At the end of the day, Alice Wrighter collapsed on her couch next to her husband, and exclaimed: “Wow! I’m exhausted, but I didn’t finish one article!”
Her husband turned to her and good-humoredly said, “Well, honey… I know Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Picasso, commenting on blogs, web surfing, reading the news, email, and playing Angry Birds is part of your creative routine, but wouldn’t it be better if you concentrated more of your efforts on building your article library? You know – so you have a solid foundation for your connections to link back to, which will serve as concrete evidence of your Expert Author status and take your credibility further?”

Imagine for a moment …
You woke up early this morning, and you’re motivated and ready to write and submit several new articles to take your article writing to a new level (on a Saturday, no less).
You turn on your computer, and as the machine boots up, you consult your article idea notebook and start brainstorming in your head about your first article.
With confidence high, you open up your word processing program and an Internet browser window to check emails. Suddenly, a message pops up on your screen, “Network Connection Failed. Try Again Later.”
You think to yourself, “Ugh, not again,” and you proceed to reboot your Internet router. As it’s rebooting, you start typing the article and put checking your email on the back-burner. An hour passes. You finish the article, and, after a quick review, you’re satisfied with it.
You go back to the Internet window to submit your article to EzineArticles and the Internet is still down. You try everything – rebooting the router again and then rebooting the whole computer – nothing works. You’ve been hit with a case of Internet downtime that’ll last until you can get in contact with your ISP.

Who’s Your Audience?
Before you start writing any article, one of the first things you need to ask yourself is “Who’s my audience?”
Here’s a quick primer to help you answer that question (which can be quite a complicated one):
- Is there a level of familiarity between you and your audience?
- Are you writing for colleagues or someone else?
- How do they expect to receive this message?
- Are they looking for some level of interaction?
- Are they more interested in being spoken to with direct messages?
- What’s their connection to the topic?
- Is it for their business/livelihood?
Answering each of these questions will put you on course to figuring out how formal (or informal) your writing ought to be.
An informal writing style shows a level of familiarity and personality that sets it apart. Meanwhile, formal writing most often takes place on serious topics in a direct and succinct way.

Don’t just dream of highly-targeted traffic, live it.
The #1 way to get more highly-targeted traffic to your website is to write and submit more new articles to directories like EzineArticles. Each article is a new access point that can help interested readers connect to you and your business.
With all else equal, a set of 10 articles consistently outperforms one article by itself in just about every statistical category. Although this traffic equation rings true, for many people it doesn’t do complete justice to the topic. For example, if you’re writing under time constraints, you’d want to know how you can become a more efficient and effective writer.
With a little extra effort on your part, the “More Articles = More Traffic” equation can be tinkered with to your advantage.
