Probably one of the worst mistakes any article writer can make is to write in a way where the reader feels absolutely nothing after they are done reading. This is like the kiss of death to any writer. There are many ways to make your reader feel something. This article is going to cover a few of those ways.

One way to make your reader feel something is to take a very strong stance on something. Let’s face it, opinionated people usually bring out the emotions in others, especially if those opinions are very strong. Writing about topics that are very controversial, such as abortion, drugs and anything related to sex, usually bring out the emotions in people…especially if you take a stance that isn’t very popular. This is almost a sure fire way to light a fire under your readers.

Another way to make your reader feel something is through the compelling and heart warming story. People love to be moved and touched. There are many people out there who love a good cry. The key is knowing who your audience is. For example, if you’re writing articles for the Nascar racing crowd, I seriously doubt that these people are in the mood for a good cry. On the other hand, if you’re writing articles for cancer survivors, this is a great way to get their attention. You just have to know who your audience is.

Finally, there is humor. Who doesn’t like to laugh? Now again, you have to know who your audience is. The cancer survivors might not find much humor in telling jokes related to cancer patients. They might find it in poor taste. On the other hand, the Nascar crowd might be more receptive to humor. And if you’re writing for writers, humor could be extremely effective in making them feel something.

Whatever you do, don’t be bland. If you write like a wallflower, people might notice you, but they’re not going to give you a second glance and it’s the last article they’re ever going to read that you’ve written. That translates into a stillborn writing career.

Now if THAT thought doesn’t make you feel something…nothing will.

Now go out there and make them feel something…anything.

To YOUR Success,
