I am in fact kind of lazy and I hate to admit it, thanks to my article writing process though I seem to do ok. I am on the computer all the time but i spend a lot of time analyzing stats and markets and keywords. I sometimes think that the technology around me is one of my worst enemies.
One of the things that has made the most difference in my success is that backlinks that I have gotten from article directories. I use the following article directories extensively:
EZineArticles
Go Articles
Hub Pages
I may have had a lot of success in the past with articles thanks to my article writing process but I have to say that I will go and write an article and then submit it and not do anything for a while. The real problem is scheduling time every day to execute the process and here is a new process that I have created and am taking advantage of this weekend
Article Writing Process
Writing article titles – An important part of the article writing process as this gets me started. Come on all we really need to write a lot of articles is the titles and then we will in fact have something to flesh out. To do this I just created a bunch of text files and then renamed them with a proposed title eg:writing articles that bring customers.txt. There are two things at work here. First is the title that I will use that is keyword rich (no research just what I would like to use) and secondly it gives me a focus for 400-500 words of content.
Writing bio boxes – ThisĀ has always been a problem for me. I write articles and have a bio box but they are all over my computer in little text files so what I have done is added one text file and added all my bio box text including hyperlinks to the one file so no matter what I am writing about I have a bio box right at my fingertips. This keeps the flow going in my article writing process by stopping me from having to find the links to promote.
Writing articles – I use the tried and true method of one or two intro paragraphs, 3 or so bullet points with expansion, and then a closing paragraph that will really pull it all together. This is all I need to get 400-500 words.
Is this the same thing that is holding you up? You can see that my article writing process is all about efficiency so that when I get started writing I do not have to stop for bits of other stuff breaking my focus. We all know that if you break down the income that you make you can probably make a good income on just writing a bunch of articles like this very one. So far this article itself is 443 words. I bet you could do lots of these as well, am I right? Follow this article writing process everyday and see if your production increases

Jim Edwards gave a great tips years ago on how to quickly pump out articles. The tip is to use the “X Tips” style. Whether thats “10 Tips To Lose Body Fat” or even “7 Ways To Cure An Upset Stomach”. Leave the number till last. Just come up with the basic concept. You can then list your ideas as bullets until you run out of ideas. A sentence or two for each point, plus a beginning or an end and you can pump out interesting, unique articles in no time. It’s served me well over the years.
It’s easy to get bogged down on the research and the reading of how to write articles/headlines/keywords etc. Some advice I recently read was write 25 articles quickly and see the difference in speed and style between the first and the last.
Hi Bill,
Yes, sounds like me too. My main problem is that I go and proofread over and over again, a bit obsessive sometimes.
Once started 250 words just is not enough cause I haven’t made my point yet, guess I am a writing babbler of sorts…
