Here are some tips to write a great conclusion for your articles: 

1- Ask yourself: “Is my point clear?”

In the conclusion paragraph the reader has to understand the whole reason why the text was written. Ask yourself “So what?” “What can we understand from this?” End up the article giving something to people think about, a good choice is to read it for a friend and see if he or she gets your point. 

2- Get back to the main theme in the introduction: 

Try to connect something of the beginning to something in the end. It shows to people your article followed a line, a circle, and in the end is the over of it. 

3- Use a quotation or a curious question: 

You will give something to people think about, and that is a definitely a good way to the end a text, because it shows people that everything you wrote had an important point.

4- Suggest a solution:

It will redirect the person who is reading to the main topic of the article, and maybe the reader will project the ideas to solve their problems in their own life. 

5- Avoid unnecessary phrases: 

It is not a good idea to start the conclusion paragraph with ‘In conclusion” or “in closing”, it may seem like you are trying to end it in a very simple and banal way, it will not sound good to the reader. 

6- Don’t try to write a sentimental appeal: 

If the appeal has a relation with the text it is good, but if you are just trying to make it emocional with some out of character conclusion, don’t try to do it. 

7- It is not good to introduce a new idea in the conclusion: 

Just focus on making your previously statements clear; it is not the time to bring new topics and ideas to the text. 

8- Do not summarize it: 

You are not supposed to rewrite the text in a short form, it is the moment to set up your theses.  

9- Make it short: 

You have already written a lot in the article, the last paragraph it is not supposed to be big because you are already done with the principal points of the text. 

10- Try to connect with the readers: 

You have no idea of who is reading your article, once it is online, the whole world can do it. Try to keep it real, like you are talking with a friend and trying to make your point. 

The main goal in the conclusion is to keep the line of your article, like a full circle, and the end of the text is the circle’s end too.
