    Any one have any tips on how to write quicker?

    How do some people take orders to rewrite like 20 articles or more and get them all done within 24 hours?

    Is it because they use an article spinner???? How do you get your work done so quickly?

    Tips would be wonderful ... thanks!

    It wouldn't suprise me if some people do use article spinners when producing such high volumes of work, that would go some way towards explaining the shocking level of English involved lol.

    Anyway, one method I use to write an article quickly is to make very brief research notes in notepad. Then you can easily write the main article by referencing your notes. This method will also allow you to structure the document and make it flow better.

    EnglishJoe is correct. Giving birth to lots of articles is no tough task once you have set up the skeleton properly. The spinner puts the derriere in place of the face. Therefore, when the spun article yawns, it smells like rotten eggs.

    Yes I do agree once you have the outline of an article it can be written a lot faster. Just like with creative fiction. I really should outline more now that I think about it.

    A quick way to knock out articles is to outline topics using bullets for
    ideas you want to cover. This outlines what you want to convey.

    Then cover each of the topics based on the length
    of the article you want.

    Mind mapping is also very useful.

    You'll be suprised how quickly you can whip
    out an article.

    One additional note is that the more you know about
    your niche the faster you will be able to create articles.


    Hope this helps.

    Don't forget to buff up your typing skills. Being able to type quickly means you can get your ideas down faster, and being able to type without having to look at your fingers is crucial to any kind of significant multi-tasking as well.

    You don't have to write quicker to complete articles. It's not about the speed, unless you are writing for $3/500 words. I would suggest that you try to improve your writing or your clients. And for the people doing it, they are probably using some evil scheme.

    Thanks for all the helpful tips. I type pretty fast however when it comes to re writing peoples work I can't write as fast as I wish I could. Outlining seems like the best solution .. thanks again!

    A really easy way to write an article you know nothing about very quickly, is to do some brief research and then use loads of bullet points and lists (which you then elaborate on)in the article.

    Get a copy of E.B. White's "The Elements of Style." It remains the quintessential guide for writing well in English. Should be available online or at any library, for free. Ask the librarian.

    Then, as for speed per se, practice practice practice.

    Article spinners are useless. I doesn't find them of any use. Even I take notes of the topic and try to write articles based on that. Or I try spinning my own article by changing the language.

    They can do it, because they like such work.
    I know the same Guy, he can write articles the whole day... But he doesn't like to work, for example, with html and php, as me.
    I think you understood me...

    Simple answer : they write crap

    You cannot write 20 well-researched, quality articles in one day. Just doesn't happen. Even 10 is a stretch. I am not saying that people cannot write 10 articles in a day, many people can. I am saying that when attempting to write that many you will get burned out and your quality will go downhill. OR, you were not writing quality to begin with.

    When people sacrifice quality for speed, they will always produce sub-par (or unacceptable) results.

    Now, if they had a team writing for them, that is a different scenario all together.

    Hmmm... depends what people are writing. Rewrites don't require a lot of research do they - all of the information is there in the original document. If you've got as very good grasp of the language then it should be easy to knock these out with reasonable quality - by that I mean legible, grammatically correct and original. I used to do re writes for someone and I found that I could do three 500 rewrites in an hour on a good day. I'm quick at typing and it was a niche I knew well, but it's really not that hard for rewrites if you have a good grasp of the subject matter and the language.
