The Topic
So, first things first. You need to pick a topic that is popular and which you think will get a lot of views. The topic you choose should be interesting and you should know about it too so that it is all your own and you don't need to copy from somewhere. Remember an article that is declined is a waste of your energy.
The Title
The title of your article should be catchy and interesting as the first thing people see is the title. If the title sounds interesting, they will open your article.
The Description
The description too should be catchy and interesting since it is also the first thing that the viewer reads when he opens the article.
The Body
The article you write should be of good quality .You should never ever copy from somewhere as it would be cheating and chances are it will get declined and like I said earlier –an article declined is a waste of your energy. Try to write your article in paragraphs with headings for each paragraph. And if you are writing a guide then it is a good idea to write an ending note at the end.
The Digg
When you write an article you can Digg
it. Digg is a site which lets you display your content for free and this in turn will help increase the views your article gets and as we all know-more the views, more the $$.
