Creating content, my personal struggle
As I continue to grow here at Wealthy Affiliate, I feel some times I struggle with writing content. I have no problem coming up with the idea of the post, just the amount of content to make it a worthy post.
One little trick I started using to make it easier for me. I started putting together mini articles in one.
I would come up with the main theme and then write several mini theme titles in the post. So It would look like this.
How to create a blog post using mini articles
First thing I will make is a paragraph title
Then I would make another title
Then come up with another title
My post would look like this when I start writing. I would have several titles that would explain the main title. I would start writing mini articles for each one of the titles I came up with.
This would allow me to concentrate on coming up with smaller amounts of content. It has shortened my writing time in half. I pumped out 2 articles in no time this afternoon.
I found this really simplified my writing process and my articles actually got longer with more content. I didn't feel like I had to come up with over 1000 words for one topic.
I hope this helps with some of you having writing blocks.

If you feel it's holding you back you could consider hiring a professional writer. You could share your idea and let them create the content. You would then request revisions and edits.
You could use UpWork - A little more expensive
Fiverr - Get what you pay for but I've used with good results

Good idea. I haven't had difficulty writing, but I have a general outline (or group of titles) in my head of what I want to include in my article, then fill in the spaces. Same process you're using, I think.
It is known as outlining. The title of each mini-article should be a header. Google uses headers to know what the overall article is about.
I was stuck this morning. I took my article idea to Jaaxy. When I found an interesting long-tailed keyword I would Google the phrase and find what others where writing about it. Gave me a lot of good ideas both for sub-headers and article ideas..
Thank you all for your comments, sometimes I wish I could respond to each comment but sometimes I just run out of time. Thanks everyone! Happy writing!
This is great advice. I do the same. I take my topic, brainstorm to figure out some taking points, make those points my headings and then write content for each talking point.
That is a great idea. A lot of times I just have to spill all of my ideas into Word and go from there.
Got some good ideas there.
Writers block is one of the biggest hurdles we all need to over come, these ideas will definitely help many people.
Thanks Jrosenau. Sounds like a winner. I'll give that a try because that 1000 looks like a mountain to me.
