I have seen some technical articles with really good content, but bad structure.

No matter how good the content is, bad structure puts people off from reading your articles!

So, here are 6 tips you can use to improve your articles straightaway! 👇

1/ Split your articles into sections

Don't write everything in one section because it makes it difficult to read. Moreover, it also confuses the reader.

See the two pictures - which article is easier to read and less confusing?

2/ The layout is important

A proper layout makes an article easier and more enjoyable to read

Make use of:
- whitespace
- bullet points
- headings
- sub-headings
- images

Once again, compare the two articles without headings and bullet points.

3/ Write for clarity

Avoid using fancy words and terminology, if not needed.

If you can simplify your article, do so. Your job is not to sound smart, but to be as clear as possible.

4/ Split your text into paragraphs

Sometimes, I see articles that have 1 or 2 enormous paragraphs.

It's incredibly tiring and difficult to read such articles.

Compare the two images - isn't it harder to read the article with those walls of text?
