Make An Outline
Organize the article into main points or sections (A, B, C, etc.) These may be the headings.
Under each section include the important points you want to make (1, 2, 3, etc.) These may be paragraphs.
Fill in paragraphs with details and supporting information (using a, b, c, etc.) if necessary.

Use Proper Structure
Both your article and each paragraph should be set up in a similar way. Your article should include an introductory paragraph, three to five supporting paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph.
Begin each paragraph with a topic sentence, which introduces the paragraph’s main idea.
Include three to five supporting sentences and a concluding sentence.

Read What You Write
After you’ve written the article, take a break. Come back and read it from a visitor’s view. If you stumble over words or have to re-read something, it needs to be reworded.

Use Spelling & Grammar Editor
Use your document editor to identify spelling and grammar issues you may have missed.
Enable the readability feature. Depending on the software, it may give you the reading level and the average number of words per sentence. If the average number of words is more than 15, rewrite the longer sentences. The easiest way is to make multiple complete sentences.
