Article Writing, it really doesn't take that long

As I write this it is exactly 10 PM EST. I just finished writing a 400 word article on a particular niche that I really don't know all that much about, bought a dot info domain, redirected it to a cpa offer and submitted the article to EZA. I started at exactly 9:37 PM EST......23 minutes thats it, for the whole process...........oh and by the way I had Zeppelin (yeah I know I'm old) blasting in the back ground the whole time.

Will I make any money off this particular article,....... 100% I don't know.

Would I make any money from it if I had not had taken the 23 minutes to write it and buy a $2 dot info to redirect from, 100% NO!!!!!

Newbies, you get my drift............to all those who say, "I hate writing", well so do I, but I'm also fond of eating, so I do what I have to.

Take Action Now!!!

Peace

    PS I'll let you know if I get any conversions from my 23 minutes of work..........oh and once EZA approves it, off it goes to a dozen other sites, no changes other than maybe the redirect link..........

      Very true............"re-working" your own stuff is a very good idea everyone should use.

    Yeah it really isnt that hard. I think people have the trouble with starting the article and it can seem a daunting task to do all that writing but generally I find once you start writing its very hard to stop and you feel good because your taking action.

      I think Zeppelin might be the key for you. I've noticed with certain music I can crank out articles so much faster and they actually sound better. Some music has the exact opposite effect. So it's trial and error until you find the right music that works for you.

        Frank, did you use any PLR content, or you did the research yourself?

        I completely agree.............also Tull and Traffic work well also, depending on my mood

        ......and if I really want it done quickly, I'll just blast my son's Green Day tunes

    I've been cranking out hubpages in no time at all. I don't know why people take 6 months to get to 20 hubs - I got to 50 in 3 weeks.

    Actually I would have written more, but I was writing an eBook at the same time!

      It doesn't take that long if you are native English speaker.

      Some time is also needed to check keyword density and passing copyscape.

        Why worry about Copyscape if it is an original article?

    The sad truth is that the above few lines actually followed would generate a greater ROI for 90% of the people on this forum than the dozen a week WSO's they purchase.

      I couldn't agree more - getting over this mental hurdle is vital if you want to do well with article marketing I used to think writing 3-5 400+ word articles would burn me out and leave me with no mental energy left for anything else that day, in terms of IM. I was completely wrong though.

      I make sure to write and submit a minimum of one per day, but it's usually 3-5. Each one takes a maximum of 30 minutes to write. It can be really daunting to sit down and write articles, but if you take it one at a time(i.e not think 'damn, I've got another 4 to write'), it becomes much easier

        Exactly right, thats the key right there man, couldn't have said it better.

          Good stuff! It's so simple, I've been using this method as we speak actually - writing and submitting around 3-4 articles a day.

          Writing isn't my most enjoyed thing so I will purposely not go above that.

          The last thing I want this to feel is worse than my J.O.B! (Obviously still realising that this IM lark will take ACTUAL work! Anyone who thinks otherwise is living in cuckoo land)

          I didn't even think of CPA offers - Good shout! This method you've mentioned is one of the easiest ways to start your internet money making ventures.

          You don't even really need to keyword search if you're being reeeeally lazy as ezine articles does get a lot of traffic in my experience but I'd recommend doing it - That way your articles might rank..you could also try backlinking to your article but, for me, backlinking + article writing = Sucking the fun right out of IM!

          That's why you're lucky if you can outsource some of the jobs you don't enjoy

            I hated backlinking also but then I did a search for "free automatice social bookmarking" and found a bunch of sites that, once you go thru the intial sign up, its really a breeze. The second time around and afterwards its like a 5-10 minute process.

            Time management is really important in this business especially when starting out. You know, its like your too busy to do it all yourself but you're not busy enough to high multiple full time help.............but you'll eventually get over that hump as long as you plug away.

    .........And yes included some basic keyword research, no more than 5 minutes to find a very good longtail and a solid "medium tail".........I don't think those exist, do they.

    Lets see what happens.

    Note: as excited as I may sound, I'm still in authoring mode, sorry, the fact, yes fact, is that this article will probably make me very little money. Why? Because a good batting average for me is, for example, 10 articles, 5 duds 3 fair 1 good and one great(all this being short term)

    Now I've written 7 articles so far today.........but I think I might be tapped out for now.

    Kudos to you, you've obviously got a lot of experience in this field. Once you wack them in and get them accepted, what kind of promotion techniques do you use?

    I like to see where they rank first, see what the results are in the first lot of viewings, and then start promoting the articles if they do well.

    Then I'll submit the RSS feed to rss sites, bookmark the article, and submit it to other directories with a link to the EZA article in their resource boxes.

    Would love to find out other methods, especially the building of more backlinks to the article!

      This is the only thing I disagree with. When I submit to other directories, especially those that let you direct link to offers, I take advantage of it, I don't direct link between articles.

      But to each his own..............if it works for you.........more power to you!!!!

        I usually can write pretty well and relatively fast, but this is only after I have done a ton of research. So if I include the complete process, it is not so quick and can actually get pretty boring. I try to outsource when I can afford it or I use PLR content as it is usually easier to just rewrite it. This eliminates the need for research. You generally will have to do quite a bit of rewriting as some PLR stuff as well as some outsourced stuff is pretty rough as is. If you love writing I guess it is not such a chore.

        good luck

    You know I think there's a reason we both have "frank" in our names............thats exactly what I do. I cut the losers wuick and promote the crap out of the winners. Its all about views at this stage, at tleast the articles I written over the past couple of days. They need time to get some traction in the search engines. Once I find the one ranking well, I promote those mostly. If I promte the other a little more and there is no clear result, I just let them be and move on to the next batch.
