Write Articles Fast... Why Would You Want To?
Every now and again I see a thread where someone is either asking about how to write articles faster or trying to tell someone else how to do it, so I had to post this. Sure, there are ways, but do you really want to?
Yes, more content is better, generally speaking, but do you really think that an article that you cranked out in less than 20 minutes is going to perform as well as a piece that actually took you some time to think about, research, structure and write? Do you think that you’ll be able to put your best work forth within that time frame? Do you think that the article will provide a lot of value to the reader? Probably not.
And you better believe that that’s what it’s all about, these days – VALUE. There’s a million writers/IMers/webmasters just like you, and their thoughts, experiences and ambitions are often very similar. In other words, there’s a lot of competition out there, so you’ll need to put some passion into your material if you want to stand out and achieve your objective – assuming that you have one that is feasible and legal.
People don’t want to read something that they’ve just read somewhere else. They don’t want to click on a catchy title and then find that the content doesn’t deliver. What they want is content that is unique, informative, helpful, exciting, entertaining, engaging, purposeful and satisfying; something that actually makes a difference in their life, even if only for a brief moment.
Putting out a half-assed piece, or many, is just going to hurt you in the long run.
Don’t get me wrong. I realize that time is money and money is precious, and that a good deal of us don’t have a whole lot of either. I also know that certain business models, industries and situations require that you type with your fingers and your toes. But in general, why waste your time and everybody else’s by spitting out articles like a Kalashnikov? Rather take a few hours and produce something that produces.
News flash: A good article can be worth a thousand crappy ones, regardless of what it’s for. And guess what… you can sell it to your clients for a whole lot more! The sense of pride that comes when you deliver awesome work is also worth a mention.
I guess what I’m saying is this: WRITE LESS, BUT MAKE IT MEAN MORE. Write epic shi*, as they say…
