I have seen various posts where they claim to write orginal 4-6 articles an hr, but how do you come up with original stuff.. everyday?

I have no idea. I can only think of getting 5-6 articles in an hour or so from a good content development company which can develop fresh required content based on my keyword research and/or from already available content from web or public domain.Some people can write a content on their own if they are expert on certain niche and are very experienced. Most marketers get it outsourced.

Most of the time people who write it so fast doesn't care for quality that much. Quality is important and you should take the time to write an article. But still there are people who are really good at it.

If I sit down and just write for five minutes about any subject at all, I will produce something on the order of 400 words. Since I write a lot, it doesn't need a lot of editing. Two or three minutes worth. I tend to get it right the first time. Now I just save that as a text file, and I'm done after ten minutes. If I keep doing that, it's six articles an hour. I don't have to worry about coming up with original stuff, because I can't possibly write the exact same thing over and over. I'll write something completely different, because I'm not the exact same person any more, and it's not the exact same situation. At the very least, when I wrote the last article, I had written N articles - and now I've written N+1 articles. | |

For niches I'm not terribly knowledgeable in, I spent about 30-60 minutes researching the niche online. Before doing research I have the keyword research info done earlier for the niche so I know what I need to learn about. To do this I read about the niche and make notes at the same time in notepad. I do NOT copy/paste anything nor do I type a copy of anything except perhaps relevant published statistics concerning the niche. Then I start writing immediately using the knowledge I gained and the notes I made. One research session usually gives me enough info for 10 articles or so and takes about 10-15 minutes to write a 500 word article. If I'm struggling to find something to write about - I didn't do enough research. When I'm writing I don't usually do article 1,2,3 - I just write on one area of the topic, space a few times and start writing on the next keyword phrase. I end up with a long notepad and then cut/paste each "article" into Word to check spelling/typos and readability, do a few tweaks and then save as text in my folder for that niche. Writing is easy for me - but even if it's not something you can do easily you can improve with practice and by having a system to use. kay |

If you REALLY know your market you can do this. My primary market, I'm a legit expert in, so I can pump 500 word articles in minutes.

The more you write, the faster you can write. I can sometimes do 5 articles in an hour, after I have all the research information. If I have to research though, I have to invest that time as well. When I dont have all the information researched, I might only get a couple articles done.

One of Mr. Steve Wagenheim's excellent suggestions is the use of dictation transcription software. I prefer typing, in general, myself, but if you type slow and take the time to train the software DNS can help you generate tons of content really quickly. | |

I agree with the others-practice makes perfect. I can do 500 words, on something I know nothing about, in about 20-30 minutes. If I know the niche, I can do it in 10. I am a stickler for grammar, and do it right the first time. The more you write, the faster you will be able to write. |

What I find best is just to FREE-Write like crazy on a particular niche or keyword you are trying to market. After writing for a good 20-30 minutes, you can then structure your "mini-essay" into separate ideas and articles. It just takes one good free-writing session then you can make multiple articles from that one source.

You can do it, as long as your familiar with your niche and have done your keyword research properly beforehand. Its just a matter of getting in the grove and doing it for a while. |

If I'm familiar with the subject, 2 500-word articles in an hour is doable. It's totally a different story when I have to do research because that certainly eats a lot of time.

I'll do all my research upfront and then set my timer so that I don't get bogged down in editing my mistakes. I can usually do 4-5 an hour...then I take a break stretch, get something to drink before I start again. Plus - I group keywords so that I'm writing about the same subject. The ideas flow better that way. |

Ok I'm getting the idea now..finally after so many of you had to drill it in me.One more related question - once you are done writing an article do where all do you post them? Article submissions sites, Squidoo lenses, hubpages.. where. And is it the same article to these various sites or you need to modify them with each? |

I do the same thing I do at school, which has been posted by a few other warriors. I sit down and I just research for a while and dump everything out on my notepad. Sometimes I do this on paper using that brainstorming cloud. I try to group stuff together as much as possible. Then when it comes to articles, I make a basic outline first. That way, I'll know how I'd like it to flow. When I write out the first draft, the ideas can flow into each other. If I don't do that, usually my ideas are just all over the place, since that's the way I think. Then, I go away for a little while and do something else. Come back re-read for grammar and spelling, run a spell-check and I'm done! Now just wash, rinse and repeat until I have the number of articles I want. |

If your not familiar with a niche and your writing skill need some improvement like me. It will take some time to get to that speed. I have heard some people may take a PLR article and use speech to text software to reword that article or articles. |

I know there are those who can accomplish 4-6 articles an hour especially if they are writing about a niche they are completely familiar with and they do not have to invest "research" time. However, as it has been pointed out, often the quality of the articles suffer greatly if trying to pump out vast volumes of work if one is NOT completely familiar with the topic or does NOT do quality research. As the CEO and Publisher of a fast growing article directory what I see continually abused is "article spinning" in the name of outputting a large number of articles. This in my opinion is the worst "progress" ever created for article writing and marketing. I have not witnessed any software that 100% gets it right or even close. What occurs is a complete butchering of not only the English language, grammar and structure but it makes the writer look like a complete idiot. Even spinning articles manually fails more often than not because it is a tedious exercise with much room for error. These types of articles are automatically rejected. If you want to have a successful article writing and marketing strategy stick to writing individual original articles with time and thought invested in them and then submit the original article to numerous article directories.

