Does Speedwriting Work? Speedwriting, the process of pumping out content - like book chapters, sales letters, or articles works if you apply the correct formula. That's right, it is well within the reach of the human mind, and the human body, to write dozens of articles - as many as 7 or 8 in under an hour. Want proof? Studies have statistically shown that the average speed of human speech is 120 words per minute. When you speak at a normal rate, you produce two words per second. If you want a 250 word article, you only need to speak for two minutes straight. To write a short and to the point 840 word sales letter, you only need to speak for 7 minutes without stopping. Even if you wanted a long 2000 word sales letter or short story, you only need to speak for 16 minutes. Coming up with lots of content in a short amount of time is all about the mindset. If you cannot type quickly, have your speech transcribed by a service like iDictate. If you are a trained typist, you can produce articles even cheaper because you can type almost as fast as you speak. But how do you come up with the proper words in the first place? First, a time limit is key. I know people with elaborate timing systems... such as lining up three egg timers, one for the time left to work, one counting how long you have been working on an article and another one counting down the time you have left. You do not need to be nearly as complicated. Simply get a kitchen timer, stopwatch, or even use a computer-based timer, such as Cool Timer. Set it to count down from 7 minutes and see how much you can write in that time span without stopping. Next, write everything as a question. Write your article title as a question so everything you write is an answer to that question. You can always rename it later. Write your paragraphs as an answer to a more detailed question within that article. You will find that doing this gives you a massive boost compared to trying to talk about a subject on your own. Finally, remember that the speedwriting business is all about the proper mindset. The world's fastest stenographers can type at 245 words per minute for five minutes at 99.193% accuracy. I am sure you would be happy with ninety or even fifty words per minute, so do whatever you can to achieve laser focus. Setup Sales Letter in Minutes using Free Software?

Turn A Simple Article Into A Report, Into A Blog Post, And That Into An Autoresponder Segment When you are writing for the internet, it is difficult to decide if the idea you have should be an article, report, blog post, or auto-responder message. When you are writing your latest tip, guide, or step by step manual which should you go for? The answer is, you should go for all of the above. I find that the easiest way to make writing seem fun and easy is to write anything first as an article. Think about it, if you wrote a lot of articles and you weren't sure which one's to use in your book, or to give away for free. Look at your latest 10 or 20 articles, and figure out which half are of okay or average quality. You should use this half for article marketing. Now the half that is left over is your really good stuff, the stuff that is too good to simply give away. Now this could go into your book, but it helps to write anything to begin with. When you are thinking of it as an article, you keep it short and you do it in a short amount of time. If you have a lot of those articles, and they are all very good and you can arrange them into a logical step by step format, now you have a report. It's very simple, just open up a word processor, or Microsoft Word paste your articles in, format the title so they look as if they are a chapter or section title and save them to a PDF. Now you have taken your best articles and put them together as reports. What you should do in your articles and your reports is have some kind of a message or "call to action" at the end. The call to action at the end of your article is to go to your website. The call to action in the end of your report is to go to your website as well. When you take some of these articles or report chapters and give them away for free on your blog, they are already at your website. When you repurpose your writing for the web as a blog post, it should remind people that they should comment below the blog post. If your comments are turned off, link to whatever valid offer you are discussing. Setup Sales Letter in Minutes using Free Software?

You should then ask them what action they have taken, or what best weight loss tip they have received to try and get some kind of discussion going. If you don't have comments on, then link to your weight loss report, link to your weight loss newsletter, or link to an affiliate offer at the end of that blog post.

