Writing Articles About Psychology - Think Before You Write

Okay so, as a prolific online article writer, I've written a ton of articles on psychology. Perhaps it's just that I have a fascination with the human brain, and I'm always trying to understand what makes people tick. Why you ask? Well, because and I am certain you will agree, humans often do some of the strangest things, and for the strangest reasons. What makes them do this I ask? And interestingly enough there are a number of people surfing around the Internet asking the same question, they are looking for information on the topic, they're looking for insight because they don't quite understand it all either. Okay so let's talk about this shall we?

It appears to me that there is such a thirst for this type of information that it makes sense to produce quality online articles in this category. The articles I write on psychological topics always get lots of article views, and they've generated quite a few inquiries into the think tank that I run. Now then, perhaps you have a different reason for wishing to write articles about psychology, but if you have the expertise, experience, education, or an abundance of knowledge on the topic then you could provide much-needed content online for Internet surfers who wish to look things up.

The first thing I recommend is to consider some of the questions that people are asking, and perhaps typing directly into the search engine. Might I suggest that you use such questions as the title of your article? Further, you should adequately answer the question to the best of your ability, perhaps citing actual research papers which you might be able to find on Google scholar. This is important because in reality you'll only be able to explain the basic concept to the individual reader, and they will need to look up the rest online for more information, if they're interested.

No, most of your readers will not search out those references, as they will be satisfied with your answer, just make sure your answer is correct, and that you are not giving bad information out there. Sometimes I wonder why people are so interested in the topic, but maybe it's because they find themselves different than others, and they wonder what makes them different, or what's wrong with them. It's nice if you can write an article and explain to them that they are not abnormal, and put their mind at ease.

That's not always possible, because some people are pretty screwed up, but you need to be gentle if you are talking about psychological abnormalities. Well, that's what I've learned, and that's my advice to you. I wish you all the success in the world as you are preparing these articles, and I hope that you will write that with integrity, empathy, and help the world to the knowledge they seek. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
