Writing a quality article is never an easy task, but have no fear, Moon Bounties are here! We are here to provide nice tips and tricks to help your article reach the stars and get you some lovely rewards. :)
How to write a high-quality article about any project?
The main reference for your article should be a whitepaper, of course. All relevant info about the project is usually there. The article needs to be written in a persuasive style and with good grammar. Things that can help:

Besides that, an explanation of the concepts should be clear and concise, without unnecessary complications. When writing you can follow a somewhat standard form with the following elements:
Introduction
A basic introductory word about the company and the project. The first part of the whitepaper titled "ABOUT US" should be helpful as it has some interesting facts and ideas which can help people to get to know the goals of the company and other relevant info.
Main Body
This is the main and the largest part of an article. Here you should explain all aspects of the coin, platform, technical aspects and future project development plan. Also, you can include info about the team behind the project.
Naturally, images from the whitepaper and website are most welcome in the article. These could be quite helpful for the better understanding of the concepts. One of the most helpful resources when it comes to the article formatting is definitely Anatomy of the perfect blog post posted on Salesforce - https://www.salesforce.com/ca/blog/2015/10/anatomy-of-a-blog-post.html
For the main part, likewise, you can follow sections of the whitepaper, so that you do not miss anything.
In the conclusion, you can share your own opinion about the project and share all the relevant links to project's social media. Also, call to action is not a bad idea either. If you believe in the project, then why not invite people to join you? :)
Now we are moving to the next important part, probably a bit more important than the previous one.
Rules
Naturally, it is (obviously) important to follow the rules set by the bounty management team. This is a foundation, to become eligible for a reward.
The article must be 500 words long.
This means that all articles shorter than 500 words will be automatically disqualified. You can check the word count at websites such as this one - https://wordcounter.io/
Your blog or a website must have a genuine audience and most of the audience needs to be crypto related.
Have a crypto-related blog or a website with a genuine audience is also one of the conditions. Posting about a Blockchain on a website related to woodworking doesn't make much sense, doesn't it?
Include a link to your Bitcointalk profile in the article.
To identify you as the owner of the work, you will need to include a link to your Bitcointalk profile in the article. This is solely to prevent scams and to protect the original authors.
Include keywords such as Project Name, Coin Sale, and cryptocurrency.
This is pretty clear, keywords that help your article gain more visibility.
The headline must be Search Engine Optimization (SEO) friendly and contain the keywords Project Name Coin Sale.
This means - write a catchy title and capitalize it before publishing. You can do it manually or use this easy tool - http://capitalizemytitle.com/
Include at least two links to the project's website
Simply (but elegantly) link to a website in your article.
Submit a plagiarism report to prove the uniqueness of the article
To prove your article is original and unique, please submit a plagiarism report from here - http://smallseotools.com/plagiarism-checker/

Now sit back and relax until the check is completed. This is what you should get:
Now let's see the ratings:
If your article is 100% unique - you are amazing and should definitely get a nice amount of stakes!
If your article is between 70 and 100% unique - still pretty good, but depending on the position on the scale, you may receive a bit less stakes.
If your article is under 70% unique - time to go back and fix the mistakes by writing an article from your own unique perspective and helping everyone get why is the project so awesome.
You can use the Snipping Tool from Windows 10 or similar tools to upload the picture (should look like Image 4.) to prove the uniqueness of your work. Another option is to download the report (you can see "Download report" button in the bottom of the image 4.) and then upload it to the form.
