When you’re given a task, make sure you SPLAT plan it first:
S - Style (what style have you been asked to write in e.g. leaflet? Letter?)
P - Purpose (what are you trying to achieve? e.g. to inform/ persuade?)
L - Language (what ambitious, effective words will you use?)
A - Audience (who’s your audience? Who are you talking to?)
T - Tone (what tone will your writing have? How will it sound? e.g. sad/ persuasive/ sarcastic)
Persuasion is everything. The article or persuasive writing can be seen in the best written pieces. It could be articles, blog post or of course, well know for that, sales pages.
There are 3 main important factors that if implemented in your writing can really make a difference.
I try to use those 3 important factors of persuasive writing in just about all my article marketing campaigns.

This is a fascinating photo and would be great to use as a prompt for descriptive writing, involving: pathetic fallacy, mood, atmosphere and senses.
“The first thing that happened is I uploaded it and looked at it and called my girlfriend in. I think at that point we knew it was a really cool photo. It was something I had wanted to photograph the two years I had been here, but I didn’t really think anybody else would look at it.”
–Amateur San Francisco photographer Phil McGrew talks about his photo of a lightning strike that went viral.
