Power Up Your Essay by Mugley
Today for my persuasive essay students I have an article from a guest author on using ‘power subjects’. What are ‘power subjects’ you may ask? No, it is not a dissertation on energy for engineers – it is the use us of a topic to build your essay. David Bowman from Precise Edit explains -
Strength-training isn’t just for the beef-heads at the gym. It’s for you, sitting at your desk preparing a business letter, writing the next award-winning novel, or banging out a killer blog post that will ignite the world’s consciousness. Strength-training for you doesn’t mean training yourself to lift small cars (in case you don’t know how to use a jack); strength-training means building the power of your subjects to lift your ideas.
When you use power subjects, you transform listless, weak, vague, and uninspiring writing into writing that is active, engaging, inspiring, clear, and persuasive writing.
Step One to Using Power Subjects: The Main Action
To determine the power subject, you first have to find the main action. When you write a sentence, ask yourself, “Self, what’s the action being described by this sentence?” The answer to this question may or may not be the main verb. Let’s try this with an easy example.
“There is a good reason for the fire department to follow this policy.”
The main verb of this sentence is “is,” and the subject of “is” is “there.” But what action does this sentence describe? What is this sentence about? This sentence focuses on having a good reason, so that’s the main action. “Is” is a wimpy verb; nothing happens with “is.” On the other hand, the reader can visualize “having.” Someone can perform the action of “having.”
Choose a sample sentence in your own writing and find your main actions.
Step Two to Using Power Subjects: The Main Actor
Once you have found the main action in your sentences, ask yourself, “Self, who is doing the main action?” The answer to this question will be the power subject, i.e., the doer of the main action. In the sample sentence above, we identified the main action as following the policy. Now we ask the question.
Who has a good reason? The answer to this question is “the fire department,” which makes “the fire department” the power subject. We call this the main actor because it does the main action.
Great writing uses the power subject for the subject of a sentence and the main action for the main verb. Together, these form the basis of a powerful sentence: “The fire department has a good reason….” Now we just add the rest of the content, and we change a weak, original sentence into buffed-up, strong writing.
“The fire department has a good reason for following this policy.”
The Power of the Power Subject
Why do we call this the power subject? We can answer this question in two ways. First, we call this the power subject because it has power over the rest of the sentence. As we saw in the sentence above, we were forced to change the entire sentence when we used the power subject.
Second, we use the term power subject because it makes your writing more powerful. When someone reads your writing, he or she wants to know “Who is doing what?” The power subject answers that question. This means your writing will impact and influence your reader. It will have power over your reader; it will make your reader respond.
Two More Samples of the Power Subject
Many people find the concept of power subjects new. Maybe it’s new to you, so let’s look at two more samples. We will analyze sentences to find the main actions and actors, and then we will use them to revise the sentences.
Example one: “The tables in the office were designed by the Julius brothers.”
Current subject and main verb: “The tables in the office” – “were designed”
Main action: design, designing the tables
Main actor: the Julius brothers.
Revision: “The Julius brothers designed the tables in the office.”
Example two: “It’s not clear whether the CEO understands the situation.”
Current subject and verb: “It” – “is”
Main action: “knowing about the CEOs level of understanding”
Main actor: The actor is not named in this sentence, but we know from the context that we are writing about ourselves. As such, the main actor is “We.”
Revision: “We don’t know if the CEO understands the situation.”
Let’s take another look at the second example. In the revision, we decided that the sentence is about our knowledge of the CEOs understanding. However, we might decide, instead, that the sentence is not about us but about the CEO. This gives us the following.
Main action: understanding about the situation
Main actor: the CEO
Revision: “The CEO might, or might not, understand the situation.”
Final Thoughts on Power Subjects
You won’t be able to use power subjects in every sentence, nor should you. For example, sometimes you are not describing actions but what something is, so you will use “to be” verbs, such as “is” and “are.” At other times, you won’t be able to identify or determine the actor, or you won’t want to focus on the actor and main action. In these cases, you might use the passive voice.
