}

Step 4: Write Articles

Write each article in markdown format with:

Hook (First 100 Words)

• Start with tension or pain
• Use second person ("you")
• Create immediate recognition
• No fluff, straight to the point

It was 11 PM on a Tuesday when Sarah finally broke.

Her inbox had 47 unread messages. Three different spreadsheets were open, each showing conflicting numbers. The board meeting was in 12 hours, and she still couldn't answer the simplest question: "Which campaigns are actually working?"

Sound familiar?

Body Structure

• Short paragraphs (3-4 sentences max)
• Subheadings every 200-300 words
• Bullet points for lists
• Bold key phrases
• Images at logical break points

SEO Integration

• Primary keyword in first 100 words
• Keywords in H2s naturally
• Related terms throughout
• Internal linking opportunities

CTA Integration

• Soft CTA after introduction
• Related CTA mid-article
• Strong CTA at conclusion
