Writing Strong Conclusions

1. Why Strong Conclusions Matter

A writer who ends weakly leaves the reader unsatisfied, confused, or disengaged.

A writer who ends strongly reinforces the message, delivers clarity, and leaves a lasting impression.

Conclusions determine:

  • Reader satisfaction
  • Clarity of takeaway
  • Emotional impact
  • Shareability
  • SEO completeness
  • Professional polish
  • Narrative closure
  • Retention

Every Total Apex contributor must master conclusions because the final lines shape how readers remember — and share — the article.

2. Conclusion‑Writing Skills

A. What a Conclusion Is

A conclusion answers the question:

What should the reader walk away with?

A strong conclusion:

  • Reinforces the thesis
  • Brings closure
  • Highlights meaning
  • Leaves the reader with a final insight
  • Feels intentional and complete

Conclusions are the final handshake with the reader.

B. The Core Types of Conclusions

1. Summary Conclusion

Restates the key point clearly.

Example:

The update caused chaos, but the company’s quick response may help rebuild trust.

2. Insight Conclusion

Leaves the reader with a deeper understanding.

Example:

The rookie’s performance wasn’t just impressive — it signaled a new era for the team.

3. Forward‑Looking Conclusion

Hints at what comes next.

Example:

With the sequel confirmed, fans now wait to see how the studio handles rising expectations.

4. Emotional Conclusion

Ends with a feeling or reaction.

Example:

For fans who waited years, last night’s finale was worth every second.

5. Call‑to‑Action Conclusion

Encourages the reader to take the next step.

Example:

Stay tuned for updates as the story develops.

Different articles call for different endings.

C. The Formula for a Strong Conclusion

A strong conclusion must include:

1. A clear restatement of the main idea

Not word‑for‑word — but reinforced.

2. A final insight or takeaway

Why does this matter?

3. A sense of closure

The article should feel complete.

4. A clean, concise structure

Short. Direct. Impactful.

Example

Weak:

That’s everything about the update.

Strong:

The update may have caused chaos, but the company’s response shows they’re committed to fixing the problem — and users will be watching closely.

Conclusions must feel purposeful.

D. How to Write a Strong Conclusion (Step‑by‑Step)

Step 1: Revisit the thesis

What was the core message?

Step 2: Reinforce the angle

What perspective did the article take?

Step 3: Add a final insight

What does this mean for the reader?

Step 4: Keep it short

2–4 sentences is ideal.

Step 5: End with impact

A strong final line sticks.

Example

Conclusion:

The rookie didn’t just score — he changed the direction of the season. If he keeps playing like this, the team’s future looks brighter than ever.

This is clean, clear, and memorable.

E. Common Conclusion Mistakes (and Fixes)

1. Introducing new information

Before:

The team won the game. Also, the coach might retire soon.  

After:

The team’s win marks a turning point in their season.

2. Ending abruptly

Before:

That’s it.  

After:

The finale delivered answers — and raised new questions for fans.

3. Being too vague

Before:

It was interesting.  

After:

The update reshaped the entire player experience.

4. Repeating the introduction

Before:

As I said earlier…  

After:

The studio’s decision will shape the franchise for years to come.

Conclusions must feel fresh, not recycled.
