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.

✅ 800+ 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. More views = more money. Top writers earn PKR 5,000-50,000 per month.

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

  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 800 words — Short articles will not be accepted
  8. No images inside article — Add 1 image per 500 words minimum
