As someone who is new to Article Writing you should realize that there are some techniques that will markedly help you produce an effective and successful article.
Yes, you could try writing on your own but that would take a lot of time and, just like any new job, it's better if you have someone to show you the best way to write an article.
Here are 3 foolproof techniques to help you write great articles:

1. Write a compelling title.
   Your title is what attracts attention from the readers.
   You must write it to attract people.
   Your title should also show the reader that your article will help solve their problems or answer a specific question that they have.
   A good way to ensure that your article will get noticed is to put your main keywords in the title, preferably as the first words.
   If that won't work then try to place the keyword somewhere else in the title.
   
2. Know what to write about.
   Do not make the newbie mistake of writing what you want to talk about.
   Write instead about what people want to read! What you should do before you begin writing your articles is ask the people on your list to tell you what they want to learn.
   If you don't have a list, then visit your niche forums and see what problems those people are discussing.
   Then if you write your articles based on the needs of the people, you will have given them what they want which should lead to many readers joining and they become potential buyers of your products.
   
3. Have a great call to action.
   If you don't ask your readers to click on the squeeze page link in your article, you will lose the chance to sign up many subscribers to your list.
   Believe it or not, many article readers won't click that link without being prompted - people need to be told what to do! Instead of using 'click here' as a link you could say something like 'if you want more information about (your niche), then please download my free eBook called 'abc'.
   Your readers are already interested in your information and are looking for more.
   Now you are offering a free gift plus even more great material if they click through to your squeeze page.
