 5 Simple Steps
for Writing a
Persusive Essay
1. Know Your
Audience
 Who are you trying to
persuade?
 What do they care about?
 What views and opinions do
they already hold?
 Are they already open to your
point of view, or are they
skeptical?
 What arguments will they find
most compelling?
2. State Your
Position
A thesis statement should
be:
 Easy to understand
 Debatable
 Well-researched
 Focused in scope
3. Draw a
Roadmap
Draft an outline of your
entire paper before
writing it.
4. Support Your
Argument
Back yourself up with
good evidence and
research.
5. Anticipate
Objections
 This may seem
counterintuitive — why would I
highlight viewpoints that
oppose the one I'm arguing
for? — but this is where
knowing your audience really
matters.
 Your points might be
brilliant and dazzling, but if
your argument comes off
as one-sided, your efforts
at persuasion are going to
fail.
