I click a button in Datapresser and it generates 500 you couldn't tell I didn't write. Of course I don't submit them anywhere, fake articles don't help anyone.

If you're writing articles 10 in an hour, they're less valuable to mankind than the autogenerated ones. Clearly no research or unique insight went into them.

In the end, you'll fail to do anything but waste a few years chasing pennies instead of building a real business that'll provide for you and future generations. I was writing the "10 free ways to drive massive traffic" type crap when I was 12, 11 years ago, and it made me an "IM expert" back then too (was invited to talk on a terrestrial radio talk show at 15 before they realized my age).

None of those articles do me any good now, while real products that help real customers do.

Am I too much of a realist for WF?

You're absolutely right Dan but we must also remember that you learn a lot from the action you take. If you wait until you'll be able to publish the perfect article you'll never do anything.

I tend to agree with Dan. Quality is what counts in the long run not quantity. People will believe honesty and good research before they accept something that may come across as a flighty attempt at getting something published. But, I am not saying your articles are not up to expectations or anything. Its just a thought on how I approach the subject.

One article this morning took me about half an hour to write. That's about my best speed.

Ahh, hey, ya know, don't rain on the guy's parade. He's not doing anything more than bragging harmlessly about how many he was able to whip out in an hour. Sometimes a cloud's just a cloud, ya know. I think it's cool to test yourself like this from time to time.

I write a lot, and I've never really paid attention to how many articles I can do in a set amount of time. I suspect I could turn out no more than 3 that were of any real quality in one hour. And those would have to be about a topic with which I was intimately familiar.

I believe him - if you're an experienced article marketer and you know your subject you can write an article in 7 minutes. My best is probably about 6 an hour but if I don't know the topic I'd take about 20 minutes.

Also, what strategies do you use for article writing -- how do you do it exactly, step by step?

That'd probably be a hard one to answer - most people who are successful with article marketing could write a book on it (hence all the recent WSO's). It's very easy to write down the steps, but without including the detail most people wouldn't find them of much use.

I think we will all find that this is going to be an accurate universal response to this.
I guess now the question is What Is Your Answer To These Questions?

Well you know what, I just did some math.

If you submit the minimum required word count for an article to EZA, which
is 250 words, that only comes out to 35 wpm typing speed, which is nothing
to brag about. Even for a 500 word article, 70 wpm, is average secretarial
speed.

I did a 400 word article in 9 minutes and that article will bring me in about
$300 over its lifetime, on average.

So I guess what you're claiming is certainly more than doable.

I don't think even I'd want to keep up with that kind of pace, but hey,
if you don't end up collapsed on the floor, go for it.

I agree with quality first too: I have an article that is no way SEO focused or even that well written (in terms of copywriting), yet it pops up in Google all the time, for lots of different terms.

Why?

Because it gets picked up, then read, then gets listed in the most viewed, then gets picked up, then goes into the most published...

...and so on. So much so until Google sees how sheet hot my article is and rewards thee accordingly.

But, I also see the value of having hundreds of articles spread far and wide, because this can actually product similar results as the quality approach.

The QUESTION here is this:

"If you can write 10,20,1000 articles in an hour, will you continue to do so at such an impressive rate for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? Or will you burn out and not return for a few days or weeks...whilst others spread their distribution daily?"

...If this isn't a classic case of the Tortoise and the Hare, then I don't know what is.

You don't indicate how many words are in each article. If you're writing the minimum amount to get published, which is 250, your 10 is not that difficult to accomplish, assuming you already know the subject inside out. That's only 5 - 500 word articles.

The next question is, how much research went into each article? Any? Or did you write off the top of your head because you are so well versed in your subjects? Pretty much anyone can do that.

At some point, you're bound to need to do some research to expand on your subject, otherwise where's the incentive for people to read your articles? Eventually, they'll all be basically the same - with no new content.

And as someone already pointed out, how long can you maintain that marathon? Even top athletes take extended rest periods after major events.

Quantity (and speed) is not always the best approach.

Great job on the output.

I don't think it HAS to be a quality article for it to have the desired effect. It all depends on the overall strategy.

ex: If the plan is to do a quick flip of the website, it makes perfect sense to submit quickly written articles to 100's of directories to get backlinks from them, and, which in turn, might boost the selling price of the web property.

I did the keyword research prior to writing and gathered up seven keywords, I didn't set out to do it all in a set amount of time but once I started typing I just flew through the 300 word articles pretty easily.

