How to Motivate People to Read Your Article

 Here's How to Get More People to View Your Content

It’s really not all that difficult to get someone to read your article.  You just have to structure it so your reader feels compelled to read it.  There are three ways of doing this.  First, create an interesting title.  Second, create a compelling motivator.  Finally, provide good examples of support. 

 Create an interesting title by answering a burning question.  For example, I know for a fact that there are a lot of people who HATE to change the water in their aquariums.  “Isn’t there an easier way to change the water in my aquarium?” is an example of a burning question.  “How to Clean Your Aquarium Quickly and Easily” is an example of an answer to that burning question. 

 Let’s move on to the compelling motivator (aka the first sentence).  Create the first sentence by converting the title into a topic sentence and attaching a three point blueprint (aka the thesis with blueprint).  This will let the reader know what he can expect if he continues to read your article.  “This article will show you how the Roboco Automatic Aquarium Water Changer will allow you to change the water in your aquarium in less than fifteen minutes, without disturbing the fish and without spilling a drop” is an example of a compelling motivator.  One thing to point out here; the three blueprint points should be listed in order of importance starting with the most important point first. 

If you truly believe the Roboco Automatic Aquarium Water Changer is the greatest thing since the Roboco Automatic Bread Slicer then providing examples of support for each of the blueprint points should be a piece of cake.  Simply provide personal examples, site statistics, and/or include statements by authorities and customer testimonials.  Read the following examples of support for the three blueprint points: 

Once everything was hooked up I turned on the water and began vacuuming the gravel at the bottom of the tank.  It was amazing!  I have a 55 gallon tank and I was able to change out the recommended amount of water within 15 minutes.   

I have a very large and jittery catfish who likes nothing better than to lay around on the bottom of the tank all day.  Previous attempts to clean the aquarium resulted in frightening him to the point that he’d flail around sending debris all over the place.  Not only did this make it impossible to thoroughly clean the tank, it put a lot of extra pressure on the tanks filtration system.  Using the Roboco Automatic Aquarium Water Changer I was able to clean the tank without disturbing the catfish at all!  It was as if I wasn’t even there.  I even bumped against him a couple of times to get to the gravel beneath him and he just moved out of the way. 

In the past I’d spill water all over the place getting the dirty water into the bucket and then getting the bucket to the tub and then getting the bucket with fresh water (to which I’ve added an assortment of chemicals) back to the tank.  Using the Roboco Automatic Aquarium Water Changer I was able to connect one end of the unit to my faucet and the other end (the vacuum end) into the tank.  I turned on the water, flipped a directional switch and totally vacuumed the bottom of my tank in about 10 minutes.  Then I flipped the directional switch again and filled the tank in about 5 minutes.  And because the water was being aerated at the faucet I didn’t have to add any chemicals!  Thanks to this excellent product my tank and the water in it has never been cleaner. 

And that’s all there is to it to get someone to read your article; great title, persuasive motivator and plenty of good support.
