Time is short. Dozens upon dozens of people are out there seeking shortcuts and strategies to speed up any process you can imagine.
As an article writer, this creates an incredible opportunity for you to share your time management secrets to an eager audience.
Capitalize on this opportunity by using the Saving Time Article Template.
Here’s a quick overview of this time-saving template:
Pick a Personal Time-Saving Strategy – Originality is the key. The strategy should be something you’ve done yourself so you can give unique insight into how everything worked for you. Your strategy can be broad or specific, such as proposing a solution to manage one’s workday or how to save time while performing a time-consuming task.
Identify the Time Thief – In the introduction, hook the reader by naming the process that takes more time than it should. Be engaging by identifying with your reader through active and compelling language.
You work too hard to leave your marketing efforts to chance. Marketing isn’t an exact science, but you don’t have to gamble with your marketing dollars.
Imagine you were playing in a poker tournament and were not only equipped with a vast knowledge of the game, but you were also dealt 10 cards while everyone else was dealt the standard 5 cards.
You’d be in a great position to find success at that point because the odds would be heavily stacked in your favor.
Article writing is all about stacking the odds in your favor and taking as much risk out of the equation as you can.

It’s that time of the year when we turn over a new leaf and make promises to better ourselves. Making a commitment to get in shape seems to be a popular resolution after enjoying all of that great holiday food. An increased fitness focus is always a great personal goal.
Making a similar resolution to commit to shaping up your article writing and marketing efforts will not only sharpen your skills, but it will amplify your efforts! Here are some resolutions you could make:
Commit to writing more articles.
Commit to becoming a persuasive writer.
Commit to focusing on building relationships with your writing style.
Commit to positioning your articles for both readability and search engine optimization (SEO).
Commit to having a better understanding of the English language.
Commit to having a better understanding of how you can use social media to enhance your writing efforts.
There are a plethora of resolutions you could make specific to article writing. If you want to take your efforts to new heights as an author, commit to a resolution and come up with a game plan to get better in the area you choose.
You might remember this line from the famous movie Field of Dreams. In this movie, the main character hears voices out in his Iowa corn field telling him to build a baseball diamond on his farm to make something special happen. He eventually trusts the voices, builds the baseball diamond and something special did happen: A bunch of historical baseball players showed up to play at the baseball diamond he built.
Transitioning that analogy over to the world of article writing, trust the voices that say, “build your article library and the traffic will come.” You’ll find something special will happen for you: You’ll see a steady flow of pre-qualified traffic going to your website.

Meet EzineArticles’ Expert Author Carla McNeil in Today’s Author Showcase
Experts have SO much to do! It can be tough balancing all of the items on your to-do list, clearing your head, and focusing on article writing. That’s why Expert Author Carla McNeil’s approach, while simple, is incredibly successful.
A writing session in Carla’s day begins with a morning walk with her dogs to help her “get out of her head” and focus. Afterward, she will sit in her easy chair with her laptop and write for a solid 15 minutes. “I am not allowed to do anything else,” Carla stated. “If I am not writing, I am doing nothing. No email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. – Nothing! There has been an occasion or two where I have sat for a couple of minutes, but usually sooner than later I start writing.” (Continue Reading…)
Coming up with a successful game plan can make your life much easier as an article writer. Here’s a short list of considerations you need to make to help ensure your campaigns are ultra-successful:
1. Choosing A Niche
Your first choice is a very important one: Be certain you choose niches you are passionate about. It’s hard to position yourself to an audience as an expert of a niche you are only mildly interested in. Your readers rely on you for valuable information and tips that will help to keep them on track with their own efforts. Make sure you can deliver on your assumed positioning as an expert in your niche and let your passion shine.
To become an expert author you should have a strong knowledge base and a passion for the niche you write in. If you have those 2 things, it’s much easier to build credibility and trust with your readers by delivering them a ton of value inside of your articles. Ultimately, your readers will determine whether you’re an expert author or not.

There are usually countless strategies on how to cure an illness or problem.
For example, if you are trying to cure the flu, you might take a traditional approach, a new age approach, a spiritual approach, some combination of them, or something else.
Each approach has its merits. In certain circumstances, one may work better than another, or they could come out with the same healing time. It is all about the approach.
If you pull the “illness” concept into your own niche, you can think about things in your niche that cause problems and how you deal with them. This is where your years of experience and expertise shine through.
With this article template, we will share exactly how to draw the “illness” analogy into your niche and how to share the perfect cures in your niche. (Continue Reading…)
