How many articles do you write daily?????

[dang]

I can manage to write one a day min. 500 words long each.
I love article marketing as well however sometimes it's hard to come up with good idea for article, that's why quite often I do rewrite other articles.

[Glenn Leader]

I don't write any articles t all. I outsource when I need to, and use my systems to give me a
fresh and unique article anytime I need any. My systems post to about 400 blogs once or
twice a week, so I'm slowly building a nice little empire that gives me instant backlinks anytime
a website, squidoo etc spidered super fast. This is a private system however, and will never
be sold.

I only write one unique article a day, which sounds pretty lazy right? Its what happens after that which makes me money!

I submit the unique article to EZA but then rewrite the same article to have another 10 which are at least 70% unique, post to my blog and various other places.

Then the RSS network kicks in sending my article all over the place.

Then I turn the same article into other media and start distributing that, when you consider you can turn each article in to at least 4 other media types and then run each one through your promotion strategy and make each one unique that can take some time but is well worth it.

If your gonna take the time to write a unique and quality article you may as well get your moneys worth out of it.

CSwrite, I write short 200 to 300 word "how to" articles and I only write at the most 2 or 3 a day. I first have to think of what to write about and then I have to find a title (keyword phrase) that has a fair amount of searches with little competition. How many of those type of articles could you do in a day if you had to think of what to write about, do some research, find a keyword phrase with the right number of searches and competition, and then write a 2 to 3 hundred word article.

Thanks

It's very hard to churn out articles. I'm a writer myself, yet after the 10th article I simply shutdown. It's like the creative juices are sucked outta me.

That's for sure, I write 15/day for 5-6 days a week, I usually spend about 30 minutes per 400 word article w/research and all of that to give you a time frame. I submit 5 of them EzA and then spread the other 10 around to other directories for backlinks. I'll usually write about 30 articles per product and then leave it alone for a couple of weeks to watch and see if it converts well, if it does then I triple that number.

[Simon_Sezs]

My article writing goes in spurts....I will have a week where I will write 40 articles and then not write another for a month or so. Article writing is boring and although I can see the long term effects, I prefer to use other methods...

[Max Ramocsai]

Usually only 1-2 but I've been getting really serious with it the last few days. I've been submitting around 10 articles per day for the last 3 days.

Hello Warriors,
I can do 5 - 10 on a productive day.

I think it is best to write when you feel you want to
and not force yourself.

I am a Ph.D. candidate, after all - I write stuff!

That being said, can anyone suggest a straitegy for shortening a long article, perhaps making it two articles, or a guideline that will help keep me from putting too much time into article generatio if I do not need to be so lengthy in my content presentation?

Thanks everyone! This thread is extremely helpful!
Cheers!
Will

For the longer articles make them a two part or a series and maybe post the second part on your site? The reader will want to the second part and visit your site.

I Write ZERO!

I have fulltime writers

[Tirmizi]

well one thing is for sure by this thread that ... " Article Writing is pretty much Alive" and Growing in demand I guess ...

[RebeccaL]

I'm currently writing 20-30 articles per day to fulfil my WSO clients.
I will continue to write that many afterwards for myself, and run another WSO.

If I write less than 10 articles per day I'm having a slow day.

[tommygadget]

Longroad, good to see you, even without the mod title! You should write as many articles as you can without burning out. If you grow to hate it, you will surely stop writing. Even 3 each day will get you 1000 income streams in a year's time.

[RebeccaL]

Hi Tom
Tell that to my clients - if I wrote 3 each day it would take over a year to deliver their articles!

Well, if you are a professional writer doing 3 articles a day, then you are definitely living the "starving artist's" credo.

Unless you're getting paid $50 an article!

[emeraldfire]

I guess if you've been writing for quite some time, you get to have a format in your head, plus there's your comfort zone. And there are a lot of factors: (1) your familarity with the topic (2) your familiarity with the tone or slant and (3) your familiarity with the audience. Personally the best scenario for me is: (1) topic: skin care, sleep or travel (2) tone: verbose descriptive sentences and (3) American. If I have that specific scenario then I can easily generate somewhere between 20-25 articles per day. If any of the conditions I mentioned changes, then the number goes lower. My lowest output? Real estate topic, with short, curt sentences for a British audience in an LSI format. I was only able to churn out 2 in a day, plus a migrane to boot. So I'd say on an average, 10 articles in a day.

And I'm only talking about the actual article writing, it takes me a half a day to read through different sources, a whole day if I'm asked to come up with more articles. You just can't write with limited information, what should come out is a mixture of whatever you've read, taking in the different point of views and different emphasis of the sources.

Same goes with rewrites, it's easier to rewrite something you're familiar with and it's harder to come up with articles if you're not. You've got the be familiar with the words used, its possible synonyms and allusions to some of the terms.

Hi Clint!

If I'm not given a topic list where my clients basically tell me to "write that" it does take a lot longer - and I think my max would be ten a day and still have them be great quality.

If I am writing in my area of expertise, it is a lot easier to churn and burn. If not, then it drops to about maybe 2 in an hour or less, depending on how much research I have to do. I typically spend 8-12 hours writing a day, plus more for research depending.

Sometimes I find it harder to write a 250 word article than a 500 word one honestly.

Writing this much definitely does take its toll and I do have days where I am totally burned out and don't even want to think about writing.

[Kevin Cotter]

Im just getting back on track. I was doing 1-2 a day but im now up to 5-6 and hope to get up to 10 per day. If I could just get my boss to stop bothering my throughout the day then im sure I would be able to get 10 done.

