Examples of Syndication Quality Articles?

by Willing2Learn

Hi WF'ers.

I have a question for those currently using article syndication to their advantage...

I've been reading everything I come across regarding the subject because I'm ready to dive in to the realm of article syndication + info product creation to see how I can make it work for my most beloved niche.

I understand most of what is required but unfortunately I'm still not sure what to aim for in terms of writing an article that is deemed "syndication ready". I know that it's best to write 1000+ words of provocative and entertaining content, however, I'm asking the syndication experts on the board to kindly point to a few examples of actual articles they think are syndication worthy.

Of course, these examples need not be your own or anything to do with any niche you are involved in for privacy's sake. I am just looking for real world examples of what we're trying to achieve with syndication level content vs just writing "any old article".

Thanks and I'd really appreciate it.

    Interesting enough, just yesterday, while reviewing my website's referral stats, I came across this syndicated article from a while ago - and the subject of the article itself has to do with content creation, curation and syndication!

    So it makes for a nice example like you asked - take a look here on SiteProNews

      Thank you so very much for this. I enjoyed reading your example. Very well done. I've never heard of content curation and it's interesting stuff. Kudos.

      I hope to see some more examples of syndicated articles with a range of different "tones" and "voices". Yours nicely represented the authoritative expert.

      I'm curious to know if anyone ever takes a "laid back", talking-to-your-buddy type of approach to article writing and actually gets that syndicated.

      Hi grandstar. Fortunately, in my OP I did state that it does not have to be anyone's actual article, just an example of an article they think is syndication worthy. Even more fortunately, I believe that I can and will achieve this (oh so very simple) and any other goal I choose to set for myself.

      Thanks for the feedback.

        Hi Willing

        A number of articles in my blog, especially those in the "Article Marketing" category have been syndicated. They are two or three years old, but the writing style etc. has not changed one iota. In (I think) two cases, I was actually approached by webmasters requesting permission to syndicate as opposed to me contacting them.

        BTW - as far as I know, SiteProNewsis comprised entirely on syndicated content so everything will be a great example for you.

        Good luck

          Many, many thanks to you Annie! I feel like I've just won the lottery. It's amazing how kind and helpful successful people like you are are. Especially when you are not afraid to simply ask for help.

          Off I go to explore!

    I just want to update this thread for anyone who is interested in article syndication and is clueless about what goes into making a piece syndication worthy. Check out the links above provided by DrMani and Annie because they've really helped me a lot.

    As I look around and am reading more on a wide variety of websites I started noticing that certain articles really stand out and I can almost tell when they are syndicated.

    An important thing I imagine is having the ability to stand out among the competition in your niche. So I am going to use that thought to look at what the writers in my niche have to offer on Ezinearticles and see if I can present my concept in a way that gets attention.

    Today has been very eye opening and I am truly grateful for the help I've gotten.

      Thanks for the suggestion...but I'm only interested in article syndication (which I don't think is what you're suggesting).

        Print media magazines and newspapers are great places for article syndication. Over the years, I've found that it typically involves more work/time/effort to get articles syndicated offline, but it's really worth it.

          Here's another example of quality writing of the kind you're looking for.

          There are archived articles that you can review. The quality is excellent.

            Oh wow Alexa...I never even thought about attempting to get my articles syndicated offline. I know that's what we're going for but to be totally honest the thought of hundreds of thousands (potentially millions) of people reading my work makes me kinda nervous. I'll keep this in mind for when I get over my initial stage fright.

            Thank you so much Steve! I'll take a look and come back with some thoughts later.

    I think I've satisfied my curiosity enough to know the type of writing required for effective article syndication.I see why not everyone can and will pursue this as an avenue for traffic building purposes and it really boils down to one thing. Quality.

    That's the only way to make this work. Unless I'm willing to spend the time it takes to produce a quality piece or pay someone else well enough to do it for me it's not going to be as effective as it could be.

    This is exciting and intimidating and the same time.

    Do you guys think I should take a writing course to get ready?

    I'm not the worst writer, but I'm far from being the best and I think that's going to be essential for me to succeed like you guys (who are obviously very good at this and have tons of experience).
