Summary writing is not easy and it does take time to master a few of the basics. It is as just as important to be a good summary writer than it is to be a good title writer. This article is going to go into the reasons why you need to spend a little time with the summary of your article.

After you have done your best to take the reader from the title into the first paragraph, through the heart of your article, you need to do one last final thing. That one thing is writing a summary to bring it all together. Your summary has to be just as good as your title and opening paragraph. It is the summary that will take the reader into the resource box. For most of us, the resource box is the golden key to turning a reader into a potential customer. Yet without a compelling summary, the reader will lose faith that the information provided in your website will not help them find the answers they seek.

A summary should be a combination of all the key points in your article. Don’t give it all way in your summary, but give enough information to keep your reader curious. A curious reader will always click into your main website.

Here is an example of a closing summary:

Using the best of your abilities to write a closing summary is definitely your goal. Remember there are three main points leading up to your closing summary, the title, opening paragraph and body of your article. These main points must flow like a river right into your summary and out into your resource box. With a little practice you can master the art of summary writing.

See how I did that? I never really said how to master summary writing. I left the reader engaged and wanting to know more about the mechanics of summary writing. Now it is time for you give it a try and write a few closing summary paragraphs. Read them to a family member or friend. Your best critics are the ones closest to you.