| hi, with practise you will get it. I do write 4 articles within 2 hours afetr spending the first 5 minutes researching. The rest 20-25 minutes is spent writing and making corrections. SO, in all, I can come up with a good article within 30 minutes. I write even faster if its a subject I am good at. You don't have to wait for inspiration, start writing and with time, you will get it.

ok folks with all these comments, I'm sure there is money to be made in article writing otherwise I wouldn't get these many inputs. So for me who's done PPC exclusively (have done very well) and trying to break into article writing.. is there an avg ratio of good/original articles written vs the time to see results. I know this is very generic question, but what I'm trying to get at is, is it worth for me to start into this route and how long will it take me to see results. If anyone can point me to a good source to get started that'll be great too.

If you know your market and niche, it's really all on autopilot. You have a few themes you can go by: 'Is xxx a scam', 'How to xxxxx with xxxxx', 'Top xxxx secrets you have never heard about'..'How I xxxx with xxxxx in xxxx days/months'. Then it's just a question of hitting the keyboard fast enough. I write a maximum of 2000 words an hour, but usually more like 1500 and better quality. I also write shorter articles for Ezine (250-300 words). |

Thanks Jack.. by the way was just reading ezine article's tos.. and they have banned the work 'Scam' in the title. So I'm done with writing 5 articles in 2 days.. I know, I know its pathetic, but hopefully I'll get better. So now are there article submission directories where I can submit these and they in turn will submit to other places or I need to go into each article site and submit it manually. Also, I do not yet have accounts on any of the article sites yet. Sorry maybe I'm asking pretty stupid questions, but hopefully I'll get help. In return if anyone has ppc questions, you are welcome to ask me - I have done that for 5 years. |

submit your articles for free to ArticleStorehouse. We are a fast growing directory but not so large so as to have your articles get lost and you will get good exposure. See our "New Members" section on the right sidebar under "Learn More" for more tips.As I discussed above you can submit the same original article to any number of sites but be sure you avoid the "spinning" tactics I discuss unless you absolutely know what you are doing. Good luck! If you stick to a consistent writing and marketing plan you will soon find your website or blog will reap the rewards of high traffic! | |

There is tons of info on strangely....Ezine Articles. Templates, how to get yourself going etc. I also picked up an ebook as an opt in bribe. I think it was called 'Write Like a Maniac' LOL The trick is to physically start writing anything and keep going. Sure you need your research but half the battle is just keep writing. The other thing is not to edit. Stay in creative mode. When you have dumped everything out, THEN you can go back and hone your creativity. |

Write down your plan on paper and follow it daily. I've once written 15 articles in 3 hours simply by planning it first. Re-writing them isn't hard either |

Re-writing sales letters - even better. Find several respected authors / marketers you like. Re-write, revise, revamp a little at first - re-invent later - as you get more comfortable. Save chunks for your temporary swipe file. Then you should be able to chunk together multiple articles with good "CONTEXT" - you know useful stuff. You will begin to write with some authority - while learning your niche. Not to mention learn ad copy. If you want a short cut - find the best PLR articles in your niche and tweak based on a little research. Throw in headlines, sub-heads & bullet points breaks up the page and lends authority. |

The key to writing good quality articles in such a short time is researching the topic. If you spend the time to do the grunt work on the keywords and background for your subject, then you will be able to write 4 to 6 articles in an hour. The true real time is the research plus the actual writing of the articles.

writing article is not a big deal - I can write a 400 word article in my expertise in just 20-30 mins, but the real time is spent for keyword research for which I need much concentration and time.

I've only written three articles and I'd say it took me 45 minutes each. They were all different niches. I agree with what others have been saying though. If I was an expert in the niche I could probably write them in 20 minutes or so.

| Have you seen any results with your 3 articles? I like to get some real feedback on results, from those who recently started out article writing. Specially how many articles on avg needs to be written to get results (maybe this is a very subjective question?)

Developing original content is easy. Original content only means that you wrote it in your own words. Also since most articles, if you're talking about submitting to directories, only need to be 250-500 words, you can crunch them out pretty fast. There are a couple ways to do it. 1. When you write an article, use that same exact article content and write a new article about the same exact content using different words. Maybe focus on a different part of the same puzzle piece. 2. If 1 does not float your boat, go to article directories and type in your niche you're writing for. See the top 10 articles, absorb their content and pull off a knock-off of what they were talking about. It's a great way to get creative and learn while working your articles. 3. Buy an article spinner. Never used one myself, I've downloaded one but never used it effectively, so wrong person to ask on where to get that. To the top, -Gregory |

It's not hard when you know your topic. I can easily write 4-6 articles per hour that are all original and top quality because I write about what I know, and I care that it's accurate. I also know a lot about those topics. The problem is that a lot of people don't actually enjoy writing, they don't know the topic but just write any old crap they find on an article directory and they are not interested in it. Thats when you get poor content. |

Ok I have picked another niche for office chairs, office furniture, executive chairs etc - now what articles should I write about them. I mean before writing the article I how do I research what keyword i should focus on - with high search, low results volume (within google), how much should the search volume be? Is this a good way to start? If someone can help, I can PM them what I'm trying to do here - but thought this may be useful to those starting with articles. |