In most sentences, however, you can identify and use the power subject. This may take some practice, both to understand the concept and to apply it. Then again, you don’t build muscle strength by reading about lifting weights. You get strong by stepping into the gym, day after day, and lifting weights.

A good essay will often start with a single writing idea. But getting that spark of inspiration can be difficult when you are under pressure from a deadline. If checking out digg.com for some writing ideas has failed, then it is time to turn to some quotes about life.
How do you use a quote? That’s the easy part. Pick a line from below you like. Perhaps it has made you think. Perhaps it made you laugh. Now what do you have to write about. Can you make a connection between the two? Let’s take a quote from John Mendoza – “You know you’re getting old when you can pinch an inch on your forehead”. There is world of scope just from these 14 words. How about society’s attitude to beauty as we age? Or the physical effects of ageing? What else can you think of? Here are a few quotes to give you some inspiration.
“A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him, ‘At my age, I don’t even buy green bananas’.” Claude D. Pepper
“Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. ” Mark Twain
“An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets, the more interested he is in her. ” Agatha Christie
How about some funny life quotes -
“My husband and I didn’t sign a pre-nuptial agreement. We signed a mutual suicide pact.” Roseanne Barr
“If variety is the spice of life, marriage is the big can of leftover Spam.” Johnny Carson
“In my house I’m the boss, my wife is just the decision maker.” Woody Allen
“In many instances, marriage vows would be more accurate if the phrase were changed to ‘Until debt do us part’. Sam Ewing
“Marriage is give and take. You’d better give it to her or she’ll take it anyway.” Joey Adams
“You can tell German wine from vinegar by the label.” Mark Twain
“I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it.” Rodney Dangerfield
“Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country.” Mayor Marion Barry, Washington, DC
“It’s the most important decision I’ve had to make since 1978 when I decided to get a bikini wax.” Arnold Schwarzenegger
“Politicians are wonderful people as long as they stay away from things they don’t understand, such as working for a living.” P. J. O’Rourke
“The political machine triumphs because it is a united minority acting against a divided majority.” Will Durant

You might be thinking – once I finish my education I am never going have to write another $#@!! essay again! If you have that opinion, and hey, after years of learning I can understand why you might think that way, then articles in this category are here to show you how to apply your writing skills to the real world.
In this first article, I am going to talk about Marketing. As it’s the 21st century, lets talk specifically about internet marketing -
When you hear the term “internet marketing“, what do you think of?
For many, that term conjures thoughts of websites or spamming or search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. For others, it’s all about graphical design, writing fancy code or even affiliate programs. All of those answers correct, but the essence of internet marketing is much simpler.
At its core, internet marketing is about these things:
- Understanding the target market to which the product/service/cause you’re marketing will appeal
- Determining exactly how your target market interacts with the internet
- Positioning your content on the internet to attract the attention of your target market
- Collecting information about your target market (also known as “leads”) for follow-up and conversion into sales
- Design of offers or incentives to induce the desired actions from your leads
Since there is insufficient space in this article to give all of these topics adequate attention, let’s focus on just one specific topic with the realm of internet marketing: Email Marketing.
My best payoff has always come by focusing on permission-based email marketing. Permission-based email marketing refers to the practice of collecting information (including email addresses) from website visitors and communicating with them via e-mail with their direct consent. The “permission” aspect of permission-based email marketing is what separates legitimate email marketers from the spammers that everyone despises.
My love of email marketing is strong for one reason: It works very well. Email marketing has been much like a never-ending goldmine. It enables us to produce income on demand simply by sending a good offer to our client base. When you have thousands of loyal subscribers and you put a compelling offer in front of them, income becomes nearly automatic.
However, the key to successful email marketing is the development of a legitimate trust relationship with your subscribers. If you opt to send your subscribers a request for purchases every single day, they will likely tire of your badgering and cease reading your emails altogether.
