    Really depends on the article.

    Let's say I'm familiar with the topic. No research needed whatsoever. It'll takem me 15-20 minutes to finish a 250 word article.

    Well it depends on the topic. Often, writing a 250-word article takes me 20-30 minutes, including research time.

    The breakdown of writing an article that is specific & focused should be done in 10 minutes.
    Here's the breakdown:
    1. Research - 30 minutes.
    2. Organization - 20 minutes.
    3. Writing - 10 minutes
    Use this model & you can easily write a quality article of 250 words in 10 minutes or less.

    Depending on the topics I write. Normally, it takes me about one hour. Remember that you should not focus on time, take care your quality content

    Same as robertstr, depend the topic.

    English is not my primary language,
    1. I spend about 1 hours - 2 days for some kinds of article that needed more research.
    2. For kind of review, it may takes 30 - 60 minutes, checking my grammar, sentences, may take half of that time :D.

    In my primary language,
    1. Same.. 1 hours - 2 days.
    2. About 5 minutes - 15 minutes

    Btw, i never counted how much words i spent, so thats only my estimated :D

    It depends on the length and complexity of the article but anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours, doing research can take time.

    this thread explains why there is so much crap on the internet. does anybody here even PLAN what they're going to write? i expect most settle for low quality rubbish, knocked out quickly for the purpose of backlinks and search rankings. you can't write a quality article in 10 minutes, you just can't. you should spend at least 10 minutes just *thinking* about what you're going to say.

    for me, i spend between 60-90 minutes

    With or without video and images? Are you going to use stock video clips from your library, or film some new video? Do you have the images that you need, or do you need to take some new pictures?

    Without videos or images, maybe 10 - 20 minutes.

    With a new video and new images, it depends on where I need to go to film the video. Most of the time, maybe 4 - 8 hours. That includes drive time to the filming location, the filming of the video, drive back home, editing the video, uploading the video and then actually writing the article.

    If I know a lot about the topic, 15 minutes max
    including editing and setting up the article
    for email for my clients.

    I set a timer so that I am always maximizing my
    time.

    Takes few minutes (10-15min.) if I have a general idea on what I'm going to write.
    The difficult thing is to find good ideas and right information.

    A 250 word article will take me approx 20 - 30 minutes when I have the mood to write.

    If you have a hard time writing articles let someone else do it for you. Personally, I don't have the time sometimes and use need-an-article.net They are really cheap.

    The most important for success of your articles is of course a quality content. If you have a hard time writing article, you can hire staff from such services Globolstaff dot com or some individuals wrote to your blog or websites. That will be very helpful for you to get more benefits.
