How to Write More Articles a Day Without Sacrificing Quality?
January 15th, 2008 | by Nick Mutt |If you are a content writer, you might be facing a pressure of completing your article writing project within the deadline. Sometimes this affects your writing skills as well as the quality of the content. There might be number of times when you do not have enough time to make proper research on the topic and thus fails to give unique content. Come to think about it, this is not an unjustified complaint at all.
Content writers ordinarily have to provide a huge number of articles within a deadline, and quite often they may even be ignorant of the subject they are going to write on. So, it becomes very important to research on the internet, obtain information, make sequences of the points and then finally write the actual matter. All this really multiplies the time required to make the articles. The consequence is, you find very tough to meet the deadline of completing the given project.
The main focus of this article is to discuss why it is crucial for the content writers to write more and more articles per day. Let’s have a look.
Any article writer would definitely like to write more articles for the two main reasons -
- Greater the number of articles on the website, greater will be the chance of increasing traffic to the site.
- The simple equation for the content writers is – if they will write more articles, they will be paid more.
But, should a writer take bundles of article writing projects at the risk of losing out on quality?
However, there are some tried and tested ways in which article writers can write several articles in a day (even up to 10 articles) without losing out on their quality. No doubt this requires talent, but it requires something more than that. It requires careful planning and strategy before you begin your work. Read through the following guidelines. When you are done, you will be equipped to write more articles a day than you are already writing; and that too without losing out on their quality.
- When you get an article writing project, the first thing you must do is to go through all the keywords. Categorize similar keywords together. When you do your research, find out points for all the keywords in a single category together. For example if the project is about skin care, then all the keywords in this subject such as ‘tips for skin care’, ‘natural skin care’, ‘skin care at home’ must be taken together. Find out points for all these keywords simultaneously.
- On a rough draft, prepare various headings corresponding to different keywords on one category. As you keep getting good information on different websites, type them in brief points under the relevant headings. Even if you read only about ten articles on modular homes, you could get up to a dozen points under each heading.
- Now you can begin to actually write the articles. You already have your rough draft ready. Look at the points you have collected in them and put them in a logical sequence. When this is done, start writing on them. Do not use the same language as you had read earlier. If possible, make the language simpler – that always helps as you attract a wider readership.
- You may have finished your article, but it is never complete until you put your own thoughts or views in it. Write at least three observations you made when researching information on the keywords. When you were reading other writers’ works, you must certainly have thought about something else that could be added, or something that could be explained further. Use this in your article. This is what will make your article unique.
- When one of the keywords is complete, go to the next in the category. You already have information on that too. Just type it all in. And do not forget to put in your own ideas also. Make it as different from the original articles as possible.
After you follow the points mentioned above, you will find that you are able to write several articles one after the other, provided they are on the same parent category. The key to speeding up the work is to cut down time on research, by simultaneously researching for similar keywords. It is a verified fact that writers spend much more time on researching their information than on writing the article itself. Hence if the time on research is shortened, you can complete the article in about half the time.
This is a method that is applied by article writers across the globe. In simpler word – Work smarter than harder. The average statistic is, if you work for just about four hours a day, you can churn out about ten articles on the same topic. You can count one hour for the research and making the rough draft and three hours for the typing, putting in original ideas and formatting the article in a readable style. Such a systematic approach toward researching topics and arranging articles in your own words will definitely give unique and quality contents to the web.
