Writing Articles fast and easy

I have had more questions about the good of Bum marketing and how hard it is to write articles that make money.
I have covered a lot of this in the past but would like to wrap it up again by just making a few points that you can accept for throw away.
1. Keyword research is all that matters - Make sure that you are choosing keywords that are so. Do all keyowrd researching for a few articles at once
2. Writing articles should only take a few minutes - Once you have the keywords picked use the following process to write your article
a) Pick three subjects that are related to the main keyword you are writing the current article for.
b) Write a sentence as a heading for each of these subjects (remember to keep the article on a whole very focussed to your keywords.
c) Fill out the above three sentences as though they are headings for a subject. Remember you only need about 400 words on the subject for a decent article.
d) Write the other two articles for your keywords that you did in step one.
3. Submit your articles to www.ezinearticles.com - This is probably the only place that matters. I have tried submitting to 100 other article directories and it seems that although they do get picked up they do not show up in Google or at least rank highly enough to get traffic so ezinearticles is the only place that really matters.
4. Write a great Bio box that you can reuse - When submitting your article make sure that you have a couple of sentences left as a summing up of your article and toss this in the bio box along with the link to your affiliate review that you want to get traffic to.
So this is the whole process that I use. Usually when I am wirting articles I will have my keywords already done and try to knock off three or four articles in a sitting of maybe an hour or two and have them all submitted and done.
Using this method is great because there is continuity in the process and it goes much more quickly then research, writing, submitting and then research, writing, submitting. As the 4 Hour Workweek teaches it is better to batch work so that you can save time. There is nothing better then just writing articles for an hour and then doing all of the submitting. I bet that if you were to just do keyword research you could get this done in a half hour, another hour to write three articles and then another 15 minutes or so to copy and paste articles, bio boxes and keywords over to ezinearticles and then in less then two hours your have three articles up.
If you just did this for a week, a workweek at that you would have 15 articles working for you. In one niche this is enough that you could rewrite all of these into blogposts that you could create a blog for and have even more unique type content.

Hi,
I agree with all the great points you’ve made here.
And, depending on what you or your readers are trying to accomplish with their article marketing, I have a couple of additional suggestions to go along with your own…
If you want to also benefit your site (linked to in the resource box) with this process, you could consider submitting to ezinearticles as long with many of those other directories that don’t rank quite as high as they do on the SEs. However it would be best to rewrite the article at least once so there won’t be any adverse ‘duplicate content’ issues with the primary submission you’ve made to ezinearticles.
Although there may not be a need to submit to one or two hundred other article directories, although there is software and services that can make automatic submissions to a large number of such sites, it would be worthwhile to submit the rewritten article to other highly ranked directories as well as any that are niche specific to the theme of your article.
And I have a free resource page that you and your readers could use if you wanted to manually submit to some of the highest ranked article directories, as well as a growing list of niche directories where you might find one or two that are of the same genre as your article and website theme.
An inbound link from a website with the same topic as your own site is especially favored by the SEs compared to a link coming from a site with an entirely different theme, all other factors being equal, so such links may be beneficial to your rankings plus would get your article in front of more targeted eyeballs - whether potential customers or website/newsletter/blog owners who may pick up your article to put in front of their own (targeted) audience.
I’ve linked my ‘name’ on this comment to go to my article directory resource page in case it’s something you may want to use in the future.
