What type of article should you write? Did you know that there are different types? There are! In fact, here are five kinds of articles: the tips article, the story article, the personal experience article, the facts article, and the recommendation article. Let’s take a look at them.

1. Tips Articles

The tips article provides the readers tips on a individual subject, such as how to quit smoking or how to design a website that converts well. The tips may be numbered, or laid out with bullets, and the title should include the amount of tips that will be covered, for example: "ten tips to help you quit smoking now."

2. Story Articles

The story article is precisely what it says. It is used to tell a story that is not necessarily the writers own personal experience. The story may be real or it may be fiction, but it will almost always be about somebody else. The trick is to keep the reader reading!

3. Personal Experience Articles

The personal experience article will be be about you and an experience that you have had that will relate to your niche market in some particularlly way. For instance, ‘How I Quit Smoking’ would most likely be a personal experience article.

4. Facts Articles

The facts article is simply an article that informs, using proven facts for content. For instance, "What Smoking Does To Your Body" would be a facts article, because you have medical science and research to pull from to provide content and back that content up with scientific proof.

5. Recommendation Articles

Finally, there is the recommendation article. You must be very careful with a recommendation article. These are used to promote a product, but the content of the article should be informative in nature. For instance, if you are recommending a patch to help one stop smoking, the article cannot be ‘salesy’ in nature. It must inform. For example, you might discuss the problems of skin irritations with using such patches, and use facts or your own peresonal experience to show that a particular patch doesn’t cause the irritation that others do.

Many writers often combine several different types of articles into one article. You can do this as long as you try not to run over 750 words in length. The most improtant thing to do is to choose the article type you need to convey your message and get readers to visit your website.
