Writing an Article based on any Niche in the least amount Of time

You can't write a good article super quick - a good article requires research and knowledge of the target audience/niche.

If you're just looking for a quick way to shove up any old content because your blog has none then just look for the top 10 problems your potential readers have, see how other articles address those topics.

If you want a 'good' article then don't focus on speed, or just outsource it.

agree with andyhenry, the article that you can write fast is the one that you have good knowledge.

well, you CAN write a 450 word article in a short amount of time, but there are 2 issues with your question...

- what one person considers a short amount of time, might not be for another person.
- why are you focusing on how long it takes? Your focus should be on the content - as you get more used to writing, then the time taken can come down, but the time issue should never be at the front of your mind when you start.

I can manage to write a good article of 500 words in less than 30 mins. You just need to have the ability to read and use your own thoughts before creating your own version. Do not use spinning software, thats old hat. If you can't manage to write up an article there are plenty of outsourcers that can write them for a few dollars.

Denhinn,

Not sure whether you would be able to write a quallity 450 word article in a very short time unless you are really knowledgeable about the subject.

Andyhenry in his post above has really given you some good advice.

You can write a large number of articles by re-write the different articles from different sites.It is very quick and easy method of writing articles in a short time.

I'm just shocked and saddened that 450 words passes for a "long article" these days. With those standards, everything I own is a report or ebook :rolleyes:.

A lot depends on doing your research effectively. Read more than one or two articles, use authority sites and offline resources such as the library.

After you've done enough research it isn't hard to write numerous articles on the same topic. Think of unique angles, humorous twists, factual stories, helpful lists, and how-to advice.

As Joe has stated -- a 450 word article is not a long article. It's barely a starting point.

Hi denhim.

After reading your post, I'm left with a few questions.

I'm just curious to know why you want to write in the shortest duration of time? And I'm not quite sure why you think that low word count wouldn't be interesting, or able to grab your subscribers attention.

It seems to me that if you're writing for your own website, the topic at hand would be one that you not only knew about, but had a passion for, and therefore wouldn't be difficult at all or boring. Passion is a word that denotes excitement and enthusiasm. If you're passionate about something, it seems that making your content dull and boring would be more difficult when passion is involved. Or maybe, that's just me.

I'm also guessing that with finding writing long articles to be tedious, once again, the passion isn't there? If these short articles you're talking about are indeed for your own website, then perhaps you've chosen the wrong niche? If that's not correct, then perhaps you're not just a good wordsmith with writing not being your forte.

As a freelancer, I've found that if I've been hired to write something that is not an area my passion lies in, that I find something that is exciting to me to use in composing the content as a comparable concept.

I even at times need to go inside my head and imagine someone in a situation I'm writing about almost as an actor/actress does to learn a character they're going to portray, imagine situations and the emotions that would go along with the said situation and then get into character and write from that character's perspective. After that, it would be extremely difficult to compose content of only 450 words.

I hope that makes sense, lol.

If you don't believe you can do those things perhaps investing in a writer would be your best bet?

Just some thoughts to ponder.

You're gonna go far, kid.

I would love to do some first-hand Disney research right now. I'd even add in a little Universal research just to make sure I had enough knowledge to cover the subjects correctly.

I do think that fast is not necessarily bad when it comes to article writing. In fact, most successful writers will tell you that the faster you write down your first draft the better.

Without getting ahead of myself, a great technique writers use in the creation of their writings that you may find useful as well is at first getting on paper or on the computer your thoughts as fast as possible based on prior knowledge/research on the subject and a pre-made structure. A great tool that can help you keep up with your ideas is "Dragon NaturallySpeaking", a speech recognition software.

After the first draft is done, in most of the cases you will have to heavily edit it, phase in which you shouldn't be greedy about your time though.

Outsource - Problem solved.

Fiverr is your answer. You can get .003 USD per word. Not bad, right? As for quality, you can always file a dispute and PAY ONLY FOR QUALITY.

Wow... I love this forum more when article writing is discussed.

If you dont want to spend the time writing, people wont spend the time reading it. Could always outsource.

I plan on writing all of my own reviews.

Its easy, be passionate about
the niche and you will find it
hard to write less that 750 words

It is what you have to say rather than how much that really matters.

How many times have you met someone who speaks endlessly in order to say something that he could have said in a few short sentences? If you don't appreciate a rambler you will understand how it feels when visitors to your site realize that you are "filling up the page" rather than give useful information that they would like to see during their search.