What Length Should Your Articles, Blog Posts Or Reports Be? When you are submitting or publishing your content on the internet size does matter. By that I mean if you have an article that is too long or too short, you won't be able to use it on many sites. Likewise if your blog post is too long or your report is too long, you will actually lose visitors, lose traffic and lose sales and customers. Make sure that your articles are about 400 words long, your blog posts are 100 to 1,000 words long and that your reports are 1,000 to 2,000 words long. An article is supposed to be a quick blurb or piece of text that solves a simple problem. If you wrote a 4,000 word article it would be a very long rant or very detailed manual. We want to make sure that our articles are 400 words in length, or about two thirds of the page. Many article sites will accept articles as low as 250 words or as long as 2,000 words but the best range is 400 to 600 words. I recommend you get your articles closer to 400 words because you want to write and publish as many articles as possible. This means you can cover more subjects and you can get more links back to your site which means more traffic for you. Remember the length of the article does not necessarily mean it's better. I can take a 400 word article I have written and add lots of fluff and make it an 800 word article but the shorter 400 word article is better. When you are writing a blog post you have a little bit more freedom and control. I have published blog posts that are simply lists of bullet points, or a couple of paragraphs and that's it. The reason for this is because many people on the internet have short attention spans, and you want to accommodate them and make it easy and quick for someone to read your content so they can take whatever action you want them to take after reading that blog post whether that is clicking a link or even commenting below that blog post.

How to Repurpose Your Content in Various Format - Content Creation 505 The funny thing about a blog post is it can be super long as well. For example, if you have lots of videos, images, or lists you can make a blog post that is not really meant to be read start to finish, but where people simply scroll through and pick what they want. This is why you might see gallery blog posts that say things like, the top 50 WordPress PlugIns, or the top 100 Website Designs. The don't expect people to look at every single link, picture or video, but to scroll down, choose their favorite and talk about it in the comments below or maybe even click on the site they are linking to. When you publish your report you have even more freedom, but I recommend that you make any report a minimum of 1,000 words. This ensures that the report is at least 3 pages long and makes it worth clicking on the PDF file and opening it up in the reader. When a report gets to be more than 50 to 100 pages long, you are in trouble, keep it as short as possible. Think of your report in a very similar fashion to your article. People open it up, they get a step by step plan and then they are done, your report is finished. When you are writing web content, make your article 400 words, make your blog post 1,000 down to 100 words, and make a report 1,000 to 2,000 words.

Is It Possible To Make A Full-Time Living Writing Articles? For many people writing is the easiest task they could possibly do. After all, you don't need to dig a ditch, file papers or even talk on the phone - you simply write. If you're a writer, you might be struggling and wondering if it really is possible to earn a full-time living writing articles. The answer is that it really is up to you. First, start out freelancing and think about how much money you would need to make per month in order to consider yourself full-time. Let's say you need to make $1,000 per month in order to call yourself a full-time writer. During that month you were going to work five days a week, four days every month which equals out to 20 days. That means you need to make $50 per day in order to hit that $1,000 per month. The next question is how many hours per day can you stand writing articles? Let's pretend you could work five hours per day. That means you're making $10 per hour. If you're paid $5 to write a completely unique article then you could afford to spend 30 minutes on an article. Now, let's pretend that you became very good at writing articles and you've come up with an article in 10 minutes. That means that you could get away with six articles per hour which means that you could technically write an article for $1.67. When it comes to writing articles and you're a freelancer, it's a numbers game. It's how many articles can you write, how much can you get paid for those articles and depending on how quickly and how long you want to work, you can make a full-time living or any amount of income you would like. But I know that eventually you're going to burn out which means that once you get good at writing articles, you should begin working for yourself. You should write articles promoting your own website. When someone gets your website, you should take your best articles, combine them into reports, use them to build a list and use them to make money. It's good to write a few articles for other people in the beginning to get the hang of it but eventually, you're going to want to move up to the next level.

How to Repurpose Your Content in Various Format - Content Creation 505 How does this all come together? Here's what you do. You write a lot of content in your niche on a subject you like, you put your best stuff into reports, your average stuff into blog posts, and your low quality information into articles. That way, your articles send people to your blog, get them on your email list and then your email list offers the reports you have for sale and based on which report sell the most, now you know what new content to create. That's how you'll make your full-time living writing articles. Start off with freelancing then move to your own articles and reports and finally out of all the content you create, decide what should go in reports, what should go on a blog post, and what should remain as an article.
