Best Way To Write Articles

So I have had questions about how do you actually write a proper article for affiliate marketing purposes. It's a natural question for most guys new to article marketing, nervy and worried about whether their first article would be the right article.

There are 2 schools of thought as to how you can write your articles. Either you portray yourself as an expert specializing in the subject matter. OR you could just be a friend who discovered a product/idea/technique which you know would be useful to someone you know.

I personally prefer the latter. Considering you REALLY are not an expert, you can really sound sucky if you try and pretend to be one. Just read most of the articles you see on EzineArticles.

But writing as a friend... that is different. It comes off easier as you can let your writing be as natural as can be. This way the words get to flow out confidently off your fingers, you do not have to worry too much about being 100% perfect, and your article would sound much more genuinely trying to help your reader.

With this approach, there are a few potent words which would make your article soft-sell the offer at the end (where you put your links to the affiliate site). What are the words? "I personally feel", "What they claim", "You could possibly".

Why are they great words to use? By writing this way, you do not sound pushy to your readers. Remember how you hate going to that electronics store and get pestered by the salesguy to buy the product they recommend? You don't want to do the same with in your articles!

So again, write as a friend. I stress that again - write as a friend! I'm pretty sure you could possibly see the readers taking a liking to your writings then :)
