Create Popular Articles in Record Time: Lightning Techniques for Fast, Effective Articles
Pump out the volume: set your article writing on speed dial.
Do you want to bump up the number of articles you write each day? Fast writing, once mastered, can help you to increase your article output without sacrificing quality.
How to Write Fast? Use the 4 C’s: Captivating, Concise, Correct, Current
Captivating: Use an interesting title that catches readers’ attention, motivating them to read more. Your title should let readers know, at a glance, that this is information:
A: They are looking for: “How to Make Damnably Delicious Pizza.”
B: They need to know: “How to Lose Ugly Belly Fat After Binging on Pizza.”
C: They’ll find entertaining “How John Travolta and Kelly Preston Fell Out of Love at a Local Pizza Parlor.”
D: That sparks their curiosity “Code Red! What Happened When One Man Gorged Himself On Pizza . . .”
Concise: Get to the point quickly. Busy readers don’t want to wade through verbosity. Which paragraph below would you continue reading?
A: “The overly portly man with the slightly rounded balding pate reached out with rapidity towards the large rich-looking pizza that was loaded down with numerous tempting-looking ingredients . . . “
B: “The fat, balding man grabbed a chunk of awesome-looking pizza . . .”
Correct: Make sure your facts are on target. Fast writing does not mean sacrificing quality. Research your article, proofread and edit it. Let it sit, then read it a couple of times. Do a quick check that each paragraph terminates with a period. Read up from the bottom to catch any errors you missed scanning down the page.
Current: Popular articles are articles the majority of people can relate to. Which article would you read?
A:”Pizza Parlors”
B: “Make Knock-’Em-Dead Pizza Every Time”
Using the 4 C’s, you, too, can craft articles quickly and painlessly, joining the ranks of experienced writers who produce popular articles in record time.

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for your comments.

Ehhh… I am horrible at all of these. Picking a title is always hard for me…I am too verbose. I can never get to the point because I get side tracked into other branching topics. For ex- I would have combined this article and the 10 minute article together LOL. But, you made two articles with two topics that are related, but seperated. I am going to keep your four C’s in mind and apply them to my next article. Thanks for the advice.

BTW: I love the Captivate, Concise, Correct, Current, even though I think it should be used without the speed of light pace. SO, I SU’d and buzzed.

Hi Jo,
I’m grinning as I read your remarks about titles. You’ll see what I mean in a couple of days (can’t let the cat out of the bag yet!). Writing is so darn interesting, it is easy, however, to get sidetracked and go off into the land of the muse.
I have to admit, this series of article arose out of my frustration at my own snail’s pace. I did some research to see how I could boost my productivity and then decided to share what I had learned in a series of motivational articles.
