7 Steps to Writing Lots of Quality Articles
A.K.A. How to Write Quality Articles, Lots of Them, Without Sacrificing Your Integrity or Everything Else in Your Life!
Many EzineArticles Expert Authors are completely challenged by writing, and yet, they realize they must be constantly writing more articles to continually grow their business. Over the years, we’ve discovered several methods for writing a LOT of high-quality articles, some good … some not so good.
Here’s a 7-Step Guide to one of the best we’ve seen. It was developed by one of our most prolific authors.
- Step 1: Create document files in your favorite word processing software with only the titles of articles you wish to write about.
Step 2: Go through these “title only files” and write 4 sentences of the key points or things you wish to say.
Step 3: Think on it for a while, and then come back and write the first introduction paragraph stating the problem, challenge, history, or concern of the topic, sometimes this takes two paragraphs, meanwhile you are at 100 words. At that point you may just keep going all the way through the article until you finish, keep going as long as you feel like it.
Step 4: Write a paragraph of each of the three or four points you have. You can use or re-work your sentences as sub headings, as this makes a nice looking article with a good use of white space.
Step 5: Conclude it. Write a paragraph and provide encouragement and a hook for more information or problem solving solutions. Hopefully, they’ll read your Resource Box and click on one of your links.
Step 6: Proofread your articles. The key to quality is good proof reading and you cannot rely on spell-check alone. If possible, have someone else proofread it, marking mistakes.
Step 7: After proofing 5-10 articles, submit them and do another set of articles.
This method of article production can work very well if you develop the discipline to use it. And although your brain will get very tired after writing several articles, you can take a break and then proofread and edit, as that uses a slightly different part of your brain.
If you do more than 20-40 articles in a day, you are going to need to get out of the house or office, or get a really good night’s sleep to recharge.
Give this method a try, then stop back here and let us know how it worked for you!
I am just getting started with article writing too. Spell check would have caught the “writting” but not the choice of definitely rather than defiantly. This website has alot of resources for those of us who are just starting out. Enjoy the journey! Jeanne
