When content marketing is a large part – or even a small part – of your business marketing strategy, it pays to learn to write articles fast. With this six-step process you can write educational, value driven, and informative content quickly and easily.
Here’s how to write internet marketing articles fast:
Step #1 – Choose your article topic or keywords and form it into a question. So for example, let’s say your keywords are “dog training tools” and you want to write an article about dog training tools. These keywords formatted as a question might look like this: “What are the most useful dog training tools?” or “What are the top three dog training tools?”
This is an extremely writer-friendly technique because it’s much easier to answer a question quickly and succinctly. And when you perform your keywords search, you’ll often find the phrases are already formatted as questions.
Step #2 – From that question, add three additional questions that relate to your main topic. For example,
* What are the benefits of dog training tools?
* Where can you find dog training tools?
* How do you choose the right dog training tool?
Step #3 – Answer each question with a four or five sentence answer. This is where the true writing begins and you’ll find that writing a paragraph, or two, to answer your question is quite easy. The best online content is easy to understand and is written conversationally.
This question and answer technique facilitates conversational writing. The question and answer format also helps create articles that are easy to read online. Short paragraphs with subheadings are easy to scan and absorb the value quickly.
Step #4 – Write a quick introduction. Once you’ve answered the three main questions in your article, it’s time to go back and write the introduction. Again, this will be a four to five sentence paragraph, only this time you want to introduce the problem you’re addressing in your article and provide a benefit for reading the article. You want to motivate people to continue reading.
Step #5 – Write your conclusion. Your conclusion is merely a re-emphasis of the benefit in your article and a quick summary of your key points. You’ll also want to include a call to action here, such as “Visit my website for more information.” (Be sure to include a link.)
Step #6 – Write a great headline. Here are some free tips for writing attention-getting headlines for article marketing.
By formulating your article as a series of questions, you’re able to write the answers quickly and provide valuable information to your prospects. It’s a useful technique for just about any article type or subject matter. Give it a try; chances are you can cut your article writing time in half with this simple five-step technique.
