2 Logos is an argument's foundation. Logos requires research: finding facts, statistics and expert opinions to validate and cement an argument. The speaker uses logos to appeal to the rationale side of the audience.

3 Apply ethos to the argument by having a credible speaker, someone with a respectable reputation, who is well versed and educated in the subject being presented. If the audience respects the speaker, they are more inclined to consider the argument being presented.

4 Convey pathos in an argument by using a story to emphasize or connect the audience to the emotional aspects of the material being presented. Pathos also involves the delivery of the argument. A passionate delivery will engage the audience, making them sit up and take note.

5 Make it Understandable Whatever arguments you employ, they have to be easily understood by the audience before they can be persuasive. Make it Logical Make sure your premises don’t have holes in them, and have a strategy for addressing competing arguments which your audience already believes. Make it Real Premises which are based on concrete and specific facts and examples tend to be accepted quicker than premises which are abstract and general. The more easily your premises are accepted, the more easily your conclusions will be as well.

6 Trustworthiness Does your audience believes you are a good person who can be trusted to tell the truth? Similarity Does your audience identify with you? Reputation How much expertise does your audience think you have in this field?

7 Be aware of the wide range of emotions. Decide which emotions to evoke. Learn how these emotions can be evoked in your audience.
