Google is expecting to see longer content, it can take much
longer than ever before.
Fortunately, there are some ways to speed up your writing
so you can get more done in a shorter timeframe.
Let’s take a look at some of the ways you can write all
types of content faster.
For most people, research is the most time consuming element
of the writing process.
If you wait to research each element of your writing until
you’re ready to write that part, you will waste a lot of
valuable time. Instead, figure out what you want to write
before you begin (see the next section on outlining) and
gather all of the research you need before you write a
single word.
This will save you more time than you could imagine.
2. Create An Outline
A lot of writing time is spent figuring out what to write
next. If you create an outline of all the things you want
to say before you get started, you won’t have to stop
writing to think about what you should write next.
Not only that, but your content will make more sense,
because you’ll figure out the flow of things before you
start.
If you just fly by the seat of your pants as you write,
you’re likely to write things out of order and they won’t
make as much sense to your readers.
3. Use Templates
If you’re writing a lot of content on a similar subject,
you can use templates to help you. Templates are basically
just general formats you can use over and over.
For example, let’s say you’re writing articles about
gardening, and you want to write a bunch of them quickly.
You could create a basic template like this:
* Vegetable name and description
* Common culinary uses
* Length of time required to maturation
* Type of soil needed
* Amount of sun required
* When and how to plant
* Basic ongoing care instructions
* When to harvest
All you have to do is fill in this basic template for each
type of vegetable you want to write an article about, and
you’ll have a whole bunch of articles in no time!
But what if you don’t want to do so much actual writing?
There are ways to create great content without writing so
much, or at least without so much research and preparation.
Tomorrow, we’re going to take a look at a special type of
article you can create that will help you save a TON of
time, while still creating content that Google AND your
visitors will love!
