Content is King so how is your lowly article going to get read by enough people to drive any traffic to your site. It’s simple really, make some one mad, make someone cry, irritate the hell out of someone, offer them hope or make them laugh. Basically stir up their emotions.

Good content is not enough. If you don’t drag someone into the article with a great title and an excellent first paragraph who gives a darn what your bio says. The bio is the point right? Unless you are just looking for a bunch of free links and aren’t really in need of high quality traffic to your site.

Take some of articles the top guru’s in the industry have written. Recently Mike Filsamie wrote an email about the paradigm shift in making money in internet marketing. The article he wrote nearly devastated my own belief in making money in my own online business and I have been making my living online for nearly 9 years. The title and the first paragraph drew me in until I ended up reading the whole thing. I honestly felt fear for my financial future.

It was a powerful email with a powerfully priced item. Mike pulled out all the stops in his emotionally charged article. Had I not already had a profitable online business I probably would have taken him up on his offer. Sorry Mike.

What Mike did so well was to create an emotion. Facts and Statistics are fine but what stirs us to take action is emotion. If your articles are all fact and create no emotion then who cares about going on to find more dry facts at your web site. Your articles will fall into the depths of article directories everywhere and be a big fat waste of your time.

So back to the beginning.

Ask yourself. What about your topic is going to create an emotional reaction. Any topic can create emotion in the right audience.

Let’s take something truly mundane. Laundry. I currently wash clothes for 5 people. I hate laundry. I hate lugging the detergent, I hate folding it, I hate collecting it, I hate putting it away. Now there’s an emotion for you. Hate. I mean what about laundry is great? The only thing about laundry that could be considered remotely good was going to the Laundromat while I was in college. Why? Because all my friends were there and the Laundromat served beer. Any way back to the point…

Let say I want to drive people to my site about laundry with an article — Everyone has some level of disdain about doing laundry so we know there is some emotion.

I could right an article titled, “How to Do Laundry.” Wow, that title will bring em in for sure. Now try this. Hate doing laundry? Use these steps to cut your laundry in half.

Now I have connected to my audience with an emotion. Hate. I gave my audience a solution. Put the two titles in an article directory and the Hate doing laundry title gets clicked and how to do laundry dies. If you continue the sentiment down into the article with a mix of solutions and interest you’ve got your self an interested prospect that may very well end up at your website.