If I could share any advice, it would be to focus on acquiring writing skills. Not just copywriting, but also writing that conveys useful information about products, services, issues and ideas.

You've heard the saying, to "think like a carpenter?" Measure twice, cut once. Every step costs you time, and taking time costs you money. Therefore, every step you take costs you money, but don't sacrifice quality to save steps.

Develop a knack for "getting your head in the game." Enthusiasm and the ability to concentrate will shorten the time it takes to produce an article.

As content creators, we appreciate how easy it is these days with information everywhere to quickly learn about any topic under the Sun. Use your public library (how many IM'ers have a current library card and use it? This alone is an unbelievably valuable resource).

Enough comments on this thread have (rightly) warned about plagiarism, and it makes the point well. That said, the best method I have come up with for writing something that has information value, something that I always picture someone may bookmark and return to, is simply this:

1. Find information people are looking for in any topic by going to subject-specific forums.

2. Take notes. Don't slow down, just write what you observe people discussing and the questions they ask, as well as any answers given.

3. On your sheet of scribbled notes, think about which topics/questions come up frequently. Select 3.

4. For each of these add a couple of specific points that relate to them.

5. How would you strike up a conversation with someone about this topic? This is your introduction.

6. Think of how this information will help your reader. This is your conclusion.

7. You may be finished with #6, or you may add a Call to Action.

This will result in a 600-700 word original article in the shortest possible time. The only way to do it faster is by using spinners and outsourcing. Article spinners will only work well when artificial intelligence is perfected. And Google will probably be at the center of that too. So don't bother with re-writers or other gimmicks. Just focus. When you get this process down, you will find that creating these articles is worthwhile (people want and need the information you have discovered) and it is enjoyable.

If this sounds like too much work or takes too long, then find just a couple of common topics people repeat on a subject in a good forum, and nail a specific point to clarify it (instead of the 2 or even 3 sub-points that make this into a higher quality article).

When you get in the right frame of mind and can concentrate on what you are doing, you'll get momentum. Don't stop. With practice, you can draft a decent quality article this way in about half an hour and with simple edits publish it within an hour.

If you want to write quickly, then use bullet points. An article with 5 bullet points (plus intro and conclusion) will quickly yield you around 400-500 words.

This could be written in under 30 minutes.

I think a 450 word article is hardly considered long. Around 1,000 to 1,500 words is what I consider as such. Anyway, outsourcing is the best option if you have the time to sort through all applicants. If you have like an hour or two before the deadline, you're better off writing it yourself since posting a job description, interviewing and explaining stuff can take hours. Based on experience, I find it easier to write an article if I am genuinely interested with the topic.

Well, I think everyone has different ideas about what writing is for, and what you should aim for, quality, or quantity, etc. But since the original question was about "how can you write a 450 word article fast", I'll tell you some of the things I'm doing to write good quality articles.

0) You need a topic, title, keyword phrase, something to write about. If you are freelance writer, someone pays you for articles, this is chosen for you. If not, it can be results of a keyword research, if you are targeting a specific niche, or whatever is on your mind that day, if you are just basing your marketing on your personality. But that's given before you start.

1) Do a research. See what comes up when you google it up. What others have written in ezinearticles. What are being discussed in forums, blogs. Get some main ideas, definitions, and make a note of them.

2) Write down your "outline" as fast as you can. Like Title, main point 1, point 2, point 3. With some introduction and conclusion it makes around 5 paragraphs. 5 paragraphs, 80-100 words each, make a 450 word article.

3) Write as fast as you can without thinking about spelling, grammar, or punctuation, or in fact anything at all. Write as fast as you can without thinking. Writing and editing are two different jobs, if you try to do them both, you will be very slow.

4)Now edit and spellcheck your article. Read it aloud, and if anything does not sound right, correct it.

Of course if you can type fast, that's an advantage. If you can dictate, using either Windows Speech Recognition or some other program like Dragon Naturally speaking, that's great too.

I can write a 450 word article in around 15-30 minutes. Depending on how much research I need to do before writing. I have heard people writing articles in 7-8 minutes. I think Jason Fladlien had a product called "7 minute articles". There are people who are cranking out 30-50 articles a day. And that was quite popular in times of "Bum Marketing".

