How to learn to write articles and where to get inspiration?

Now more and more people need the ability to write quality articles: bloggers, journalists, advertisers and even students. It is useful for business, hobbies, and self-development. How do you learn this?

How to write articles?
To succeed in this field, you must follow at least a minimum of rules. Moreover, they do not need to be taught, it is enough just to remember! We were all taught to write articles at school in Russian lessons. Remember how you puzzled over your essay on War and Peace? This is copywriting.

First you need to choose what to write about. In fact, it is not so easy to find an unused topic that will also be of interest to a large number of people. There is another option - to write about what you like, but first look at what search engines give for this query on the first page, and write better. Much better!

Sometimes, of course, you just want to write about something, regardless of the "weather". About your mood, impressions of the film, thoughts about life. If you want - write, but do not forget that this topic may be unpopular.

Before you start writing, you need to collect as much information as possible, find a couple of fun facts, some statistics, analyze it all, and then draw up an article outline. Of course, for those who have been writing for a long time, in most cases a plan is not required: the writing scheme itself develops in the head, it becomes clear what and why to write. But for a beginner, in order not to sit in front of a blank monitor, it is better to immediately sketch out a work plan.

Usually an article consists of the following parts:

Announcement - a summary or just an explanation of why you decided to write about this topic (this is often done by bloggers who write in the first person). It must indicate why this article will interest the reader and what he will learn from it.
Introduction - facts, existing views on the problem under consideration, statistics. Questions that you want to address in the article.
Your vision of the problem and theses are the largest part of the article, where the author expresses his opinion and argues it, makes comparisons, reveals the topic. The main task here is not to pour water, to write only to the point. Whether the reader sees a professional approach to business, whether he finds fresh thoughts on this issue and whether he feels the author's style, it depends whether he stays with you or not.
Conclusions and recommendations - a conclusion about what the author wanted to convey to readers.

The outline may vary depending on the topic, author's style, text size and other factors. In addition, it is not necessary to write in order, because no one sees that you started from the middle or even from the end. The main thing is to start. A clear picture of the future article will gradually develop.

If the inspiration is gone, don't force yourself to work. Better to get up from the computer and do something else: have tea, wrinkle a pillow, wash dishes, warm up, or take out the trash. After 10 minutes you can return to work.

When the article is ready, let it rest and look at it the next day - you will find a lot of interesting things, maybe even rewrite everything. The final version should be carefully checked for errors. You can use special services for this.

Why do we write
When you have your own blog and you need to constantly write there, motivation becomes one of the serious problems. How to write articles, if the blog is young, brings some losses, the cat cried a lot of visitors, but there are no comments?

In general, everyone has different motives: some blog for the sake of money, the second - to self-actualize, the third - because everyone does it. Therefore, for some, the best motivator will be a photo of an expensive item on the desktop, for others - the first real money earned on the Internet, and for others - the attention of readers and their comments. First of all, you need to sit down and think about what motivates you best.

My motivation is a desire to share information, leave useful thoughts for readers. To be not just an observer, but also a creator, a little creator. There is, of course, laziness, and sometimes this state lasts a long time, but we are all human. Sooner or later, inspiration comes or an event happens that you want to talk about, and everything returns to normal.
