The quickest way to write article.
With all the tip websites, and online forums, there is no need to come with all the content off the top of your head.

However – never take another persons word or article, do not even copy a sentence, that is illegal

Learn for their content, find similar content, until you have a good understanding of the topic, then write the article in your own words based on what you have read and learned from all the articles that you have gathered from the Internet.

Where to find good Information.
If you want to write an article on “how to loose weight - for teenager’s”, search Google or any one of the major search engines for “weight loose forums” how to “diet” or something similar, have a look for forums and discussion boards for the same topic.

Now all you have to do is read the posts and the various responses and use this information to write your article.

If you find a great information product on clickbank, or any of the other affiliate programs that is the same as your article, you can promote that product at the same time. So now not only are you are writing a great article to promote your Squidoo Lens but you also are getting money from your article when people click on your affiliate click.

Another place to gather information is at the “Frequently Asked Questions” at FAQ.org and groups.google.com.

Remember to keep your article short, to the point and with loads of helpful tips and good advice.

How to Write your article title.
Your title is one of the most important parts to your whole article, this is what gets peoples attention, whether they decide to read your article or to pass it by.

Your title must convey exactly what you are offering in your article, think of the following titles,

“help your teenage children with their weight” or “diet programs for teenagers”, these are kind of boring and do not really stand out.

“7 steps to an active & energetic teenager” – this title is much better.