Now if you are asking me if it is better to write as much quantity or as much quality as possible? I'd say both. Yes, there are times just one very high quality article can make a career, or a business. Tim Ferris talks about that in his blog. That's true, writing high quality content, based on your personal experience and personality has much higher value than an "ordinary" article, or 10 or even 100 of them.

But the thing is, you cannot just write one article, one blog post, and put everything you got into that one article, and then next day expect to become a millionaire either. The truth is, you will become a better writer after you have written 100's or even 1000's of ordinary articles, and ONE of them may as well become life changing...

So there is a balance between quality and quantity. Yes, it is a good thing to be efficient and do not waste your time during writing, however, it is not going to do any good if you put out a bunch of crap very fast. And yes, it is a good thing if you can produce high quality content that people will actually benefit from reading it, and share it with their friends, but if it takes forever to get it out, and you are wasting time agonizing to make it %1 better, for hours and days and weeks, that wasted time does not benefit anyone either.

Capish? Good enough is good enough. Write good, write fast, get it out there, profit.

To write an article quickly, choose a topic you know well and hone your typing skills! The first will allow you to write from the top of your head thus saving time on research, and the second will get the words from your head to the screen in the least possible time. Cinch!

As one who once preached on about his ability to write stunning content in no time flat I very much see where you're coming from. You're looking for firm ground in this "Internet marketing thing" (patent pending). Article marketing, or article directory marketing (as is probably what you're really thinking about), is enticing.

• Slap a landing page on that Internetweb-thingy.
• Write articles super-fast.
• Drive traffic to landing page.
• Make a million.

What's not to love?

Except, soonish, you'll realize it doesn't work that way. Really, get-rich-quick schemes rarely work. That's why they are called schemes. So, that gives you two option.

1. Quit.
2. Reinvent yourself and accept it will take hard work.

Most do the first one.

Surely, just minutes from now a bunch of people will tell you you can write articles superfast and make that million you hunger for. They will take you down dark alleys to black-hatville. Some will claim it's gray-hatsburg. Just remember; at night all cats are gray! The point of that is it doesn't really matter if you go black or gray, both are wrong.

That leaves you with a few options. Three to be exact.

• Write the article yourself and accept it will take time.
• Outsource it to a good writer. (It would be counter-productive to actively seek out a poor writer.)
• Buy PLR articles from good PLR vendors.

For business reasons I suggest the latter two. However, if I have to stop thinking about myself for a moment, I have to suggest that you write it yourself and learn the craft properly. Go down that route and you will find plenty of help on here.

There should not be a set amount of words that needs to be put into an article. Depending on what you are writing about, you write until the article has enough content to be catchy and helpful. And, as many have already said, you can outsource your writing. Writing an article can take a few minutes to x amount of time. An article can be short and sufficient, or it may need well over 450 words.

I've said this before, and I'll keep saying it...

If you use article directories for research, do it for ideas and angles, not facts. There are prolific writers on the directories who wouldn't know a fact if it bit them on the arse. But the keywords are exactly x.x% density. :rolleyes:

Remember, even if it's written with skill and energy, bad information is still bad information. Unless you are doing it purely for the links (missed opportunity), you still need a human to accept that you know what you're talking about.

Sorry but you can't ask quality and speed at the same time. These are 2 different things. If i already know what i am going to say, it usually takes me me 30-45 minutes to write a quality article.

If i am not aware of the niche, it usually takes me 2 hours to do the research and write a quality article.In this case, i prefer outsourcing it.

I do agree the quality of the article will depend on the amount of time you invest into it. But you can definitely speed up the process by dedicating some time to making a structure of the article first. (if you have 5 articles to do then do it for all 5)

First you need to come up with the 5 titles then break down the topic of each article even further by creating 3 sub titles. These can be questions, advantages, top 5 list, recent news etc on the specific topic.

Once you have this done for all 5 articles then when you go and write them it will speed up the writing process since you have the structure set already. There won't be much stoppage since you will have a plan of action.

For me the writing part has always been simple but it's just doing the research and coming up with some great focus points, that takes the most time.

Writing articles yourself can indeed be challenging at times. The trick is to keep doing it and that's how you become proficient at writing content.

Of course, there are a few tools out there that can help speed up the process. I absolutely do not recommend article spinners as these will certainly get you banned from Google sooner or later.

Here is an article on a software which helps create content using white hat methods.

Dont rush it, its not worth it. You will get more likes, google pluses, bookmarks and ultimately more traffic from QUALITY vs quantity.
