How to write an SEO article fast (and error free)?

How to write an SEO article fast (and error free)?




I usually finish an SEO article in 50-60 minutes; and within these minutes, I do some research, thinking, writing, re-writing, editing, and mailing the article to my SEO team.

When I say an SEO article, I mean an article that is 430-490 words long, and which is highly readable. You can be done with an article (of the same length) in 18-20 minutes, when you just don’t care about the quality, and what you have been writing about.

Here is how I (most of the times) write my SEO articles fast and error free:
 


A

I worked on my typing speed early in my career

Early in my writing career, my senior encouraged me to speed up my typing speed. It was a struggle for a week or two to type without looking at the key board; but that one or two weeks of struggle helped me till this day.

I write without looking at the keyboard, and I write fast; this surprises many, even today.

You won’t take more than a week or two to type like this; and soon you’ll be typing without looking at the keys, and writing fast.

B

I write as if I am talking to my buddy

Writing is a lonely job, but then you have the ability to imagine, right? When I write, I write for an imaginary friend of mine. I write as if I am talking to him; this helps me write fast, and with confidence.

Suppose you’re tasked to write an article on a keyword ‘Cancer Hospital in Delhi’; now read for 10-15 minutes about the subject, and then write as if you’re explaining the thing to your friend.

C

I don’t edit when I am writing; I edit when I am done writing

I have seen quite a number of SEO content/copy writers who do writing and editing almost simultaneously; I think this delays the process. The right way is to write first, and then edit later.

 D

Write outline

Now this one gem of a tip for writing fast. Think what you want to write, and then write an outline. To writer faster, jot down some sub-headings.

If you’re a new bee in the writing business, then you should read some books on Grammar and Writing; this will help you understand Grammar and Writing better, and avoid common mistakes that most of the beginners (as well as experienced) writers make in their SEO articles. I’d suggest ‘Elements of Writing’ and ‘Woe Is I’ to get familiar with the Grammar thing.
