and im talking about a 'straight to the point, information people would pay for" type of article, without outsourcing. Seriously im talking about high quality article written for the user only, high quality like 'stratfor' quality with no SEO consideration (intentionally) just written purely for the convenience and efficiency of the user.

    Yeah, I cannot force myself to listen to "music" by someone who names himself as a children's candy, and so I really don't understand why you put it in this thread?

    But I write about 2 articles per week. In the neighborhood of four or five hours of work, if I have to research the subject a little.

    Good luck.

    It depends on how long you make the article, I usually make articles like these for my blog readers. I add some keywords, but they are mostly SEO worthless. I do them for the readers. It usually takes me about 20- 30 minutes, because I make them pretty long. I try to inject personality into them and try to help the most I can... I am a value driven person and believe that the traffic is better when it is word of mouth driven. I love writing...

    Cheers,

    Alex

    It takes me about 30 minutes to write a 400 - 500 word article. I learned how to write quickly from Jason Fladlien's 7 minute articles, but of course, I don't write them in 7 minutes.

    I'm a pretty slow writer and am easily distracted, so I often have a tough time writing at quick speeds. If the information I am writing about is easily available, I can write a good quality 500 word article in around an hour I think.

    I have never really timed it though, so I can't say for sure. Since I don't write articles for money but rather for personal use, I don't normally rush through them.

      I write my articles 30 minutes to an hour. It depends on where I will submit it or whether I will post it on my site.

    That totally depends on length, intensity, and topic.

    It´s a lot easier to write an article about a topic you are passionate about than it is to write an article on a topic you sincerely hate.

    I can definitely write an insightful, highly solution providing, and mind grabbing article (1000+ word) in my chosen niche in about an hour.

    It really depends on the topic for me - I'm really picky when it comes to writing articles for my websites and that can be costly (timewise) for me sometimes.

    If it's a topic I know a lot about like my industry at work, the Lakers, shaving my head, etc - I can write a quality 500 word article in 15 minutes. If it's something I know nothing about, it will take a lot longer because of the research needed to write a good article.

    An article like that can take a couple of hours to write. And that's if you already know the subject. Add on research, and you're talking a major time investment.

    But it's worth it, because these are the articles that can "go viral," and deliver a huge return on your investment. There are Warriors who have made thousands of dollars from just one of these articles. Not bad for a few hours of work.

      Dam...i am looking at some time. It took me about 40 Min. to understand the formula but now that i got it. It seems allot easier. Its a rinse and repeat cycle. I commit 3 hours a day to working on my projects.

      Thank you though, it brings me allot of comfort knowing that i am not doing things wrong (i assume so) again thank you
