New people are coming in this spot everyday, and then they want to write their own Статья & I think it's about time someone wrote a detailed tutorial on how to write one, because it's no easy task. So I decided to do it. This Статья is mainly for people who want to learn, but if the experienced can think of any other tips, please comment.
Step 1: Think of a topic
Most of the Статьи on this site are opinion articles, like "My Избранное Princesses" или "My Избранное Princess Movies". These are fun to do, but be careful when choosing the Список Ты want to write. The best ideas for opinion Статьи are:
♥ Избранное Princesses
♥ Избранное Princess movies
♥ Prettiest Princesses
♥ Избранное Princess songs
...and many more. Ты can take a look at link because she has a lot of ideas for the traditional countdown article, and frankly, her Статьи are fantastic. If Ты want to do a informational article, like "The Meaning of Дисней Princess Songs" или "Alan Menken & his Princess Songs", make sure Ты do lots of research. Make sure Ты gathered all your information before even starting the article, and make sure the Статья hasn't been done before on the same topic.
Step 2: Think of a good Название & summary
Remember - the Название is the first thing people see. The first thing that draws them to the article. For example, a Название like:
"why I luvvv princess jasmen!!111!!!111"
Isn't going to attract any readers. No ones going to read that article, because they can already tell that:
1.The writer can't spell.
2.The writer can't use punctuation correctly.
3.The writer doesn't use proper grammar.
It's much like Письмо a book. If J.K. Rowling had named her first book, "harry putter n the sorcy stun", well...there goes her fame & money. So think carefully. What is your Статья about? If it's a countdown, a normal Название like, "My Избранное Princesses" will do. If it's informational, try to make it sound professional looking. Like, "Islam References in Aladdin". For your summary, it's really not as important as your title. In all the time I've read Статьи on Fanpop, I've really never read a single summary. The Название is all that draws me in. So just make a it quick, sweet & to the point.
"A Список of my Избранное princesses"
"References to Ислам in the movie Aladdin"
Step 3: Write & Organize Your Information
For opinion articles:
At the very beginning of your article, Ты might или might not want to write a quick intro to your article, explaining what it's about and wishing everyone a happy read. Ты don't have to, but it's not a bad thing to do. Next, usually you'd start with your bottom (princess, song, movie, etc.) and go to your top. When Ты want to make things bold & underlined, for example your subtopic titles to each paragraph about each (princess, song, movie, etc.) just look at the right of the Статья you're writing. Ты should see a box that says "Formatting Tips":
Use these instructions to spice up your Статья a little.
For informational articles:
The most important thing for this kind of Статья is ORGANIZATION. Ты want to section your Статья into different sections of information so Ты don't confuse your reader или get them off track. Great examples of this can be found in link and link. Use the formatting tips to organize your Статья too.
Step 4: Pictures
Even though it is tempting to do all your pictures first because they're the best part of making an article, I highly recommend Ты save the best for last. When doing opinion articles, Ты can find all pictures of princesses, princes, songs, and even movie titles at link. EVERYTHING is there. Bookmark it & never lose it. When Ты get the picture of the princess или other thing you're looking for, you're going to want to make it look beautiful because beautiful pictures in an Статья just make people want to Фан it just for the pictures. My Избранное photo-editing sites are:
♥ link
♥ link
When you've editing your pictures, follow these instructions:
To get your pictures Далее to the paragraph, put the alignment code on вверх of the paragraph. To put it under the paragraph, put the alignment code under the paragraph. A great example of fantastic picture alignments & editing can be found in almost all of link.
Step 5: Get People to Read it
Once you've re-read your Статья and feel like everything is perfect, click that Опубликовать button. Since everyone(including me) is too lazy to check the Статья section for new articles, you'll have no choice but to Реклама it. The best way to do that is to make a pick:
"Will Ты read my Статья on (insert Статья topic here)?"
Then give people two simple choices: yes или no. Опубликовать that pick, and then the most important part, PUT THE LINK TO THE Статья IN THE PICK COMMENTS. So when people see the pick and say, "Hey, sure I'll read your article!" and click yes, they can just click on the link and be directed straight to it. You'll get lots of Комментарии that way. Ты can also post the link on the wall, but trust me, the pick way is much еще efficient.
I hope I helped & I'm looking вперед to seeing all your new Статьи soon.
