Strategy including headlines, structure and content are the most important aspects one needs to look out for when starting to create an article.

I started off with an 18mins input on drafting articles:

  • Easy steps to make your articles more attractive
  • Structure: The inverted pyramid and front-loading
  • How to feature people in your articles
