What makes an article exciting and entertaining?
Part of the internet riches series.
If you now your marketplace and it’s something your familiar with and have passion about then there’s a good chance your audience will have as well. If you haven’t already you should find your passion.
But Here’s a quick list of 5 reasons which is no way them all.
1. It’s really really new, your breaking news.
2. It’s poetic or beautiful.
3. It makes the reader feel special. (As if it’s been written with love for their eyes only)
4. It touches the libido unfortunately we are all sometimes baser beasts.
5. It makes the reader laugh.
I listed some article directories a while back check them out for sources of information.
However you can and should look at some of the news sites here are a couple of the mighty ones.
