If you want to be a tip writing expert there a few tips you should know about writing tips first. Follow my tips below and you’ll be writing your own great tips in no time.
Choose a Topic
You can literally give tips about anything, trust me. I’ve written tips for finding discount patio furniture sets, biting like a vampire, breaking up with your boyfriend and everything in between. This topic you choose for your tips article doesn’t really matter. You’ve just got make sure that it isn’t so broad that 100 or more tips will be needed, but it also can’t be so narrow that only 2 tips will suffice. A good tips article will contain at least 3 tips, but 5 are certainly more ideal.
Write and Introduction
If the title is even a little ambiguous, your tip article is going to need a brief, concise introduction before you jump right into the tips. Anywhere from 2-5 sentences will be perfect. If your title is explicit in meaning such as “5 Tips for Snagging a New Boyfriend” then an introduction is really up to your personal preference. You can just jump right into the tip giving if you want.
Each Tip Should be Unique
Don’t let your tips bleed into one another. Each tip should express a particular idea or notion otherwise your advice may become confusing. You want your readers to be able to refer back to your tips without re-reading the entire article. It’s best if you can give each tip a subtitle in bold to make the specific idea more clear and definite.
