Expert Author Showcase: Dr. Jim Anderson
With over 20 years of experience in the Sales, Marketing, and IT fields, Dr. Jim Anderson offers a unique approach to take intricate business and technical practices and propose solutions for audiences through article writing.
Fueled by his passion for the five areas of business communication he writes about (speaking in public, negotiating, managing teams, managing departments, and managing products), Jim writes high quality articles at a remarkable rate. “The combination of passion and quantity is clearly paying off for me… I write a 700 – 1,000 word article each weekday without fail,” he said. “This has allowed me to submit over 500 articles to EzineArticles in a little over two years.”
Using articles to drive traffic to his main business site, Jim commented “the reason that I love articles is that they are always working for me – whenever someone goes looking for valuable information… my articles will be there on EzineArticles.com waiting to answer their questions and tell them there’s more to be found at my business web site.”
Dr. Jim’s Writing Operation
On the Hunt: “Since I write on 5 separate topics, I am always on the hunt for new article ideas. I am a voracious reader — almost everything that I read gets turned into an article at some point in time. Newspapers, magazines, and even (although I’m embarrassed to admit it) episodes of Jersey Shore have led to great articles for me.”
Getting Organized: “Since I’m committed to cranking one article per day, I have attempted to optimize my writing process. The night before, I’ll read the source of my inspiration (such as a newspaper story), think about what I’m going to say, and sit down and write the opening and closing of my article. I’ll also pick out the keywords that will go with this article.”
Favorite Article Tools: “My guilty pleasure is the Account Statistics — with over 500 articles published, I love signing in and watching the numbers increase every day. In addition, I am most grateful for the Author SIG – Resource Box. This has allowed me to get my signature right once and be done with it.”
Dr. Jim’s Final Advice
Time being a crucial factor in article writing, Jim knows it can be a challenge to manage the elusive hours of the day. “We all have an output level that works for us. I would suggest playing around with how many articles you produce and when you find a production rate that’s right for you, stick with it!”
Balancing your article writing efforts between quality and time doesn’t have to be a losing battle! Take Jim’s advice and find what works for you and build your quality article library from there! Keep at it, be consistent and we’ll help you along the way!
