Discover How To Successfully Catch Your Reader’s Attention

As you scan every word of this article you will begin to discover tactics for writing articles persuasively and hypnotically. Starting with the basics, in a few short moments, you will find a strategy that you can follow to successfully capture your reader’s attention.

This simple strategy for persuading people is not a new tactic. The Greeks used it long ago and Aristotle wrote it down for them about 2500 years ago. The great Greek orators were taught by him to make speeches and have their say.

His formula was:
Exordium: An amazing statement or story to get attention.
Narratio: Pose the problem the reader is experiencing.
Confirmation: Offer a solution to the problem.
Peroratio: State the benefits of action on the solution.

This formula is very similar to the commonly known advertising formula known as
AIDA: Attention, Interest, Desire, Action.
Here the advertiser catches the potential buyers attention, makes him interested enough to listen, causes him to desire the product enough to take action, i.e. buy the product.

By using both of these strategies you can have a formula which answers four questions to make your writing simple and on track.
1. Are you getting attention with your opening? 2 Are you stating a problem the reader cares about? 3. Is your offer something that will really benefit? 4. Are you asking the reader to take action?

Indeed, when article writing it is important the consider these questions but when writing like this there are a few more important pointers. These are 1.Getting the reader’s attention by having a hypnotic, enticing and attractive title
2. Having content that is of high quality, valuable, clear and easy to read so you can show them you are solving their problem
3. Making sure the article is written to get the reader to want to know more and follow your call to action
4. And if you are using articles for your internet marketing then writing as many articles as possible, at least two per week is necessary.

1. Getting The Reader’s Attention By Having A Hypnotic, Enticing And Attractive Title

A hypnotic, enticing and attractive title is the first point to catch the reader’s eye and it makes a promise. It needs to be hypnotic and persuasive enough for the reader to not move on by.

With the abundance of information available online you have a very short span of time to capture your reader before he is gone afain. And people only read articles that they think they are going to get something out of – remember concentrate always on what they are getting.

There are a number of persuasive words you can use to make your title irresistible.
Start by using words like:
Unlock…
How to…
Learn…
Discover…
Insane…
Proven…

And then you can go on to use other hypnotic words in the rest of the title like: announcing, astonishing, exciting, introducing, breakthrough, how-to. Hypnotic words like these mesmerise the reader and humans are inquisitive by nature and cannot resist a challenge!

2. Having Content That Is Of High Quality, Valuable, Clear And Easy To Read So You Can Show Them You Are Solving Their Problem.

The opening line is the next most important part of the hypnotic article. Here is where you give your next promises and hint at what is to come: As you start reading the beginning of this article you find yourself… As you scan every word of this article you will be amazed at what you’ll learn… You donot know this yet, but very shortly you are going to learn…

Then as you write the rest of the article bare in mind the ground rules. Make sure the article is clear and reader friendly. Write good grammar. Have plenty of white space, keeping paragraphs short, use sub headings, bullet points, pictures, easily understood language and write passionately and talk to your readers as if they are a friend.

3. Making SureTthe Article Is Written To Get The Reader To Want To Know More And Follow Your Call To Action

One of the main reasons for writing articles is to generate traffic for your site, business or product. Keeping the reader interested is key. Still, readers cannot read your mind and they need to be persuaded as to what they must do. Be commanded to act and click on your link. Focus on what your reader wants and keep their interest in mind while you lead them to your site!

With practice you will have readers begging to want to know more, rushing to your link and telling their friends. So write with passion, be seductive and care about your readers.
