In this article we will discuss the basics of how to write an article, tips for choosing topics, and how to get started in online writing.

 

How to Write an Article

 

If you can put together a basic article like you did in English class, then you can do online writing. To refresh your memory, here is an easy way to construct a paragraph. The "Hamburger Paragraph" is a simple model which I was taught in school. There are other ways of creating articles, but this is a good simple one that anyone can follow. The concept follows the idea of 5 sentences, but you can alter it of course.  

 

The first paragraph is the introduction (the top bun). In this sentence you will state your topic belief, the objective or purpose. The next three sentences are used to prove your statement. These are the insides of the hamburger: i.e. the cheese, lettuce and 

hamburger patty. The final sentence, number five, is used to conclude your paragraph. This is the bottom bun of your hamburger. In this sentence you will restate your main statement and any claims which you have backed up by the three previous sentences. You are finished! See how easy that was? Here is an example:

 

Cats are a nuisance and not suitable pets for families with young children. They often have trouble using their kitty litter box and will miss their target, getting it all over the floor  causing a big mess to clean up if the kids don't get into it first. Cats make loud 'meowing' noises which can keep napping children up as well as get on anyone's nerves. Cats have a mean streak about them and have been known to strike out and scratch an innocent child or even bite them. If you have ever owned a cat, you will indeed agree that they are a nuisance and not a suitable pet for families with young children.

 

Using this model, you can grow your paragraph to a larger one by increasing data and proof to back up the statement. You can also prove a number of statements. Turn it into an article by having the first paragraph state your position. The next three or more paragraphs can be used to prove your claim(s). And finally, the last paragraph will restate your claims and conclude with a small summary of the results described in the previous paragraphs.

 

Choosing Article Topics

 

There are a variety of topics that you can choose to write about. When choosing topics, it is preferable to go with those that are familiar to you, if you have a choice. Make sure that you can write intelligently about the subject. This may involve doing a little research first, before you begin. Or, maybe you have something important to say or some interesting tips to share with others. Choosing good subject matter and writing it well will help you excel in online writing.

Mobile marketing is making use of mobile phones, PDAs, and other mobile devices with phone or internet connectivity to spread information or generate sales by targeting key customers and buyers. It is a way for companies to make their customers aware of their products, promotional offers, and other services that they can make use of thru the use of their mobile phones and other gadgets. Mobile marketing is like advertising on billboards but is more direct and accessible to most consumers.

There are several kinds of mobile marketing such as marketing via SMS, via MMS, via in-game mobile such as PSP consoles, or mobile web marketing. Other non-traditional mobile marketing would be via Bluetooth technology or via Infrared. There are hundreds of mobile marketing companies that offer IT services for other companies who would like to get involved in this kind of marketing strategy.  Sumotext.com offers Text-2-Join solutions or Text-4-Info solutions, which are short code SMS alerts sent to customers whose numbers were taken from a mailing list or customer list, which are taken from online records.

Mobile marketing campaigns consist of announcements, promo codes (for customers to use to get discounts just by presenting the SMS message on their phone to the store personnel), promo downloads (where customers have a chance to win raffle prizes), and other ways where the company can involve their prospective customers.  When using SMS marketing or other mobile marketing strategies, it is also important to consider the location of the customer, their occupation, the personality or profile of the target customers, and why they need to use their mobile devices in order to tailor-fit the marketing campaign to their needs and interest.  Mobile marketing is probably the fastest way to reach people especially during these times when mobile phones and other devices are ways to get things done more quickly even when on the go.

Some of your friends who would like to help you generate income will forward your message to their friends, and their friends will do the same to their friends. The next thing you know, your product launch is jam-packed.
