How to Create 10,000 Words of Content in a Day

I guess we all know that creating content is the most important aspect of what we are taught here at WA.

The main focus of WA is to learn Blogging and SEO.

This means that we must consistently write articles until the search engines, such as Google, start to trust us (our websites), and start ranking our content (hopefully high on page one).

And then we carry on with this same process, over-and-over again.

You continue to do this, while following everything you learn here, you WILL be successful.

However, for some, coming up with content ideas may be difficult.

Whereas, for others, writing an article and achieving the “coveted” 1,000 words seems almost impossible.

NOTE: I will say that 1,000 words has never been my aim for an article, but simply providing all the information that relates to my article subject. Whether this takes 100 or 10,000 words depends on the topic at hand.

Don’t hate me for it, I typically average around 2,500-3,000 words per article, but that’s just me.

Anyway..

What I’d like to introduce you to is a way to produce a COLOSSAL amount of content in just a few hours.

If You Can Talk You Can Write

Did you know that the average person speaks approximately 100-130 words a minute (based on most words being 2-3 syllables long)?

Now I did say average, I’m guessing someone like me could probably chat absolute waffle at a rate of about 300 words per minute, but that’s by-the-by.

So, as I’ve mentioned here, if you have the ability to talk, then you have the ability to write (I mean no offence by this, as I am very aware that not all of us have the ability of speech).

This means (on average) that we can speak around 6,000-7,800 words an hour.

Admittedly, it’s extremely difficult to talk non-stop for an hour (even for me), especially if you don’t have a specific subject to talk about (I’m getting to that in a minute).

So, why not harness the power of speech to help you produce content?

There are literally 1,000s of speech to text apps, software, etc.

However, one of the easiest speech to text platforms to use, doesn’t require you to download anything.

In fact, all you need is a Google account.

I’m going to lay everything out for you now.

Ready?

How to Produce a Truckload of Content

Okay, for just one day a week I want you to forget everything you’ve learned at WA.

Forget keyword research.

Forget words per article.

Forget Quality.

I even want you to forget about making any sense.

(Just one day a week though - don’t make this a daily habit).

Firstly, you are going to visit the various question and answer websites online:

Here’s a list from Wikipedia - Comparison of Q&A Sites

So, that’s an awful lot of questions and answers going on.

My personal favourites to use are Quora and Reddit

Next type in your base subject:

• Fitness
• Weight Loss
• Dating & Relationships
• Beauty Products
• Pets
• Make Money Online
• Self-Improvement
• Babies
• Weddings
• Food

Whatever it may be.

You could even go one step further and type in your actual niche.

You will then be greeted by literally thousands (if not millions in some cases) of questions and answers.

Next open up Google Docs.

I prefer to do this on my phone, as I can use the microphone option without having to attach an actual microphone, plus I can use my laptop for research purposes (reading my questions).

Pick the first question, it doesn’t really matter what it is, and answer the question by talking into your phone (remember you have Google Docs open on your phone).

This will then type out every word you say.

I would suggest that you set a timer, say 30-45 minutes, and simply choose a question, and then answer it by talking into your phone.

If you know your subject well, you could probably quite easily answer 5-20 questions within the allotted time, depending on how in-depth you go.

Remember, it doesn’t have to make any sense, it doesn’t have to have any specific punctuation, it doesn’t need to follow an orderly format.

You are simply answering as many questions as possible.

Some questions you will immediately know the answer to and you could easily talk for about 3-4 minutes on the subject.

Other questions you won’t know as well, so you may only spend about 15 seconds talking from your limited knowledge.

It doesn’t matter, there’s no right or wrong here.

No-one but you is going to see what you’ve spoken about.

If you don’t know the answer to a question, move onto the next question.

At a guess, during a 45-minute session you will probably spend 25 minutes talking.

Therefore, based on the averages mentioned, you will produce 2,500 words.

You do this 4 times (3 hours in total), you’ve produced 10,000 words.

However, let’s face facts, this is 10,000 words of absolute garbage at the moment.

Let’s not put too fine a point on it, your words currently don’t make a lot of sense.

The Next Step

Something very interesting and wonderful will happen as you go through this process.

Firstly, your mind will awaken.

Your mind will be full of ideas.

In fact, you may find it difficult to control your overactive imagination.

You’ll start coming up with ideas for articles.

Subjects that you want to research further.

You’ll remember things that you’ve read before that are now firmly placed in your memory banks.

You’ll want to immediately run over to Jaaxy and check specific keywords.

You’ll suddenly have ideas (and basic content) for around 5, 10, 15, 20, 50+ different articles.

Basically, you have set the wheels in motion.

This can actually be a very joyous moment.

Where you were struggling for ideas before you now seem to have too many.

Use this newfound enthusiasm and start talking again into your phone.

Just list the ideas that you have come up with.

“First, I want to write an article about xxxxxx, then I remember seeing something about this on Facebook, so I’ll go back and check that again, plus didn’t I once read a negative take on this subject, etc. etc. etc.”

When you go back over the Google Doc with all the words you have spoken you will see specific questions, with the answers you have provided, where you have gone into great detail because you knew the subject well.

My recommendation would be to do a quick “fact check”.

Head back to these specific questions of whatever Q&A site you used.

Check the answers that others have given, see if there’s anything you’ve missed out.

Do a Google Search of the question, see if there’s anything further you could add, or could this potentially lead onto a completely different subject/article?

The reason for this is you could actually put an article together very quickly from this "detailed" information.

Putting it All Together

I can guarantee that just using a method like this for 2-3 hours once a week will give you enough ideas for content for perhaps your next 10, 20, or even 50 articles.

It’s now about curbing that enthusiasm ever so slightly and just concentrating on one article at a time.

You won’t have all the answers, you will still need further research on certain subjects, but you will have cut down the actual writing time a lot.

From your 10,000 words of spoken content pick your first article subject.

This will generally be one of the questions that you have answered in-depth, and that you did a quick fact check on (as mentioned above)

Do some keyword research, find something that fits in with it.

You already know that it’s a fairly popular subject, as you found it online on a Q&A site.

Make 5 bullet points and these can be the specific headings within your article

And then you simply write your article.

Oh no, SORRY.

Then you simply SPEAK your article.

Summing Up

Okay, this is a very basic outline of this concept.

Some of you may not have either the time or patience to give 3 hours to this on one particular day a week.

Simply cut down the process to fit in with YOU.

The actual “spoken” content you produce while you do this may not actually be very “usable”, but that’s not a problem.

The main idea here is to get the creative juices flowing.

With that said, when you talk about a subject you know well, you will typically find that your spoken content is PURE GOLD, and often it will take less than an hour to convert sections of it into an entire quality and ready to publish article.

This is just how the cookie crumbles.

And trust me, even if you do this for just one hour a week, you will come up with enough ideas for content to keep you going for the rest of the week, and perhaps even the month.

I’ve left a fair few details out here, as I just wanted to introduce the concept, and not end up writing 10,000 words here myself (just over 1,500 if you’re interested).

So, any questions please ask, and I’ll do my best to answer.

Thank you for reading