Later

[jhongren]

last time I used to write about 500 words in 30 mins. kinda of slow but I enjoy it.

but now with more budget and less time, I outsource to my team of writers who can churn out 10 a day and they are quality ones. =)

Cheers,
John

Hi Kevin!

The longer you do it, the easier it gets. I've been writing for many years, and have been lucky enough to learn a lot along the way about many different subjects. It will get easier - just make sure to take a day off every now and again to give the brain a chance to go WHEW!

emerald fire - terrific points! Especially about how style and tone will have an impact on how long it takes to complete each one. I always get all of my research done first, make notes and then go - that does make a difference.

[Zeus66]

I wrote 2 today. Well, I wrote one and then rewrote it so it was about 70% unique. Too dang hot outside to do anything, so it's a working weekend pour moi.

[azgold]

I can do 2-3 a day of researched (info and keywords), unique articles written from scratch, 500 words, proofed, edited and sent off to the client. Most times, it's 1 or 2 a day for a client, and 1 for myself, with other things in between like my blog, traffic, writing ads for other clients, forums and searching for the next freelance gig.

If push comes to shove and I get a rush job, I can do more, but the brain and eyes get very tired.

[ErinWalsh]

I have to preface this with I am a single mother, a full time student, and a full time preschool teacher. I write in my spare time which sometimes takes up all my time. I write 2 articles everyday no matter what. There have been days with 6-8. I am figuring out new ways to outline. The packages I keep getting assigned elsewhere often open up a lot of research for me although it is always interesting.

My articles are usually 500 words. I write an article in about 45 minutes. I want to get it down to 30. Has anyone read "The 7 Minute Article" I found a lot of good techniques there.

I am just learning how to get started here, and I have a lot of questions. I hope to be posting articles within the month.

Too hot..? Trade ya.. I just spent 3 hours this morning shoveling the driveway and as always the plow went bye as soon as I was done and it filled the bottom of the driveway again...

It's Christmas eve, the kids are in bed Santa came and I let him in to fill under the tree and now I'm going to bed. 6:00am comes early and it looks like I'll have to shovel again.

Oh cool, I just noticed Santa brought the kids RockBand "Yeah"!

As for articles... I always outsource to multiple writers and always looking for more as profits from articles continue. I always track my article profits separate so I know how much I can allot to article writing each month. I use different sources to get new and fresh perspectives and take advantage of different writing styles. It keeps things interesting for the readers...

I couldn't take that for more than a couple days. That just sucks! Guess I'm just spoiled here in Florida. It was 80 degrees today.

As far as artiucles I usually write 4-6 per day.

[Jamie Boyle]

I would say I personally do about 3-4 articles a week. Sometimes you just don't have the time depending on how many projects your doing along with family etc... Outsourcing is definitely the way to go. You are able to accomplish many more things then you normally wouldn't be able to do by yourself. If people have problems writing articles but want to write more to reach their goals quicker and get more traffic and sales, get people to write for you. Relieves stress and work load and still gets you results for a small price.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

[Alex Lin]

5 articles daily

[jhongren]

Alternatively you can have a team of reliable writers who you have carefully selected and trained over the past few months.

It frees you the time to build your business system =)

Personally, I have about 3 writers who can deliver 5 articles per day.

[vbm08]

I also set a target of writing at least 10 articles every day. But in the beginning I guess writing articles regularly is bit hard for the new writers.

As writing consistently requires a great amount of positive attitude and motivation along with strong will power. I also get writer's block many a times of the day.

The most number of articles I have written up to this day is only 7. I am really trying hard to concentrate on writing every day. But there are many distractions online which can easily keep you away from achieving your daily target. So one of the major barrier for me is lack of concentration and jumping to more than one income sources.

The "time management" post of Tiffany Dow is really inspirational stating the importance of sticking to your daily time schedule. I hope in the next year I will be much more organized and strictly following my daily schedule...

[chanano]

I try to write one a day. When I write an article I try to gather unique in info and that take time and also I want to be precious which I try to be that too take time as I do not use any software to write. Sometimes it takes two days to finish an article due to the natural tendency to write something novel always.

[babarapho]

on my off days I write 4-5 articles daily but when I am really on the go I write 10-12 articles daily

[Li Weng]

On a good day I can write 7-8 articles,
but I tend to write ones close to 500
words.

On a bad day I don't write any, but my
plan is to write one a day from now on.

[Bear Angelo]

Well. i'm a very slow writer. i currently post 1-3 each day.
And it's boring. But.... money is money

[nadavs]

I used to write one per day, but then I got bored and got other things to do, and they took my time, so I didn't write anything.

However, last week I wrote 16 and next week I'm going to write 20 using a wonderful technique called "Credit Card" (or in another name: outsourcing).

It's much better this way.

nadavs

[Keith Ireland]

I usually write between 1 to 5 per day, going to try to up my game in 2009 though. The more targeted articles you have out there, the more money you will make.

[gregw2]

I usually write at least one a day and sometimes as many as ten. It all depends on the Niche and subject matter. I spend a lot of time writing on blogs and forums that I like so that takes up a lot of my time, but sometimes I copy my posts and build an article around them so that makes it worth more.

[Arun Pal Singh]

2-10 per day. All are not for article directories though.

[chitika]

Its all about time management and patience... I write up to 15, taking breaks... quality shouldn't suffer..