Alternatively, if you take the time to provide good content to your readers on a regular basis, you’ll discover that your readers take all of your emails far more seriously. This means emails will be opened, read and acted upon with greater frequency. Essentially, email marketing is an exercise in trust and relationship building.
The term “professional article writer” will surely look good on your resume especially if you’re someone who wants to make money online. You see, articles are now the backbone of every website and the internet. You’ll surely be in-demand if you know how to create great articles just like professionals do.
Make your articles to sound like they were written by an experienced, professional web article writer? Well, this will surely help in impressing your readers and in earning their trust. Here’s what you need to do to make this happen:
1. Enhance your writing skills. It’s really not enough that you’re able to tell your readers what you think. In order to be branded as a professional article writer, you must showcase high level writing skills. It’s important that you learn writing technique that will help in demonstrating your higher intelligence, your wit, and your unique sense of humor.
2. Choose your words. As you’re trying to project a professional image, it’s important that you use only those words that mirror integrity and higher intelligence. You can’t expect people to take you seriously if your articles are loaded with colloquial terms, right?
3. Be professional. If you’re a freelance writer, it’s important that you have exceptional work ethics. You must commit yourself to delivering what you promised to your clients. You see, having great writing skills is not really enough to build a good reputation online. It’s important that your target client find you dependable and reliable.
4. Writing style. Learning how to write articles like a professional will take time and energy. Start by developing a writing style that demonstrates not only professionalism but wit and sense of humor as well. It’s important that you’re able to educate and entertain your readers all at the same time.
5. Increase your knowledge. As article writing is considered the hottest endeavor in the online arena today, more and more related information are being discovered on a regular basis. You need to keep yourself posted on these issues if you want to stay on top of your game.
6. Work with professionals. I’ve heard someone saying “tell me who you’re friends are and I’ll tell you who you are” the other day. I think he was implying that your set of friends speak volumes about your personality. If this is true, you’ve got to surround yourself with professional writers so you can be one of them in no time.
7. Impress your readers. As a professional, you must be willing to go to great lengths to impress the people that you’re writing for. This can happen if you know their needs and demands and if you know how to address these.
8. Check your articles. This is exactly what professional writers do. Although they know that they’re experts on what they do, they still take time to review and check their articles before they make them available to their readers. Do the same and ensure that your articles do not contain any error that your audience might take against you.
9. Proof read your work. Professional web article writers spend considerable amount of time to make sure that their articles are perfect. They read their articles not only once or twice but until they’re completely satisfied. Do the same. Check your articles for grammar, spelling, and other errors before you distribute them online. Remember, they are your image in the online arena thus; it’s just but right to make sure that they’re flawless.
10. Ask for feedback. Every professional needs opinions coming from neutral third parties. This is to make sure that their articles are really great and that they contain everything that their target audience is looking for.

Students often have essay writing activities in almost all of their subjects. The initial step is usually to decide on what topic to discuss. But the next big decision that essay writers confront is what type of essay to employ. What technique works for the selected topic? What kind of writing style is suitable? What tone is efficient?
In choosing what essay type is appropriate to use, students need to fully understand the difference between each type. Here are the common types of essays that can help students on their paper writing activities:
1. Persuasive or argumentative essay
A persuasive or argumentative essay makes a claim or position regarding a subject for the main purpose of persuasion. It is usually presented with statistics, expert opinions, and well-supported arguments about a claim or controversy. In using an argumentative tone in essay writing, it is essential that the issue to be discussed is two-sided wherein the writer takes a stand. Also, the main argument must be clear, exact, and highly focused.
2. Comparison and Contrast essay
This type of essay writing takes two subjects and identifies their similarities and differences. A good comparison and contrast paper possesses a valid basis for comparison – a limited focus and catchy information. In writing essay using compare and contrast, it is vital that the purpose for comparing and contrasting the two subjects is made clear. This purpose is crucial because it provides focus to the paper.
