How do you write 5 articles a day?

Damn, That was what I was going to say!

As the bubble deflates,
Have a Great Day!

Not to take anything away from PLR ATM, but I don't think it applies to his issue. If he wanted to build a PLR store, I would agree completely.

There is a good option from another warrior, though you have missed out on the opportunity to buy the course at WSO prices.

John Schwartz released a product on how to write articles not too long ago called Zeus Articles that will help you with your writing issues. It is a great resource for anyone wanting to write for any reason. He now sells the course at Article Impact.

That's not an affiliate link at all. It was the same product recommended to me when I started my PLR store, and it helped.

It can be tough to write 5 articles in a day.... especially if you are just starting out. But you have to teach yourself to get into the right state of mind to write.

First of all, eliminate all distractions. Turn off the TV, lock yourself in your room, let the answering machine take all calls and resist the urge to check your email every five minutes.

Next, do a search and choose only two or three sites that contains enough information for you to develop well researched articles. Notice I said to choose only two or three. It is really easy to get bogged down in research. Read through these sites and take notes.

Minimize the sites and begin writing. Focus completely on your writing. Don't let your mind wander. This takes some practice but it can be done. Once you are able to focus completely on writing, challenge yourself. If you can write an article in 30 minutes, challenge yourself to do it in 29 minutes.

Have confidence in yourself and your writing. You will soon find that you are pumping out 5-10 articles per day.

I make some good money writing articles for people, I've gotten orders that were as tight as 25 articles in two days. I type fast but I'm usually writing about a subject I don't know so much about. I was lurking on this forum but I saw your post and wanted to help everyone out. Here are some tips:

Pick your topic, lets say it's "Gold Rayguns". Lets say the article is going to be 400 - 500 words long or so. Do a quick google search and come up with about 3 main points you want to address.

1.gold rayguns are better than silver
2.they burn cleaner
3.they use less energy

Each of these points is going to be a paragraph so your article will look like this

p1.Intro
p2.point 1
p3.point 2
p4.point 3
p5.conclusion

Your intro paragraph should start with the problem you're addressing: "Most people use rayguns to blast octopoids but it can be hard to choose the one thats right for you".

The next few sentences should each address a separate point and you should close the paragraph with a sentence that leads into the next paragraph: "It might be hard to choose the best raygun but you should consider the benefits of the different options."

You should structure the following paragraphs the same way, intro sentence, major points, lead out sentence.

Once you have covered all the points, keeping in mind that you're trying to sell one solution over the other (gold rayguns over silver ones), you should write a conclusion paragraph. This should be like the intro paragraph, state the problem, sum up each point and then end with a good conclusion sentence that proves what you have said: "When you consider the low energy cost, the clean beams and the fact that gold rayguns can toast a Xynthian octopoid like a marshmallow its pretty obvious that gold rayguns are the best choice."

All in all this shouldn't take more than 20 minutes or so plus about 5 minutes of research and 5 minutes to proof read. The real key is to not stop and think too hard about what you're writing. Just stick to the formula and you won't have a problem writing about any subject.

If you need 5 or more articles all on the same subject then you should write them differently.

Gold Rayguns article
Gold Rayguns faq
Gold Rayguns common misunderstandings
Gold Rayguns story (Cpt. Joe was trapped with nothing but his gold raygun)
Gold Rayguns other uses (Starting campfires, lighting cigars etc)

This is how I do it, just stick with the formula and you won't have a problem. Always include your keywords in the title and at least once in the first paragraph. Remember that some sites won't like articles with too heavy a density of keywords.

The most important thing to remember is just write, don't think about it too hard and don't make too big a deal out of it. Oh, and take regular breaks to rest your eyes and fingers.

If you still find it hard to write articles you can always outsource lol

Taking breaks has helped me tremendously. I don't usually take 30 minute breaks but do find even 10 minutes away from my cmputer makes a big difference. Stretch, get some fresh air and get back to it.

Recently Helen Raptopolous shared this technique with people over on her Facebook page to help get ideas and its been invaluable in helping me write articles/ posts and even autoresponders.

List your Topic - then list your sub topics and then list 10 questions (or as many as you can do for each sub topic).

Use those questions to write your articles/ blog posts.

So for instance mine was Wordpress: Subtopics : Plugins, Templates, Spam etc.

Question - What is a Plugin, how do you install plugins, why use plugins, what are the best plugins etc.

Hope this helps you get some ideas/ brainstorm topics.

Cheers Donna

I have tried everything to help improve my writing speed and flow of ideas. I tried most of the things suggested above. But in the end, I realized that I just don't have the chops for it, so I went the outsourcing route.

If you think that this thing is slowing you down, then I suggest outsourcing.

When you know the niche or industry well, it's not that hard to write. If you're passionate enough - it's even better.

From my experience, the more stuff you have in mind, which comes through a lot of research and learning on the topic, you will never have a dearth of content. So do a lot of research and learning. try it out, It will work !

Writers write.

I'm not sure what kind of profession it is that uses "massive article software," but it certainly isn't the profession of writer as I understand the word.

No, I don't use any software other than Microsoft Office. This is where giving your clients realistic expectations comes in. They understand that they are not the only one and I do things on a first come first serve basis. For larger projects, the date of delivery is discussed and I schedule a certain amount of time each day for it. The key here is that I'm always up front about when I can deliver. If the time frame doesn't work for the customer, then I simply have to pass that particular job up. I don't want to promise a delivery date that I know I can't make or kill myself trying. So far this has worked for my clients with a normal turn around of about 48 hours depending on when the order was placed.

Hope this helps!

I may start five articles in a day, on different subjects, and work on them on a daily basis on the subject that I am in the mood for. That way it also gives me a chance to read the article again and again to improve it.

Rikki, I particularly like this one. It's one of my secret weapons, and one I've absorbed to the point I didn't even think to include it in my own post.

So many of the people I come across are trying to figure out how to write multiple short articles on extremely broad topics like "weight loss" or "acne", and at that macro level, there's only so much to say.

But if you take that macro topic and break it into, say, ten subtopics and then break each of those into ten more, suddenly you have 100 things to write about; all are different yet related.

And if you want a big, flagship-type article for your blog?

Three 450 word articles stacked makes a ~1350-1400 word article, easy as pie...

Those are good ideas. Except I think a lot of people are so happy to finish their articles that they never go back and correct their mistakes!

For whatever reason I've never heard or thought of that.... doing no editing until the end. That is a solid tip. Thank you.
