By Luis Galarza, Knol This your Google Knol How to resource.

Don't kill your chances to create good Knols with offline writing styles!

Remember that Google Knol it's not a newspaper or a book, where some type of writing can be easily turn into a successful article or chapter, when writing your knol make sure you remember that people is in the front of their computers reading your article, and computer screens can be a little hard on the eye, and for that reason offline writing tips will not really work in the Internet specially with the new web 2.0 or social web where everything needs to flow naturally.

Is true writing for the web is a bit different than writing for regular offline publications, that's why I decide to help you with this Google Knol writing tips that you can use right away, I'll be posting more writing tips for you in later articles, but for now this few tips can get you started in the right path, I learn this tips from years of article marketing:

Through A Good Bait.
On the web you don't have much time for first impressions, actually you only have about 4 seconds to grab your visitors attention, so you need to write headlines/titles and sub-headlines that relates directly with their "wants" or "needs", make it controversial, write a quote related to the content, or present statistics data, just use your imagination and create a good hook that will grab them by the eyeballs and turn them into your readers.

Conversation Is The Key.
The web is a social communication tool and for that reason people feel comfortable when they read something that is in plain easy to understand English, so avoid trying to become a know it all snob, because online that doesn't cut it. Now, because Google Knol is being compare with Wikipedia, will not be smart to use slangs in your content, slangs are OK for articles, blogs, Squidoo, Hubpages, etc. but not for Knol, so just stay far from it.

Educate Them.
Most people use the Internet to find information about something or someone, they want to be educated by an expert on the feel. So, when presenting your content make sure that you are answering their questions, teach them the how, the why, and the when the right way in a step-by-step style. Even if you are using Knol to promote your business or affiliate programs, don't try to make the sale there, instead educate your readers about your products or your niche and let them decide to visit the other site for more information. Provide quality content that is worth reading, that will increase your credibility and your web authority in your niche.

The Spelling Bee.
Not quite, but make sure you check your spelling before publishing your new knol. Also use basic grammar so your content can make sense to any of your readers. A good way to spell proof your content is by let someone else read it for you, or if you are a solo writer just read it loaded for yourself twice, and hear if you find any discrepancies, that you will need to fix before publishing.

Make It Easy To Read.
You can do this by separating your information in small paragraphs without loosing the flow of your content, also is good to use sub-titles that will give a taste of the content to busy people, this will help them decide to read your article now or to bookmark it on their browser for later reading and give them an easy way to find specific information in your knol. Also use bullets when referring to multiple tips or ideas.

Go and start a new article in your niche by using the above Google Knol writing tips, just keep writing to help you unleash your inner writing style.