3. Descriptive essay
Descriptive essays’ aim is to provide a vivid picture of a certain person, place, object, or event. It offers concise details that enable the readers to imagine the subject described. Generally, descriptive essays explain the “what, why, when, where, and how” of a topic.
4. Definition essay
Definition essay writing demands writers to present a meaning of a term that goes beyond the objective definition offered in the dictionary. Essay writers need to provide a more focused and exact description of the term than what is offered in reference sources.
5. Narrative essay
A narrative essay tells a story in a sequence of events. This type of essay is told from a defined point of view, often the author’s. It offers specific and often sensory details to get the reader involved in the elements and sequence of the story. Verbs must be vivid and precise.
6. Evaluation essay
The prime purpose of this essay writing style is to form judgment on certain ideas, places, services, etc. basing on clear-cut criteria. An informed opinion is critical to the development of this essay. It is important to use facts, statistics and other authoritative resources to establish and organize the criteria to present a substantial analysis and evaluation.
Essay writing is just one tough kind of various paper writing activities. Students usually ask for professional essay help to assist them on what type of approach or style to use in their composition.

Listen closely. You’re going to have to come closer than that. Closer … Shhh, can you do me a favour and keep a secret? Don’t tell anyone but I am about to reveal how pro-bloggers never run out of writing ideas!. How they are constantly overflowing with fresh ideas and stay on the cutting edge.
Okay, enough of the theatrics (hey, I was bored …) – time to get straight to the point.. My top tip for keeping a constant flow of writing ideas for your persuasive essay to is to use Google News and Blogs.
For this exercise, head on over to google.com. Across the top left hand side of the page you will see a menu. I can see Web, Images, Maps, News, Video, Gmail and More. Click on News.
If you have never been here before, this is Google’s news page. This page will be full of news headlines and is fully customizable. If you are looking for general writing ideas, this page is packed full of goodies. But for this exercise I am going to assume you have a rough idea on what you want to write about. My topic will be solar power.
Enter your chosen topic into the Google search bar and hit Search News.
The page that loads will now have a series of news articles from around the world that relate to your phrase. By default, the articles are sorted by relevance. You can sort by date using the choices at the top right of the page.
Scroll down the results. Do you see anything interesting for your research? In my results, the first 4 are –
Solar panels – beware of counterfeits (Energy Matters – Australia)
LG announces solar powered mobile (Techradar – UK)
Bharat hot on solar cookers, new energy (Times of India – India)
Dow at work on solar power shingles (Toronto Star – Canada)
It would not take you long to amass several articles that will give you some great ideas.
Another hot source of writing ideas on this page is the Google Blog search. In the left hand side menu you will find the menu heading Blogs. Click on this.
The Blog search is similar to the News search, but this shows recent blog entries from the web. I can see blog entries on DIY solar and cutting coal use with solar power. News will give you some good factual information while blogs can be more opinionated. Both are great places to start your search.
Warning – News feeds and blogs are great places to do research. Don’t copy what you find here as your own work. Duplicate content filters will spot that in the blink of an eye. What you can do is use the research as guidance. What is your opinion on what you have read? Write about that instead.
Need lots of articles but have limited time to spend in front of your computer? No worries! You can still produce more essays in as little as 2-3 hours as long as you know how to speed up the whole process. Getting your essays done in less time will work to your advantage. I am pretty sure that you can make use of the time you save in doing other things that you consider important.
Here’s what you need to do:
First, choose those topics that will not need extensive research. Go with those ones that you’re very familiar with. However, you need to make sure that your topics are those that are being sought for by your target audience otherwise; your efforts in writing your articles will just go down the drain. To make it easier and well-guided, I suggest that you consider the needs of your audience and the main reasons why you’re writing your articles. This should help you pick the best topics to write.
