Not Thinking Is Key

Here is another secret to great article writing no one will tell you. The secret to writing articles fast is not thinking. Don't sit there and think about the article for 10 minutes before writing it. Just start writing.

If you sit there and think about it, you will toss out one idea after the next. You will always have the chance to find something wrong with your article, even if there is nothing wrong with it.

Most people get “writer’s block” only when they think too hard about what it is they are trying to write.

What you need to engage in is what I call “stream of conscious writing.”

It doesn't matter what topic it is, just start writing. Write whatever comes off the top of your head related to the subject at hand, even if it is an indirect lead in to what you have to say.

You will find the more you start writing, the easier it is for the words to flow.

Make Research Easy

The only source I use for research is Ezinearticles.com. Now, I am not going to say this is the best and only place to research articles and information, but it certainly is a convenient place to find information and more importantly, find keywords for articles people search for.

What I do is get the list of keywords I want to write articles for, and then go to Ezinearticles.com and search the articles for topics similar to mine.

How do you get keywords?

Keyword Searching & Search Optimization

If you want to know what people want to read about, then you have to conduct a keyword search. There are many ways you can go about doing this.

You can find some Keyword research tools here => Keyword Research Resouce

You can use the search tool to find what key words people are interested in so to decide on your “would-be” article.

The more people that search for a term, the more likely you are to get people to read your material. A good hint is any term that people search for that has 10,000 or more hits in a month.

If you come on a term that has 100,000 or more hits in a month, all the better, however the more people you have looking for a term, the more competition their will be. You will notice however too, that when you use this too, you can get a list of other similar terms people search for.

Use some of these terms and see if you can’t come up with some great ideas for articles or for keywords you should incorporate into your own articles.

Most people do not realize the most important fact that exists about article writing.

Most of the work you have to do is done for you…

Look at other people’s articles and see what they’ve written about. Find out what people are searching for on the Web using tools like the selector tools at overture.

What you are doing is basically rewriting other successful articles. Now, you are not PLAGIARIZING. Naturally. This is NOT legal. You are creating original works, but referencing the work of others for ideas so you can create a better article.

Does this make sense? You do not have to become Einstein. You do not have to become a rocket scientist. You do not have to come up with the next best and greatest idea.

Most are already taken. Your job is essentially that of an article re-writer. Every article topic imaginable has been written for you at Ezinearticles.com. There are millions of articles listed here, and all contain links or resource boxes to other people’s affiliate sites or information.

As you can see, there are already a lot of people aspiring to be bum marketers. Take advantage of this system, exploit it and rise above your competition. It is the simplest way to get ahead in the industry. 

Read an article, and then write your own article. Fill in the gaps. Find out what benefits you need to include the original author didn’t mention. Don’t copy, create an original work. Just make it unique, different and better than the competition.

It's that simple.

Remember, you do not have to create a best-selling article. You are not an expert writer at this point, and you may never aspire to be. Why would you, especially if your career aspirations include being a bum marketer? The keyword here is “bum”. You do not want to do a LOT of hard work.

You want to do it quickly and easily. 

Write them quickly.

QUICK. Write quickly. Write like lightning. Force yourself to sit down and write and not move until you have 5-articles done every hour.

If you spend more than ten minutes writing any one article, you spent too much time on your article; you set yourself up for failure.

Why do you want to do that? Now, I am not saying this will happen overnight. It will involve some practice. You can do it however.

Try by writing your first five articles. See how long it takes you. In fact, make that your first assignment.

First, go to:

http://www.ezinearticles.com

Search for articles on the topic you want to write about. When you find the articles, scan them quickly. Do a quick search for keywords.

Then churn out five original articles based on the information you find. Congratulations, you are on your way to becoming a successful bum marketer. Now, how long did that take you?

With practice, it will take you ten minutes or less to write an article. It may not happen overnight, but it will happen, this much I promise.

Why I say this is because the bum marketer with the most articles out there getting hits and traffic is going to win. To win, you don't need the best articles, you need the most articles.

Understand this.

YOU need to be the most prolific writer out there to win.

YOU NEED TO WRITE THE MOST ARTICLES.

The more articles you have, the more articles people are going to read. The more articles people read, the more click-through links you will get, and the more money you will make. That is how the system works.
