Writer Training Guide

Follow this guide to write articles that get published quickly, rank on Google, and earn you more views.

📋 Article Requirements Checklist

Every article you submit must have all of these. Articles missing any item will be sent back for improvement.

✅ 1,000+ words — minimum word count
✅ 3+ Heading 2 (H2) — section headings (NOT typed as text!)
✅ 1 image per 500 words — inside the article body
✅ Featured image — uploaded before submitting
✅ FAQ section — "Frequently Asked Questions" with 3-5 Q&A
✅ Conclusion — "Conclusion" or "Key Takeaways" at the end
✅ Original content — no copy-paste from other websites

📝 How to Create Headings — Step by Step

This is the #1 mistake writers make. Headings must be created using the editor dropdown, NOT by typing "H2:" as text.

1 Type your heading text in the editor (e.g., "What Is Freelancing?")

2 Select/highlight the heading text with your mouse

3 Click the "Paragraph" dropdown in the top-left of the toolbar

4 Choose "Heading 2" for main sections or "Heading 3" for sub-sections

Here's exactly where to click:

Step 1: Click the "Paragraph" dropdown → Step 2: Select "Heading 2" for main sections

❌ Wrong vs ✅ Right — See the Difference

❌ WRONG — "H2:" typed as plain text
Wrong way: typing H2 as text in the editor
✅ CORRECT — Real H2 headings via dropdown
Correct way: using Heading 2 from dropdown menu

⚠️ Also Wrong: Just making text bold is NOT a heading. Bold text and Heading 2 are completely different things. You must use the "Paragraph" dropdown to create headings.

📄 Perfect Article Structure

Here's what a properly structured article looks like in the editor:

Complete article structure with proper H2 headings, H3 sub-headings, and images
A well-structured article with proper H2 headings, images, and clear sections

And here's the structure template you should follow:

Opening paragraph about your topic...
🖼️ Image related to the topic

🔷 H2: First Main Section
Content about this section...
🔹 H3: Sub-section (optional)
More details...

🔷 H2: Second Main Section
Content...
🖼️ Another image

🔷 H2: Third Main Section
Content...

🔷 H2: Frequently Asked Questions
🔹 H3: Question 1?
Answer...
🔹 H3: Question 2?
Answer...
🔹 H3: Question 3?
Answer...

🔷 H2: Conclusion
Summary of key points...

❓ FAQ Section — How to Write It

Every article must have a FAQ section. Here's how:

1 Create an H2 heading: "Frequently Asked Questions" (using the dropdown!)

2 Write 3-5 questions as H3 headings (e.g., "How much can I earn?")

3 Write a short answer (2-4 sentences) under each question as normal paragraph text

Example FAQ:

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I earn from Article.pk?

Your earnings depend on the views your articles receive. You get a share of the advertising revenue your articles' paid views bring in, and the rate depends on the reader's country.

How long does approval take?

Most articles are reviewed within 24 hours. Follow all guidelines to avoid delays.

🖼️ Adding Images

1 Place your cursor where you want the image

2 Click the image icon 🖼️ in the second toolbar row

3 Click "Upload" tab and select your image file

4 Add a description in the "Alternative description" field

⚠️ Image Rules:

  • Upload images to Article.pk — do NOT copy-paste images from Google or other websites
  • Do NOT hotlink — images from other URLs (CNN, Google, ChatGPT) will be rejected
  • Use high-quality images (minimum 800px wide)
  • Add at least 1 image per 500 words of content

🚫 Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Typing "H2:" as text — Use the Paragraph dropdown instead
  2. Making text bold instead of heading — Bold ≠ Heading 2
  3. Missing FAQ section — Every article needs 3-5 FAQ questions
  4. Missing Conclusion — Always end with "Conclusion" or "Key Takeaways"
  5. Submitting same article twice — Check your dashboard first
  6. Copy-pasting images from Google — Upload your own images
  7. Less than 1,000 words — Short articles will not be accepted
  8. No images inside article — Add 1 image per 500 words minimum
