How to Create a Good Article
By Andrew Stark
Here's some simple advice that will help you write better articles...
A Good Intro
Be up front and tell people what they are going to learn in the first paragraph. Time is short on the internet and people want the information now rather than having to wade through pages of filler.
Don't Keyword stuff
If you're doing your research and using Google alerts for your keywords you will soon find that most of the articles you find are total rubbish. Hint - cheap article writers are cheap for a reason!
The same is also true for many article spinners, the only part of this business that should be automated is the submission, it really is dull and really is just copy & paste. :-)
Be Positive
I know that bad news travels faster than good, but when did bad news ever make you take out your wallet?
The whole point of writing articles is to drive traffic to your website and get people to join your list, buy your product, or take some sort of positive action. If your article gives actionable advice that helps people they will want to find out more about you and click the resource link at the bottom as a very warm prospect.
Good Formatting
Long pages of text with no breaks in the formatting make for dull reading and can turn the reader off faster than a page of flashing banner adverts. Make use of sub headings and write in short paragraphs and keep sentences short and snappy to drive the reader to the end of the article.
The Strong Call To Action
As you get towards the end of the article be sure that you have written everything that you set out to achieve in the title and that all important first paragraph.
Then lastly it's the all important resource box...
My advice here is to create a swipe file based on the best article writers in your niche and use that to drive hyper targeted traffic back to your website.

Danny Glix Artworks
Today, in a moment of morose strangeness, I searched for 'meaninglessness existence' in google images search, so amongst other interesting results, I was guided to the flickr account of artist Danny Glix. He has a very unique motto :)
"I struggle with the meaninglessness of existence, and I value cosmic wonder / speculative theory of ultimate empirical purpose, as a worthwhile endeavor. Hobbies include tripping hard and playing with claydough, also staying indoors"
Huff, maybe because he used the word of 'meaninglessness of existence' in his motto, hence my searched results also includes his flickr link. Alright, let's talk about him for a moment...*I've already seen his work around the web before since I am an avid reader of art blogs, so it must be discussed right? :p.
Danny Glix flickr contains many trippy sketches. I think all of them are his artworks because many of it used 'Glix' watermark, but there are also some works of collaboration mixed in. His sketches use a variety of colors, bold and bright, and illustrate freedom and humanity. Hmm, no wonder if he has a motto that involves 'meaninglessness of existence' words :).
The art really spoke to me, and has a definite sense of existential overdose. Well, some people may not like it, but I am a fan :p. He showcases works about aliens, and purpose for the world. There are funny machines for dissecting aura from the populace and crazy stuff I could never dream of. He has weird alien creatures and spatial texture patterns. this is definitely the works of either a madman, or someone from the future who has returned in a time machine. Check it out if you want to send your brain on a spiral of confusion and a trippy visual stimulation.
Okay, that is the story about 'meaninglessness of existence' and Danny Glix...* I will definitely be sharing some of his work on my other blog which is more related to art :p.
