    I will give you the best formula that I have used to write over 25 articles in a day on topics I knew nothing about. Average time per article (including research and proof reading) was 18 minutes.

    First, pick a topic. Now go to an article directory, or to google, and look it up. Find 3-5 good articles around this topic.

    From those articles, generate different main points you'd like to make in your article. A good rule of thumb is each point gives you 100-150 words. So pick 3 points for a 500 word article.

    Then, make a note of two or three things you'd like to mention about each point in your article.

    Writing articles this way guarantees you''ll come up with fresh content. You basically use other articles to generate ideas on your main points, and then you go from there.

    Hope this has been helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Exactly use both the techniques above.

    Shape some articles based on articles you find but target them towards certain keywords.

    1. Don't base the articles exclusively, or even primarily, around keywords. Write for the audience first.

    2. Don't even look at sites like Wikipedia. Half the time they're incomplete or wrong. Don't do all of your research from public websites either, thinking that any level of rewriting is OK.

    3. Go right to the source. If you want industry information, look at industry sources; not general blogs and sites. Look at industry trade journals, interview a professional in the field, read reports and white papers, etc.

    By saying keyword research, not keywords, I meant that you 100% need a keyword research in order to find the niche that you are going to blog about/write article. I can assure even the biggest expert that this has been proven before. What I do is I perform this research with a particular software the name of which I am not going to disclose :p and then what this software delivers to me as results allows me to write about something that is being searched for a lot but there are not many sites about it.

    This way I have an interesting article the topic of which is being highly searched and my article is written for the audience without me getting carried away with the keywords.

    I generally have a stroll around the university library. The only problem is that each time I go in I have ideas for about a thousand new sites!
    Great place for research though :)