2. Get comfortable in writing your articles. Get used to writing your articles the faster way. This can happen through constant practice and by exerting conscious effort in mastering the whole process. Identify the roadblocks that slow you down and determine how you can quickly overcome them. For example, if you type less than 30 words per minute, you can overcome this by simply improving your keyboarding skills.
3. Proper planning. Think of the things that you would like to discuss on your articles. Decide on the angle that you would like to target. Create an outline that contains detailed information that you’ll cover on your articles. Review your outline and make sure that it will help you create an informative article and a content that will flow smoothly.
4. Eliminate distractions. Concentrate on your articles when it’s your time to write. Even if it sounds difficult, try not to entertain unrelated thoughts. Also, tell everybody around you not to disturb you in a nice way. Lastly, be disciplined enough and resist the temptation of surfing the net and socializing with your friends through social networking sites.
5. Create an outline. Creating an outline will surely speed up the whole process. This must contain a tentative title, information you’re going to discuss on your introduction, at least 3 major points that you would like to discuss, and idea on how you’ll end your articles. This will act as a guide and all you need to do is to fill in some words and information and you’ll be able to put a great content before you even know it.
6. Write your articles. Now that you have an outline, writing an article will become relatively easy. All you need to do is to follow your outline, expound on the major points that you’ve listed using short paragraphs, and end it with a very short conclusion. No matter how fast you think and type, you will still spend quite a lot of time writing a single article if you’re trying to put together 1,000-2,000 words. What I recommend is to keep your articles short to save some time. What I do is I produce 250-word articles that I can finish in minutes.
7. Turn off your internal editor. You can’t write, review, and edit your articles all at the same time as this can disrupt your train of thoughts. Allow yourself to commit mistakes while in the process of putting your ideas into writing. Then, edit once your articles are done. Believe me, this process can save you enormous time.
8. Write when you’re energized. Don’t even try to tap on your keyboard when you’re tired or sleepy because no matter what you do, you’re not going to be able to finish one article. Well, even if you do, I’m pretty sure that it’s going to be lousy. Write first thing in the morning when you feel energized or when your creative juices are flowing smoothly.
9. Spend the last minutes remaining in proofreading and editing your articles.

Writing marketing essays requires some exposure to the field of economics, advertising, marketing, and business. Students, however, are sure to have limited experience in these fields. When professors assign marketing essays as part of coursework, it is understood that the requirement is fulfilled for the purpose of enhancing the student’s capacity and knowledge on the topic, rather than to have students share their expertise on the topics.
Completing marketing essays as part of coursework requirements allows students to learn more about their field of study, look at the discipline more closely, and maybe even apply some of the concepts they have learned while in university in real life.
The Topic
The essay topic is vital in writing a marketing essay. Academics should be able to come up with a topic that is interesting enough for them to build a thesis around yet also within the scope of the assignment. There are several options for topics in the field of marketing, and some of the more interesting ones touch on the following subjects:
Marketing Strategies – A favourable topic, marketing strategies – either successful launches or dismal failures – make for good essays. Students can discuss standard strategies employed by a majority of successful companies, or the unique strategies used by distinctive and maverick companies.
Niche markets – The success of companies that cater to niche markets is also another interesting topic. There are new markets currently emerging, especially now with the advent of new avenues of communicating with the masses – mobile or internet communication.
Marketing Tools – The launch of new marketing tools such as networking sites and other such tools on the internet may be discussed. Several companies are using networking applications such as Twitter or Facebook to reach their consumers. Students can look into the effectivity of these campaigns.
Marketing Techniques – Marketing techniques evolve through time. The strategies used by companies within the last decade may not be applicable now. The evolution of these techniques, and even the birth of new ones, may be discussed.
The topic, although very challenging, only serves as the beginning or the point at which the entire essay is anchored. Students will then have to, after deciding upon a topic, come up with a concept, gather relevant data, and write the essay.
The Factors involved in Essay Writing.
