How Can You Learn To Write Articles Fast?

For free that is. Sure you could pay if you had the money and wanted to. Or you could learn through trial and error with a lot of practice. But how can you learn to write articles fast for free?

One way is to approach the problem just like researching an article. A good place to start is with a search on google. Read the free advice in the articles that you find and get ideas for other related searches.

Some articles will advise using time tested easy to learn techniques like the list, the opinion, or the review. These can help by having a direction to follow but the help is minimal towards the speed of writing it.

Some others will of course tell you about the formula of Title or Headline, Introduction, Body, and Conclusion. Again this is direction but not much help with speed. What you want is a whiz-bang right now type of solution.

Another very good system is the "tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, and tell them what you told them". This is another way of saying Introduction, Body, and Conclusion. It will provide direction and speed if you learn to view it this way.

Suppose you pick a topic. Come up with a title. A solution to a problem is one of the best titles. Decide on 3 or more key points. There is not only your "list", but also part of your title. Such as "3 ways to...", "3 tips for...", or "3 solutions to..."

Write about 3 to 5 sentences about each point. Try to keep the paragraph down to 7 lines or less if you can. If not just write another 2nd paragraph instead of having just one big one. It's easier to read.

After that do the introduction and the conclusion. The Introduction just tells them what the 3 points or so will tell them about. Then the Conclusion reminds or summarizes what the 3 points just told them.

But this all assumes that you already know about the topic that you are writing about. If not you may go to blogs, forums, websites, and article directories to find out about it. This will help you come up with those points that you want to cover.

With Copy and Paste for note taking (not plagiarism) this really can be done in very fast time compared to your norm. For instance two or two and a half hours normally can be whittled down to 45 minutes or an hour with very little practice.

It's all in the system. And the truth is that a list article doesn't need to have an introduction or a conclusion. The paragraphs about each point can even be only 1 line.

This way you can adjust the number of points made to fit the desired length of the article, and how you can learn to write articles fast. Fast in minutes per article and fast in days until you are good at it.
