One of the very best type of articles to create is one containing short tips or snippets of information about a specific subject.

Such articles takes just a short time to create and requires no special writing skills and, unlike longer information products, such as reports and books, they can be created in whatever time the writer has available, even minutes every few days will do.

Also unlike longer written types, there's no requirement for writing to flow, for one paragraph to lead neatly into another, no need to worry about overuse of specific words. That's because each tip is a separate entity, focusing on the main key word or phrase, so as such multiple use of the main key word or phrase looks entirely natural.

Get your tips by searching Google for 'xxx + tips', where xxx is your subject matter. Open your editor program and cut and paste tips from other sites or make short notes about those tips. When you have sufficient, say twenty for a list of ten tips, save your file and leave it for a few hours. When you return to it later, with a fresh mind, read those tips and rework them into your own words. You must never use other people's words in your own articles, that is plagiarism or even breach of copyright and you could be sued. However, there is no copyright protection on ideas or concepts, only the words used to convey them.

So don't copy too closely, just go through the text rewording each tip, remove any duplicated from the original items, save your work and leave it to one side for a day or so. Then go back to read your work, making improvements, removing duplication, and try to weave more of your own wording and character into the tips. Remove any that sound weak or contrived. Count how many tips remain and determine whether to use all in one article of ten tips or break them into two or three articles of four or five tips each.

Use the word 'Tips' in your title and give the appropriate number. This tends to create a more visually appealing title that gets more clicks and more visits to your web site.