Writing marketing essays involves three basic factors or steps:
- Gathering of information
- The analysis of data
- Presentation of the findings
Marketing essays contain a lot of information, mostly gathered through comprehensive research, analysed thoroughly, and presented in a cohesive and understandable manner. All these things are very important in essay writing as no essay can be completed successfully if one of these three factors is missing.
The presentation of the essay itself, however, is probably the most important. The amount of research conducted, the information gathered, and the analysed data will not amount too much if not presented well. This – the presentation – is where good essay writing comes in.
The Parts of an Essay
An essay essentially has the following parts:
- Introduction
- Background of the topic
- Findings
- Conclusion
The information the academic thinks is relevant to the essay topic is presented in these parts. Each part plays a different yet equally important role in the delivery of information in essay writing.
Introduction – The introduction provides readers a brief look into the chosen marketing essay topic. The information contained in this short part of the essay simply touches on the topic itself, providing an overview of the objective of the essay and the direction the written composition is geared towards.
Background – This section provides, quite obviously, a background on the topic being discussed. This is where some of the research will be used, as the academic will provide a look into the conditions or the setting which surrounds the topic of the essay.
Findings – This part contains all the generated findings and the analysed data. Any information in support of the thesis is contained within this section.
Conclusion – The conclusion provides closure for the entire essay. This section wraps up the entire composition, starting from the introduction down to the findings and analysed data. The final deduction or conclusion, contained in this part of the essay, should be supported by the findings provided within the essay.
All these parts should be written in such a way that each section flows smoothly onto the next. All the information should be anchored on the thesis of the essay and, in no way, should deviate from this main thought. Any deviation takes away from the consistency of the entire essay and may affect how the readers perceive and understand the information being presented.
Essay writing takes a lot of effort and requires students to put a lot of thought, not just into coming up with the topic, but on the entire process itself. Not everyone, however, is well equipped to face this type of scholastic challenge. For students who encounter difficulties in writing essays, help is available. There are several websites that offer guidance in essay writing and other coursework assignments. One only needs to consult these websites, or look for a guide to use as reference, and get down to writing his marketing essay.

Imagine being able to write a good essay or report within minutes without suffering from writer’s block!
Despite technological advancement and the use of audio and video there are still many situations where you have to write – especially if you are in school where you are assigned a lot of essays.
Many people freeze up and get frustrated as soon as they sit down to write. It does not have to be that way and this article will explain how easy it is!
Essays need to be interesting and informative as well as have a certain structure. If your essay is badly structured, it doesn’t matter how good your content may be. Nobody will want to read it.
Writing is easy! It could be said that it is just another form of speaking. You could also say that speaking is a form of writing.
So, it is really simple. Write as you speak!
It is best if you use fairly short sentences – 15 words or so – and not many long and complicated words unless it is necessary, due to the subject. A paragraph should not be too long either – around five sentences is good.
You help the reader a lot by putting in white space between the paragraphs. It makes it much easier to read.
Before starting to write, you should sit down with a pen and paper and start planning your essay. You must start by reading the assignment very carefully and be certain you really understand what you are to write about.
There are five sections in an essay as follows:
#1. Outline.
In the outline you start out with three or more ideas and then elaborate them. It is a good way to structure your essay.
#2. Introduction.
Your introduction is very important! This is where you catch the reader’s interest and make them want to read your essay to the end. You also introduce the topic and tell the readers what the essay is about.
#3. Thesis.
This is the central and most important part of your essay. You are stating your point here.
#4. Body.
In this part you go into details to explain your point and your reasons for it. With your words you will show the readers what is important and essential. Here you should use strong verbs and the present tense.
#5. Conclusion.
In the conclusion you sum up your points of view and underline the most essential things you have been discussing in your essay. Usually three to five sentences are enough.
There you have the structure! Now you just have to fill in the content.
Some people have a problem remembering the components of a good essay. For those people, educational software is available which will prompt them through the whole process.
