The dissemination of virtually any information is best delivered in a simple and logical progression of facts. In this piece I’m going to lay out a formula, or template for writing lucid, informative articles that virtually anyone can follow. Let’s take a look at how you can do just this consistently.

What I’m about to outline is no secret. Good articles most often consist of three simple elements. Those are: an introduction; the ‘body text’ or the actual info; and a conclusion. But such names are stuffy and not very telling as to what they really mean. A simpler way to describe such an outline would be this: Tell ‘em you’re going to tell ‘em. Tell ‘em. And tell ‘em you’ve told ‘em.

It’s pretty simple really. Look at the way this article is unfolding. My opening paragraph briefly explains to the reader what he can expect. From here, I explain exactly what I mean, which is what this section is all about. This progression makes things easy for both the writer and the reader. It reduces writing to a simple formula, that when employed consistently, will ensure that your information comes across in an easy and understandable format.

Are there better ways to write? Perhaps. But for anyone getting started as a writer, this format is a great way to consistently get your point across – and better yet, to have people understand your point. Of course, it’ll still be up to you to research your topic. And you’ll also need to arrange your facts in logical order. But once you know exactly what you want to say, your best bet for saying it so your audience can make sense of it all is the format I’m using here.

Why is that? Because when a reader absorbs your opening paragraph, she knows what to expect. Go back to the first paragraph in this piece. Is there any confusion as to what you’re going to get if you keep reading? I see none. The body of the article, or the actual meat comes next. As I’ve already mentioned, you’re going to have to actually deliver useful information on your topic and make it clear. But that isn’t difficult if you know something about the subject matter or are willing to do a little research.

With your introduction followed by the main body of text out of the way you simply need to give a brief summary of what you’ve covered in the actual article. And that brings me to my own wrap-up for this piece.

We’ve looked at a simple method for writing articles using a simple formula. And to keep it simple I’ll once again state the formula in layman’s terms. Here it is:

· Tell ‘em you’re going to tell ‘em.
· Tell ‘em.
· Tell ‘em you’ve told ‘em.

With a little practice using this recipe you can consistently turn out articles without the anxiety that might come from using other more chaotic methods. Good luck with your writing!
