How To Write An Article Quickly Yourself

For many of us who do not have the luxury of employing a full or part time writer, you can try this method of churning out articles quickly.

The idea is simple. Article Re-Write.

The Internet is loaded with content for all kind of niches imaginable. Just find one or more of the articles you like and rewrite them.

The key here is re-write, not copy. You want to use the ideas from these articles and write them in your own style.

Here is a step by step process that I used:

1. Say you want to write an article about golf swing improvement. So you go to your favorite article directory, enter the keyword ‘golf swing improvement’ and you got a long list of articles that you can choose.  You can do the same to forums and other content sites. If you only want to write 1 article, just stick to the article directory.

2. Pick two articles and read them quickly. Underline the key points while reading. You should take less than 5 minutes to do this.

3. Enter your key points into a blank Word document. Now start expanding on each key point or merge them into a paragraph. Each paragraph should be between 3-5 sentences. To simplify matter, write one intro paragraph, 2 or 3 content paragraph and one conclusion paragraph.  At this point, ignore grammar and spelling mistakes. This should take 10 minutes max.

4. Write a snazzy title for your article. Since this is a important part of an article, you may need to re-write the title a few times to get it right. This should also take less than 10 minutes.

5. Run a spell check on your article and correct the grammar. You should finish this in 5 minutes.

The total time taken will be around 30 minutes but the actual writing takes about 10 minutes only.

If you do this often, you can shorten the process to 20 minutes. In fact, with enough practice, you can start writing immediately after reading the articles you selected. The key points will be inside your head and there is no need to write them down.

You Can Write a Good Article

We are all in the know when it comes to the raw power and efficacy of article marketing.  We can even claim without blinking that article marketing is the most powerful and most affordable web advertising tactic that has been conceptualized since the creation of the digital realm.

The fact minus the fluff, if you own an online venture, you have to resort to article marketing.

However, one of the most common questions I receive is this: how can I craft a good article?

It seems that even if most online entrepreneurs know that they have to use article marketing, not everyone is capable enough to come up with a web-worthy piece of informative content.

Hence, I have written down some easy to follow guidelines on how you can create the most suitable good article for internet advertising purposes.

  1. Know the topic you want to discuss with your article.

  2. Don’t settle for a general subject.  Filter it down to something that people will be interested in.  For example, don’t tackle the broad subject of “dogs.”  Find a sub-topic that will capture the interest of the prospects you will be aiming for.  Usually, this sub-topic points to a specific need, like “dog training” for people who are experiencing difficulty when it comes to living with their unruly canine companions, or “dog grooming” for allergic owners who can’t survive the smell of their dirty canine pups.  You need to find a sub-topic that will make people take notice.  This is very important.  Most articles fail because they don’t serve a more tangible subject.
  3. Since the sub-topic should indicate a particular demand, your article should provide an answer.  But, depending on how the article will be used, the answer you will discuss will vary.  To illustrate, if the purpose of the article is to promote a product, then practice restraint on the solution you will provide.  Your aim, in such a case, is to give the impression that you are an expert in the field, and entice your readers to consider what you will be offering.  Keep this in mind as you prepare your article.
  4. Create an attention grabbing title that is immediately understandable but exciting.  People will click on your article if they will be hooked by its title.  If not, no one will get to read what you have prepared.
  5. Do not forget that each article has three fundamental components: the introduction, the body, and the ending.  The introduction will inform the readers what your article is all about.  You can deliver a shocking fact, a revealing statistic, or a funny anecdote to jolt your audience into realizing that indeed, you are the a true expert in the field.  The body will explore the message you want to relay, of course.  And the ending will summarize the problem, the provided solution, as well as deliver some calls to action (i.e. click my link) if applicable.
  6. What is the right length for articles of this nature? I’d say that 300 to 750 words would be fantastic!

These are just some easy tips for article writing.  It is not difficult to write a good article all it takes is a little planning and some thought.  With practice you will find it gets a lot easier.  For further tips on writing a good article and additional ways you can increase your website traffic go to Marketeermum.

The Dirty Truth on Article Marketing

Many places accept articles without any charge but they should be sites with a good page rank. You’ll be seeing an increase in your website traffic should happen in a very short space of time. Top sites are also viewed by search engines as authority sites so it is to your benefit in many ways to have your content accepted, do not underestimate the power of trust in the online world.

This process of article marketing by submission to various sites, if carried out routinely, will ensure people read more of your work and actively look for it as your reputation grows. This is why it is so important to show people that you know what you are talking about so they trust the content you provide in the area you write about. In time your website’s ranking with Google and other search engines will increase from the number of incoming links you have.

Article marketing not only allows links in the body text of the article but in the resource box at the foot of the page. Each time your article is placed (with the links) on another site, it just helps boost the ranking of your own website! Sometimes, however, search engines can take some time before they actually list your site, Google can actually take months on occasion. Although you cannot rush the search engines directly, submitting more articles and using the authority sites will help enormously.

Article marketing helps to improving the ranking of a site but in addition to this it also helps increase the amount of content at the same time which again improves rank. Remember that visitors do not know that your website is trying to get them to buy something. There is no reason why you cannot be truthful about what you are doing once they reach your website provided they have useful information. It is once they have entered your site where you have the chance to sell to them. Doing it this way ensures the visitor is not mislead and is happy to be shown what you are selling. It is this approach that prevents a good many refunds from taking place.

It is this process of article marketing that ensures you will be in business for a long time. Regularly submitting articles is necessary and should not be viewed as something you only have to do once. Remember, if you have an interesting site you will also receive links from other website owners who may also use your article as well. Having your article duplicated on other people's sites can bring a great deal of traffic. There are no charges to article marketing and is still the number one way to get traffic to your site, all you have to do is ensure your content is ‘on topic’ and unique to have constant visitors.
