this way, no one will read your first draft. Plus, you
will be refining the draft into an article. As you move through
this process, you will see the article form.

Always refer to your outline and let it serve as the central
point to your article. From my experience it is very easy to
move away from the purpose of your article. Your outline will
keep you on track to the purpose of the article (is you use
it).

An outline does not only provide a plan for your article it
serves as a way to get started with writing the article. Your
outline skills will be something you will refine with practice.
You�ll build momentum to creating the first draft of your
article. You will eventually trust your self and become a very
productive tool in writing articles quickly and effectively.
