It would depend on the topic and niche along with the drive to write. If you are ready to write and you feel you wont be distracted, it should just be less than an hour.
It takes me about 20 to 30 minutes, but I'm a writer with 16 years experience. It will take newer bloggers a lot longer.
It really depends upon the subject matter. If it is something I am fairly confident in, and have a really good idea how I want to structure the article, I could do this in under a half hour - including all editing, revisions, rewrites, etc.
Freelance writing success is highly depending on how good your writing skills are, and how fast you can complete the article with perfection. Most of the time, clients who place orders for article writing, look for speed, accuracy and good style in articles. When I began writing articles, I used spend at least 3 hours on one article with a word count of 300-350 words. But now, a 500 word count article is completed in just 15 minutes. So it is all about how much time you spend in writing and also how you arrange the article info.
I agree. There are so many variables to consider. But 500 words in under 15 minutes? That's still pretty darn impressive. Nice job!
speed depends on some factors for me... - my mood/ inspiration/ purpose - knowledge on the topic yea, those points but on my best condition, I guess 30 mins and on my worst weeks! LOL..
This is an interesting topic for me because I am actually trying to slow down and write longer articles. I am expecting to spend 8 to 10 hours a post moving forward.
