Persuasive type of academic writing
is quite close to the analytical one but has one 
crucial difference. Here, presenting your viewpoint is a must. Persuasive writing makes you 
convince the audience that your certain idea or position on a particular issue is the right one. You 
collect various materials from trustworthy sources and consider which facts can support your 
thoughts in the best way. One of the most significant challenges is not to build your persuading 
based on your prejudices. Simple "because I think so" won't be enough here, and you should 
approach the evidence gathering appropriately: 

Read previous research on your topic and study different views on it. 

Look through your paper's organization. How are the paragraphs structured? How is the evidence 
built? 
Then, think about what methods of persuasion in different writings are the most powerful. 
And, while working on the persuasive writing itself, follow the rules below: 

Explain why your idea is reasonable and worth being noticed. 

Try to predict the reader's possible doubts and think about how to avoid or dispel them. 

Study your main ideas from different aspects and indicate its weak points, if any. 

If it is possible, divide your viewpoints into sections to make the whole writing more 
understandable. 
If the "what is persuasive writing" question is still not entirely clear to you - take a look at our 
example. 
Nicotine is a drug - it causes addiction to tobacco and is one of the most dangerous plant 
poisons. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) reports, for a human, a lethal dose 
of nicotine is 50 to 100 mg, or 2 to 3 drops, which is exactly the dose that goes into the blood 
after smoking 20 to 25 cigarettes. The smoker does not die from such a dose because it enters the 
body gradually - about 20,000 cigarettes over 30 years, absorbing approximately 800g of 
nicotine, and each of its particles harms the smoker's health irreparably.


That is a good example since precise figures give the reader a feel of formality and reliability, 
and the WHO as a source of information makes people doubt the data less. Here are the 3 tips 
you should keep in mind if you want to be persuasive in your writing: 
1.
State your own reasonable viewpoint. 
2.
Pick only reliable and trustworthy supporting evidence. 
3.
Present your arguments logically and clearly. 
Stick to these three points and rest assured that persuasive writing won't be much of a challenge 
for you.
