What is the best way to speed UP my content creation campaigns? How many articles should I be able to write per hour? Per day? Will content marketing work for me if I'm NOT a fast writer? And what can I do if I'm extremely slow right now, without working harder or spending more time creating content?
Any of these questions sound familiar? In this article I'm going to share the super simple 2 step process that dramatically increased my own article output by a factor of probably five fold... and as an added benefit, helped me overcome most of my writers block challenges to boot. Curious to know more? Continue reading as we take a closer look below!
Filed Under: Create a Content Cornerstone (overarching outline) BEFORE you begin
I can't tell you how important this has been in my own content marketing campaigns. Quite simply, I used to just "wing it" when it came to writing articles, and I'd just come up with an idea, or challenge in my industry... and then I'd address it with an article.
Did this work?
Of course. I'd write a few articles, get a trickle of traffic, and I'd feel good about my progress. ...
... OF course, that didn't really lead to any LASTING results, and probably like you... I grew frustrated)! With the speed (or lack thereof) that my content was converting into clients, (and cash)!
The small change I made that yielded a world of difference?
Instead of just writing the articles willy nilly, I'd create a full content cornerstone, or outline of ALL my niche knowledge in one place BEFORE I began.
So I'd literally do a big "data dump" on paper (or pixel) of everything I know about a given topic within the actual niche... And the ideas started flowing like magic.
It's truly amazing what happens when you "dig down" within each area of your expertise, and add a new layer or dimension to each and every title.
For example - using mediation as our niche-
Rather than writing an article about the most common or popular types of mediation methods, I might find that there were 12-15 unique types of mediation that I had planned on covering in very general terms in that one article.
Using the content cornerstone approach, each of those topics now is an article.
And under THOSE articles, each of "gurus" that teaches that particular type of mediation might be another article.
And the unique benefits that this one method may provide over another may be another.
And what you eventually find out when you keep drilling down and expanding and expounding on this idea is amazing.
1 article title is now the firm foundation of an entire area of your perceived expertise and authority, and exponentially improves your audience on a very granular level as well.
More importantly - your niche KNOWLEDGE grows exponentially as well, which you can't fake. (And the people who WILL become your subscribers, community and clients will notice as well)
Quite simply, this CAN transform your business... as it has mine, but if speed is your concern, this will DRAMATICALLY expedite the process of content creation for you by a phenomenal factor.
I've found this not only allows me to write articles much more quickly, I'm often writing 3 new pieces of content to every 1 I used to in the past.
A quick way to REALLY make this effective?
Use this idea in combination with a TIMER! I use a meditation timer (ironically given our example above!) and I "give" myself 15 minutes to finish the article. If you think you CAN'T write articles in 15 minutes... I have a few thousand live published articles that have generated millions of readers that say otherwise! (and if you follow the above... so TOO will you)
