For your next article, consider how you can identify with your readers by promoting how they can achieve pleasure.
Let’s get started.
To identify what is pleasurable for your audience or their pleasure principles, we need to address two simple questions:
What do your customers enjoy or want to experience?
How does your niche deliver those experiences?
For example, imagine the article you’re going to write using this template is targeting small business owners who are curious about article marketing. Some pleasure principles you may consider:
Pleasure of gaining a competitive advantage.
Pleasure of having traffic.
Pleasure of building credibility.
Pleasure of increasing visibility and brand awareness.

Successful articles are a combination of your expertise and creativity. Many Expert Authors attempt to save time by skipping creativity altogether. The effect can be likened to packing for a trip to Antarctica at the last minute. Without the necessary equipment and supplies to withstand the South Pole’s temperatures, you may just end up blindly packing anything and missing critical items.

Checklists, outlines, brainstorming, etc. all connect to an often overlooked practice known as prewriting.
Prewriting occurs before writing, proofreading, and editing. When done effectively, prewriting makes writing so easy – all you have to do is add a little polish here and a transition there and voila! Your article is ready for submission.
Here’s a great prewriting exercise to build your article writing momentum and infuse your creativity into your next set of quality original articles. (Continue Reading…)
