    Quick and effective research.

    Good knowledge of writing formats.

    Standardized procedure of outlining, drafting, filling in, editing.

    It's really not that hard if you master these three things.

      ^^What she said.

      Developing a system was what really allowed me to write faster and more efficiently. I have standard formats I use, depending on the client, and from there it's really just a matter of filling in the blanks.

    Make some research on the topic. Read but no need to write down points. Write without editing.

    Proof read your article and make edit on grammer, spelling etc.

    I usually use a conversational tone, too. Oftentimes this is more effective than a simply informative article stating blah blah blah statistics. Nobody likes to read long lists of facts and technical details. You might have to include technical specifications for some articles, depending on the niche, but you still need to roll it all into a conversational tone.

        Perhaps the OP is attempting improvement so he/she can raise the price and write better articles?

          Improvement is always good. If you are asking if writers "use articles which are already present on Internet", do you have a service that is ready to sell to others?

          For every person selling their writing there is a buyer who is spending money to buy those articles...and who would be at risk if the articles are "already present".

        No no its not like that... Just want to make sure that I am writing in correct manner as others are writing...

        Some article writers claims that this is unique and well researched and after reading the article found that "this article was just rewritten from ezine or goarticles.."...thats the confusion part..
        You just say its unique and later found it rewritten......

          When I write, it's always 100% original from my own head & experience. I try to make it conversational and really helpful. But I tend to stick to topics/niches that I feel I know more about than others or can at least be sure that I'm writing correct info. I'm super particular about not writing garbage/incorrect info... I make sure I truly know what I'm talking about. But then again, I don't write for other folks like you do though, so that may not work best for you.

    You have to write original articles so that they may remain in the first pages of the search engines and send you traffic for years.

    First of all you should find the best keywords for your topics, based on keyword tools.

    If you don’t know anything about the topic you want to write about, you should read many documents online about it, and then write your own version. Make a combination with the information you will collect, and your own ideas and experiences and create original content this way. The originality of an article is based on your writing style, and not on the information you give. In other words, even if you’ll write an article about things already known, it will be considered original if you’ll write it with your own words.

    Of course, it is better to write about things that other people don’t know if you have a special knowledge. This way your articles will be really original and have a better ranking.

    However, you also have to write well, without mistakes. From what you have written here in your presentation, your English doesn’t seem to be so perfect. In this case, you need an editor that will improve your documents. You can find a cheap editor at elance.com or odesk.com.

    Take care!

    Everything I write, whether for a client, or myself, is 100% original.

    This does not mean I do not look at other articles as part of my research, because I definitely do.

    As an example, if I were writing an article on Wart Removal, I would look at the 3 or 4 most viewed articles on EZA for ideas. I would check what Wikipedia, WebMD, and potentially another site or two says before I started typing. If I, or my client, had a target product lined up I would be reading their sales page, FAQ, and testimonials. It might sound like it takes a lot of time, but in reality you could check all of those very quickly, have good ideas, and factual information to work from.

    With just that little bit of time you could probably write 10-20 articles on wart removal, all which would be original and interesting.

      Yup, absolutely right. That's similar to my research process, too.

      For another example, if I'm writing a product review, I'll Google the product name plus review, search for sites that don't use affiliate links, and find sites that mention the negatives, too. I keep a list of bullet points based on what I find in customer reviews.

      Then, I go look up the manufacturer's product information and the information on whatever site is selling it that they're trying to market, if applicable.