I made a list of the keywords in MS Word and just started typing under each of them. I type pretty quickly and I've had a lot of experience writing so I just kept going and bringing up important points about the subject and how it fit into what I had experienced myself. I tried to make it somewhat conversational since that's how I like to write.

After that I opened EZA and began submitting. I used the same resource box for all of them so I just copy/pasted the resource box and typed in a one or two sentence summary for each article.

Thanks

They ARE weeds, and search engines are the gardeners. I'm not directly pitching any product or doing anything commercial.

But I do understand thinking it would be spammy to produce so many (low quality, if they were) articles and submit them in such a short period of time, that really isn't what I'm doing though, I know that's a waste of time.

But with the way things have been going lately, you'll write and submit 7 articles in 48 minutes, but spend 48 minutes each going through them and trying to change a word or two, resubmit, etc. to get them accepted.

My favorite nonsense rejection reason this week? Because when one of the articles that I wrote mentioned the Days of Our Lives website and I included the link, that was apparently a self-serving link. Yeah. Because I probably own Days of Our Lives, but I submit niche marketing articles to Ezine Articles on the side.

More like a fantasist. Unless you have read his articles, you have no clue how good or bad they are. You just imagine that because you can't do it, no one else can either.

Thanks

My record is about 3 per hour. Normally it is 1 or 2. Part of that is due to my typing with index fingers only.

I try to get two done before lunch and two after lunch as I do this while working a full time job and have to squeeze it in around work.

4 quality 400 - 500 word articles a day is not bad, it also depends where you are submitting them i guess. Longer articles tend to get published more and shorter ones on ezines tend to get more clicks ( i read that somewhere )

I'm going to try to work my way up to 10 an hour. What's your best time?

Can you duplicate it for me please? I really need some fast writers (o my aching fingers :rolleyes

!

BTW, I can write two articles in an hour, or at most 3.

I guess you are using the touch typing method to write your articles, right?

Thanks

The time it takes me to write one, or the time it takes me to hire you so I don't have to?

I really have to work at writing anything, so I'd most likely be last in this race.

This is in no way a criticism of MrSleep. Good for him (although I'm far more impressed with the fact that he was able to both write and submit the articles. Submitting is a real time killer for me.)

But to the point about all articles should be quality articles...as an aspiring freelance article writer, it used to drive me nuts to see IM people paying good money for crappy articles, especially ones that they're going to put up on their actual site.

But after reading some IM blogs over the past few days, I've discovered that many IM people actually WANT crappy articles. If they're building sites to make money with Adsense, they want the keywords in the article with the proper density, and they want the sentences to be at least coherent. But that's all they want. They don't want good quality info because it defeats their purpose. When a surfer comes to their site from Google looking for information, if they read an article that's actually informative and helpful, they're very unlikely to click on an ad. But when they get there and see articles that are pretty much useless, they might think "hey, maybe one of these links will have my answer" and click on an Adsense ad.

This may be old news to a lot of IM folks, but for me, discovering that a lot of people actually want crappy articles was something of an epiphany.

Thanks

How long did it take you to do the research for these articles and that includes keyword research as well as topic research?

The typing of an article is simple, it is the shortest part of the process.

The thing to consider is will people who are potential clients see that you wrote an article in less than 7 minutes, and assume that you will do the same for their article. It could backfire and lose you clients, especially as you are not prepared to post even 1 of the articles here.

Yeah I had already thought of this, but I'm not worried.

My classified ad already explains why my business offers the slowest turn around times possible

.

I think it would have more of a "backfire" impact if I posted the article I wrote for my own personal use than if I didn't post one at all. Then this thread would turn into what a bad writer I was (worst case scenario), not worth the gamble

.

P.S. About 10 minutes for research, max.

Thanks

I once wrote an entire 40-page (print) magazine in about 24 hours straight, working without a break. I wouldn't consider that something to be proud of.

Good on ya. Nice to be able to type like the wind.(Fre@&*n wypper snappers)

Me, at that pace I'd need to get fitted for a new truss for the hernia it would cause and the tension from trying to type so fast would certainly shut down all my other bodily functions. THEN I'd have to stop and waste time cleaning up my mess

So, don't go looking for me at Startbutts doing an article sprint 'cuz I've embarassed myself MORE than enough in public.
That's why smart astronauts ALWAYS wear protection.

Look up "hunt 'n peck" typing method and you'll see my picture.

Quantity over quality, that's the way to go in article marketing. Or is it?
