stuck in writing article. help.

10 replies
how do you warriors create articles? i do 1 to 2 450-600 words articles a day for three weeks now and now i stuck at which angle to write. i write from FAQ-style, Q&A, comparison, real life stories, benefits etc. and now i'm literally running out of ideas...

how do you cope with this kind of problem?



Big Thanks,
Jake.

    For me, I'm better at talking than I am writing articles. So, sometimes I make a video instead. And that video can be made into an article if you want. Don't know if that'll help ya at all, but thought I'd throw it out there.

      Here's a tip that I learned from having over 3000+ articles published online:

      See if I had to start over, I would do things differently. Instead of writing hundreds of articles, I would only write a handful and focus all my efforts on ranking those articles.

      The reason I say that is because when I look at my article stats my best performing articles are the ones that rank high in the search engines.

      For example, I have an article with almost 100K views and that's because it's #3 for it's keyword. I haven't touch that article for over 2 years and it's solid as a rock.

      I have written tons of articles since that article but because I didn't spend the time to rank them, they die out.

      So my point is, instead of trying to find new ways to write the same thing over and over, pay more attention to backlinking and get the articles you have already written to rank high in the search engines. Then you will have consistent traffic flowing to your site and possibly consistent sales.

        still... you need to talk about something, right? so from what angles do you usually base your vid?

        so you basically saying, only make 5 or 10 articles and try to rank them up for an unlimited time? or do you have a limit on how long you should push your articles?

          Not necessarily, it goes deeper than that.

          First you have to make sure that you choose the right keywords otherwise you will never get first page rankings. I suggest about 25-30 keywords that have decent amount of traffic.

          Truth be told, after you have written those 25-30 articles, there isn't aq lot left to write about and so you would just be repeating yourself in different words. So instead of doing that to get the rush of traffic from ezine when the article goes live, why not focus on ranking them for long term traffic.

          See after you submit your articles to ezine and get the rush of traffic, 2-3 days time it's done and you have to keep writing again. However, once you get an article to #1 it will stay there for a very long time if you have chosen the right keywords.

          So what are you after? The immediate traffic from ezine? or the long term traffic from the search engines?

    Submit a your good originals to Ezine Articles, and then rewrite them and submit to other article directories. There are free article submitters, this will help create backlinks to your money site. If you are using a redirect on your ezine articles, you can do the same thing in your mass article syndication.

    Then you don't get stuck trying to write the same topic over in 50 million different ways. Look and see which articles are getting the most views and the most clicks, and rewrite them slightly or not at all. It's your article...it won't matter if it's rewritten or not, but just to be on safe side, you probably should.

    Honestly, I keep my EZA articles around 295 to 350 words so that people don't get bored reading them, and the resource box is more likely to be above the fold.

    Hope this helps.

    Sounds like burnout to me. Take a break, a day or two, recharge and comeback. We aren't terminator's here. Sometimes your brain just needs a break. Just refresh and get back into things... Even soldiers need a break my friend...

    In order for me to maximize the number of articles that I write every day, I just rewrite PLR articles and put a keyword or two in each article..
