Leave your reader hungry for more arguments or information on your main topic. You are not writing a definitive piece on the topic, so remember to leave the reader hungry for more.

Provide plenty of interesting information points that will keep your audience thinking about this topic. If there are facts you must leave out it is cool. Additional facts may-will lead to additional articles. Maybe end with a part two, three., if you so desire.

Finally, You will want to tie in your closing with your opening so you may want to add a phrase similar to :

  • For even more helpful advice and information on ‘article topic’ go to ‘link website, or email, etc.
  • It’s really a nice touch if you can tie your closing in with your opening
