Are You Having Article Writers' Block?

A lot of people get stuck when they sit down to write an article, myself included. I find it hard sometimes to get words to flow naturally in a manner that makes any logical sense. But, I've got a huge tip for those who are stuck in an article writing rut.

  1. Find an existing article on the topic you want to write about. Chances are, there are millions of them.
  2. Read one paragraph at a time, and find the key sentence.
  3. Write a new paragraph of your own based on that one key sentence.
  4. Change the intro and/or conclusion paragraphs (usually to point to your site/sales pages), and throw in some nice formatting.
I recently used this technique at my treadmill desk blog to very quickly write an 800+ word article, and man did it save time!

Bonus Tip

Once you get the hang of it, look for some good dictation software so that you can simple speak into a microphone instead of typing the entire thing. I personally use the free Dragon Dictation for iPhone/iPad (non-affiliate link) and then email myself the unformatted text, but I hear Windows 7 (and maybe Vista?) has a pretty good built-in dictation program.

Good luck, and happy writing!

Thanks Jason. I do this often, as such i can churn out an article within an hour for a starter.
Nothing is new anymore so you can as well rephrase from a host of other articles.
Good one!

Totally agreed. Very little is actually new, but there's always a new way to say it.

Very nice tip! That's how I used to take notes in school, but it's been so long I'd forgotten about it.

Yeah, it's funny when you start remembering your old school lessons and then applying them to an Internet business. Makes it seem worth it after all, eh? :)

Fabulous tip Jason! Going to give it a try and hope it speeds things up.

Great, best of luck! Steve in Chat suggested to take snippets from multiple articles instead of just 1, that way your content is even *more* unique.
