What is going on my dear readers? Are you still playing this game or just two-clicking as I am? Anyways that is not the topic of this article. The topic for this article will actually be about "How to write a good article?". No it won't be a tutorial, it will be me looking at some examples and trying to figure out why some people are better than me and is there any secret?
So, everything started yesterday when I read an article made by well known journalist -
Orlandio . The article was about him reaching 2500 subscribers to his newspaper (impressive indeed) and now doing a give-away as a thank you. The article and the amount of his subscribers made me think - what is the key for the success?
I remember when Orlandio just started to write articles, he was doing interviews with country presidents, as he still does, and for some mystical reasons he was getting really good feedback for his articles. To be honest I didn't understand it back then and I still don't understand it now. You see, what he was creating was nothing new and several people have done that, including me, before him. You would think his questions were better or the interviews were more fun, but it was not. Maybe how he formatted his articles was much better? Again answer is no. If you look at it and think about it, then nothing was different, it was the same content, more or less the same questions but he still was getting a lot of success by doing it. So the question remains -What made Orlandio to stand out from the rest?
One thing has not changed - popular people gets a lot of subscribers. Even now if you look at the newspaper top then top newspapers will belong to people that are well known in e-sim, not mentioning country organisation newspapers. And actually for the most part these people are not writing articles with a good content. They could write an article with one sentence like "Vote this article because I'm pretty!" and sad or funny the article will reach the top by votes. While newspapers with redactors who actually put a good content out there for us to read or share some idea with us to think about, will most likely not even reach the international level and stay local.
So how to create a good article and make sure that it reaches the number of audience that it should? That is the question that every new writer is asking to themselves when trying to get those subscribers and get those votes. Back in the days it was little bit easier. There was such thing as Voters Club. It was an outside game website where you could spend some gold to buy some votes and subscribers and at the same time you could earn some money by voting and subscribing specific articles and newspapers. It was a good system that allowed a lot of people to get their first Media Mogul medals and be able to reach bigger audience with their articles. Was that how Orlandio did it? I don't know answer to this question but never say never. Maybe that was the start of his success, you know, you invest at the beginning and then get the profit.
I don't know how to be successful writer in e-sim because if you look at my newspaper then you would see that I have "oK" amount of subscribers but the truth is I got them with 4 funny articles and every time I would write something on more serious note, like this article for example, it would never even reach the top. So what is the secret of a good article, how to be successful in creating articles in e-sim?
I would like to ask Orlandio, as people say he's one of the best writers that e-sim ever had,what is the key to be successful in media part of this game?
To all readers - feel free to leave your comments and share your opinion on what is a good article from your perspective!
DISCLAIMER: This article is not meant to question Orlandio's journalist skills or the quality of his articles. He has been chosen as a part subject for this article simply because of his success in the field of media in this game.
P.S Happy new year to everyone and I wish you to be successful in everything you do in this year!

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
