The ideas and the research are what is time consuming when it comes to writing articles. I’m a pretty decent typer, but I’m not super fast. Even if you type fifty words a minute, it should only take you about ten minutes to write a 500 word article.
Now, that is basically if you’re looking at a guide and basically typing it up and we know that won’t quite be the case. You’ll at least have to put the content into your own words, but the typing part shouldn’t be a problem.
If you have poor typing skills, get some programs and upgrade your typing skills. You would be blown away by how much you have to type each day. Some successful Internet Marketers write articles, reports, e-books, forum posts, e-mails, private messages etc. It is amazing how much we read and write in a day.
What focusing on three to five keys points does is it eliminates a lot of the thought process that you have to have when you’re writing the article. When you get into the actually article writing process, you want to be a machine.
What I mean by that is that you want all of your goals defined, you want your objectives to be clear. You don’t want to be thinking about writing topics, you want to just write. You want a clear mind and to just write.
In all of my experiences with writing, it is best to write with a free and clear mind. Don’t think, just write. If you can let your typing skills do the work and not the constant thinking skills, do the work, the work gets a lot easier.
When you have three to five key points in place, before you start writing the article, you have plenty of ammunition for writing and finishing the article in style. Think of it like reporting on the news.
People who report on the news, obviously have to have some news to report on. When you have your three to five key points to cover in your article, you have news to report on. You can cover those key points and elaborate on them.
You can maybe focus on one topic and write your article about that one topic, but I’m more of a fan of breaking that one topic into three to five smaller topics. It gives your article more clarity and definition and gives you a more direct focus.
