This is a question almost all article writers for websites ask themselves at one point of their lives or another. As article writers, they are like machines that are churning out content at the rate of even about ten articles per day; but in the final reconnaissance, will they be counted as professional writers or not? Will their writing be deemed as something creative or will it be looked upon as a commonplace factory product?

Now this question is really a subject of debate and everyone has their own perspective on the issue. Most people would say there is no creativity in online article writing and it is merely a production of words. But it is necessary to know the intricacies of online article writing before framing any opinion.

Let us ask ourselves a question what are online article writers trying to achieve through their work? The answer most certainly is, business for the website, either through an increased traffic or through actual online sales. Working towards this end is never simple. It is very difficult to sell something without a physical presence. This is what online article writers strive to do. They are not physically present there, only their articles are. And their articles have to be so superior that the person reading the article must buy the product that is displayed in conjunction with the article on the same website. Isnt this a daunting task?

Definitely the article is a failure if the visitor turns back and does not make the purchase. Of course traffic would be generated, but no actual sales. The article would not have fully succeeded. Though the responsibility cannot be laid on the writer in its entirety, but there is always one nagging doubt in the mind of the website owner: If only the articles on my site were better, I could have got better sales!

Now, we are able to understand the full implication of the importance that article writers for websites all over the world have. Without good article writers, whole websites would fail. People use the Internet for getting information. Without good articles, these people would not be able to get the information they need.

Therein lies the creative satisfaction of the online article writer. This is a breed of writers who are not satisfied simply with their literary talents; their satisfaction comes when readers of their websites respond to their articles with message posts, or better still, buy the products and services the website is selling. When we think about the whole issue from this point of view, we realize that online article writers also must have several talents in order to make their articles a success. They are playing for indeed high stakes here! The future of the entire website could be in their hands, or rather in their typing fingers.

Even so, online article writers do try to satisfy their literary pursuits also. It is almost clichd to tell that website articles need to be in a very simple language so that people from all walks of life can understand them. The article must be interesting enough to hold the appeal of the entire world population. Online article writers try to use a language which would not only be simple, but the flow of the language would also create reader interest. This is one of the hallmarks of a good Internet writer. The content on several articles could be the same, but what differentiates one from the other will be the style and the language used by the writer. This is where the creative satisfaction of the writer comes in. Each writer tries to write in a better manner than the other writers on the net. When the article really shapes out well, the writer gets his or her creative satisfaction.

One more challenge is to write several articles on the similar topics, and still make them look drastically different from the other. The articles must also not look one bit like the original articles they were sourced from. It is the writers work to make the article get a different identity through his or her language and ideas. Perhaps this is the greatest creative satisfaction the writer can get.

When all these points are taken into consideration, surely nobody would say anymore that online article writing is not creatively satisfying. This is the literature of the modern times, and the article writer may be no Shakespeare or Hemingway, but they do have their creativities in the right place.
