How to Write Articles in 7 Minutes or Less - Article Marketing 404
How Do I Write More? There are many simple ways of increasing the amount of writing you can produce in a short amount of time. The thing that helps me the most is to plan my article out by asking a series of questions. When writing your article, you can even make the title of the article itself a question. For example, this one I'm writing has a working title of, "How Do I Write More?" The number of questions depends on your style of writing. I usually write one single question for one article and have three keyword responses. These keywords are the first three words that come to your mind that best describe the answer to that question. They're there so that you don't get off track. Say what you were going to say with keyword number 1 in mind, then keyword number 2, and finally number 3. If it's a topic that's easy to get sidetracked with, you might want to try 3 questions in an article and answer each of those as briefly as possible. Remember that you have to be careful about length. Every once in a while, check your word count. You can do this by copy and pasting your article into a new Microsoft Word document and going to "Tools... Word Count" on the top menu bar. You want your articles to stay between 250 and 500 words in length. Anything outside that range and you will have a harder time getting your articles published on web sites. If these are "chapters" of an e-book instead of articles, you should still try to stay within the 250-500 word count so that your readers can easily digest the information in small chunks... they're able to finish a chapter quickly and stop at a logical spot. If you just can't get your article any shorter than 1000 words, then you have two 500 word articles. You can also try changing your word processing environment now and then. By that I mean: on some days, write your articles in one big Word document. On others, write each article in a new text file. Just try using different programs to record your ideas with. My favorite way of writing is to setup a blog script on my server, or get a free blogging account on some remote host, and write each article as a separate blog entry. I make mine private because I don't want people looking at my content but you don't have to. There's something about seeing your articles as actual (somewhat) published journal entries that makes you want to fill the whole thing up. Setup Sales Letter in Minutes using Free Software?