As with any skill – practice makes the master!
It is best that you write for short periods of time – 10 to 20 minutes or so. If you write longer you will probably start criticizing yourself. If it is possible take a break and do something completely different and start over after a while.
It is important to just write and not start editing. This can get you stuck. Let the editing be the last thing you do.
Allow yourself to create a “sloppy copy.” You should revise and proofread it after you’ve gotten the main discussion on the screen or paper.
Sometimes I have found it difficult to start with the introduction and get it right from the beginning. I usually write something and then go on to work on the body and then go back to the outline, introduction and thesis and make any necessary changes. It is a personal matter and you will hear other writers say something else. The important thing is to keep writing!
Finally it is good to “back track” yourself. Read the conclusion first and then move upwards to the beginning to make sure everything holds together and make sense.
Writing professional essays is a matter of taking one step at a time and not allowing yourself to become overwhelmed with the project.

Writing very effective articles need not to be a challenging task. You can make it easier and hassle-free by simply keeping these tips in mind:
1. Stick with what you know. As much as possible, stick with topics that you know pretty well. Writing will become easier and even enjoyable for you if you’re confident that you’ll be able to explain your topics without a problem.
2. Practice makes perfect. Writing, just like any other task, will get easier and will get plain and simple through constant practice. Thus, I recommend that you make at least one hour per day and spend it tapping on your keyboard. If you do this, there’s a huge chance that you’ll get the hang of it in no time.
3. No big words please. Don’t worry if your vocabulary doesn’t include big, fancy words. You’ll be happy to know that online users simply hate to see these words on articles that they’re reading. Explain your thoughts using words that you would usually use when having conversation with your friends so you can avoid confusing your readers.
4. Develop an outline. This one will really do the trick for you. Before you start writing, think of all the things that you would like to include in your content. Ideally, you must have a clear idea on how you’re going to start and end your articles. Additionally, determine how you can make your articles stand out from the crowd. Challenge yourself to be more creative. Don’t be boxed up with the norm and instead, take advantage of your creative juices. This is one way to make sure that boredom will not eat you during the whole process. Use new concepts or new elements that might excite your readers.
5. Use easy writing formats. You’ll be able to easily put together great content if you use how-to and question and answer format. These formats will help you share your thoughts and ideas in a no-nonsense manner.
6. Write your articles. Don’t be pressured to finish your articles in a couple of minutes as this will easily tire you out. Instead, savor each moment and have a great time. Write as if you’re having a fruitful conversation with somebody who wants to know what you know. Take pride in helping your readers and be very generous when giving out information that they can use.
7. Write first thing in the morning. This might be challenging to you especially if you’re not a morning person. But I suggest that you at least try it. Try to go to bed early and wake up around 5am-6am when your household and surroundings are generally quieter. I’ve tried and it helped me think clearly and write even faster. With this writing schedule, I get to write at least 15 articles in 3 hours or less. Try it!
8. Work on one-hour segments. There was a time when I thought that the best way to multiply my articles is to write them for 3-4 straight hours. I was wrong. I’ve discovered that staying in front of your computer for that long will give you headaches and you’ll surely run out of creative juices. As you know, headaches will not let you think clearly. So, I suggest that you work on one hour segments. Write and concentrate on your articles for full 60 minutes. Then, have a quick break. Go back in front of your computer when you feel that your mind and body are somewhat energized.
9. Use article writing tools. There are so many tools available in the online arena today that can help you speed up this process. For example, you can use keyword suggestion tools, anti-content duplication software, voice recognition software, grammar and spell checkers, etc. These will help you avoid doing other related tasks manually so you can save time in the process.
10. Need ideas? Go to forums that are popular among your target readers. Spend as much time as you need to discover new questions that they’ve posted or new problems that they’re encountering. List them down. Then, determine which of these topics are related to theme of your website or those topics that will allow you to pitch in your products and services at the end of your articles.
