How To Write 1000 Word Articles Fast in 2019
I write my best articles in odd time and almost always get the ideas for my best articles in more unpleasant situations.
For example, when traveling to the west coast I try to get up at this coastal time. That meant Saturday morning that I woke up at 4 o'clock (though I fell asleep at 11 o'clock). But 4am is still 7am back home so this was like sleeping for me.
Over the next 3 hours, I finished three EarlytoRise.com newsletters (with 1500 words each), and an email for my affiliates, Tuesday's independence email, and this email.
My morning time is my magic time to write, and if you want to write fast, you need to identify that in your life.
This said, if you want to be a content creator, you need to learn how to create content in any environment, at any time.
On Saturday morning I was able to use the excuse that "I was in a hotel and I can't do work there."
Or I could suck it up, get ready on a Friday evening, so I was ready to write Saturday morning and get it ready.
So that's what I did.
But as I mentioned, I often get my ideas in strange places.
Most often ideas strike me during:
1) Lifting weights (especially if I had a lot of caffeine before training)
2) While walking the dog
3) During the shower
The common feature between these three sites is obvious. By simply not sitting at your desk in front of your computer, you will come up with your most creative ideas. It is research proven.
So the next time you exercise or shower, make sure you have a writing pad or recorder handy to write down your ideas - because if you don't, they'll disappear - and that can be really frustrating.
Now if writing is not easy for you, here are the instructions I shared with a friend of mine who needed help writing 1000 word articles on a single topic.
Step 1) First, brainstorm your idea.
Step 2) Take your bullet point list and just pick one thing to write about.
Step 3) Start creating an outline ... because there is nothing more difficult when it comes to writing and trying to create content from a blank screen. Simply writing in the outline will make your task easier.
Step 4) Open your article with a story about the main point ... but don't reveal the moral of the story.
The story alone could take up to 1/5 of the article.
Step 4) Explain the problem you experienced (or the "main role") in the story and how that connects with the reader. Is it an analogy? Or is it obvious?
Don't assume the reader understands the relationship ... explain it.
Step 5) Suggest the solution to the problem experienced in the story ... and how the solution will help the reader.
Step 6) Give instructions on solving the problem if necessary.
Step 7) Summarize it. Again, do not assume that all connections are made.
This is how to create content quickly ...
... The biggest thing is just to breathe, and to remember, this is your mission and your passion. So let the stories flow. Find your best time for writing, the best environment for stimulating ideas, and look for it.
