Your bullets should have short and simple information for readers to digest. Bullet points are aides that help readers quickly scan articles for interesting info or data. Readers don’t always have the time to read everything, so consider if what you are saying in one bullet gets to the gist of what you’re article is saying.

The point of bullet points is that they are short and sweet. You don’t want complicated full sentences clogging up your easy-to-read article. Short phrases are more than enough to get the point across to your readers.

There should be an order to your bullet points. How you do your first bullet should be how you do the rest of them. For example, if you choose to write a one line bullet point, the rest should follow suit.

You need to keep your readers interested with bullets resembling mini-headlines.

Use the bullet points to capture the attention of your readers,and explain the bullets further in your article. If no one found your bullets interesting, they probably won’t find the rest of your article attention grabbing either.

There should be structure to each of your bullets. If you begin each of your sentences with a form of action, do so with all of them. You need to have uniform points.

As you can see, writing your own bullet points is not hard. All you need is to give it some thought and organize your information well!
