Tips To Creating Great Content Quickly

by

In the online world, your content is your livelihood. But if you are like most people, you probably hate writing articles too,

Whether you’re using your content to pull in traffic or you’re selling content to fill up your bank account with cash, your business depends on your ability to create a lot of good content.

And the faster you can create this content, the more quickly you’ll enjoy the extra traffic, subscribers and sales.

Here are three surefire tips for creating good content, fast…

1) Create a Good Outline

If you start with a good outline, then you’ll stay focused because you know exactly what you need to write about. And this focus will help you write more quickly.

This is particularly true if you’re writing something longer, like a report or ebook. That’s because it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the thought of writing something so long. However, when you have a good outline, then you can think of each section on your outline as an article.

Thus you can think of it as writing a series of articles rather than writing a book. Psychologically this makes it easier to write, so you’ll complete your content piece much faster.

2) Use Speech-to-Text Technology

Speech to text has advanced a lot in the last few years.

In fact with tools like otter.ai, you can dictate online without installing any special software (and you can use it free).

We can all talk faster than we can type. So quit with the excuses and get content creating!

3) Write Fast Without Editing

One reason that people often can’t write very fast is because they stop and edit nearly every sentence as the go.

While editing is necessary, it’s something you should do AFTER you’ve created the piece (not during the writing process).

Think of it this way…

Editing is a bit of a logical, left-brain activity. That’s because it requires you to remember grammar rules, look at your sentence structure and make decisions about whether you’ve written a sentence or paragraph correctly.

On the other hand, the actual writing itself tends to be more of a creative process where you come up with unique ideas and interesting ways of expressing these ideas. Thus if you stop midway through the writing process to think logically about things like grammar rules, then you’ll just end up stifling your creativity.

If you’re used to editing as you go, then it’s going to take practice to write without editing. Best thing you can do is set a timer for 15 minutes and write as fast and furiously as possible during the allotted time. When the time is up, take a short break, reset your timer and do it again. You can even make a game out of it by challenging yourself to write more words during each 15 minute block of time.

When your content piece is all finished, then you can edit it.

The bottom line…

If you can learn to write faster, then you’ll get more done in less time. And the more content you can create, the faster your business will grow. So give these tips and try and see if they don’t help you increase your writing speed!
