Writing Meaningful Articles Fast

I received an email today from one of my subscribers asking how to write meaningful articles fast. After spending time in an Internet marketing forum and reading some of the questions posted in various places across the Internet I see that this is a common question.

The key element for writing fast is to have a knowledge base about the topic. When you are writing based on something that you know about you can write much faster.

This does not mean that you cannot write about new topics or subjects that you are not familiar with, it simply means that you will have to do research first. It is important that your articles provide useful information and if you are starting at ground zero you really will not have a lot of helpful information to share.

With each new niche that you get involved in you will need to gain knowledge about the topic and sub-topics. It is wise to spend some time working on research before you begin writing. As you do the research be sure to note important points and phrases. I also suggest that you keep your research data in an organized fashion so that you can refer back to it if needed.

After you have the information needed to start writing the only hold back will be your typing speed. You see, your goal is not to write a masterpiece, your goal is to get traffic and make sales by providing useful information to your readers.

One of the easiest ways to write a meaningful article is simply to start writing. All you are doing is putting your thoughts on paper. Write as if you are talking to someone.

Begin with an introduction that tells the reader what you are going to tell him. This is usually about 100 words in length. The introduction should spark the reader's curiosity. You identify the problem and let him know that there is a solution. Next you will move on to the heart of the article.

You may want to break the content out into particular points with each paragraph being dedicated to a particular point. Keep your articles at a relatively short length. People are in a hurry and they do not want to spend a lot of time reading one article.

Make your article flow. One sentence should lead right into the next and each paragraph should leave the reader wanting to continue. End with a summary or brief recap of the article. And whatever you do don't forget about the resource box. The article is for the reader but the resource box is for you the writer. Use it wisely!
