Keyword research+ enticing title + grammar and spelling error free article+ good article flow+ related photos and products = a good hub
The art of wiritng good articles is putting yourself in the reader's shoes and thinking about what they would like to know about.
The secret is that you shouldn't really be writing for yourself, you should be wriitng for your audience.
That means creating interesting, compelling and engaging articles, broken down into simple, easily understandable parts, explaining things clearly and getting your point across.
NOPE...it's so secret, that if I told you, it would endanger all our agents in the field!! Besides, then I'd have to come up with some OTHER "secret" method and that's just too much like work.
I'll give you a clue, though; if you're boring, your articles will be boring. If you've got nothing to say, you won't, no matter how many words you put down.
The key to good writing - articles, or otherwise, is constant practice. The more you write the better you get at it. I've written a couple of hubs on how to improve your writing - tricks that I use.
The main point to being a good writer is to write - daily and a lot. practice, practice, practice.
The rest of the time is spent promoting, researching, organizing, planning etc.
Most of my topics come after my silent sitting meditation. Some topics also come from dreams, for example: http://quirinus.hubpages.com/hub/Soul-a … Experience and http://quirinus.hubpages.com/hub/Aspect … le-Destiny
Thanks for asking!
I'd say it would be having an idea pop up that can be expanded on. You do this just as much to clarify the idea in your own head as you do to inform a reader.
It is said that Sir Francis Bacon - a contemporary of William Shakespeare (Some even say that HE wrote the Shakespearean plays) propounded that:
'Reading maketh a learned man, Writing an EXACT man, and discourse, a ready man.' We need to place our emthasise equally across all three of these and we really do become the 'rounded man' educational-wise.
I suggest a lot of reading across a wide range of topics will fill you up with plenty of ideas to draw on. Once you have a few, just start writing. Don't worry too much about the writing's quality apart from determinining to keep editing and improving it. It will improve of its own accord.
Good luck, son.
There's no secret, I think, if there is, it's the mystery that lies obscurely inside your head waiting to be written in a piece of paper or be typed down in front of the computer.

How many articles do you typically write in a day?If you write articles for websites, hubpages or to sell, how many do you tend to write in a day? Does it depend on how quickly you type, or does it take practice?

I see a lot of queries about getting traffic, lack of traffic, how to increase traffic, etc. The long answer is it takes time, hard work, good writing skills, mastery of the formula, surviving Google algorithms, and persistence. The short answer is figuring out the secrets of online writing and how...
