Writing Content eats up my time
just to let you know. I am still alive and here!
Wow. I never imagined that writing content would eat up so much of my time. I am writing my second blog content and I spent already 3 Days doing it.
Hopefully I can post it tonight. But even after 4 hours of writing today I have not all in yet. There will be a grammar review after and the linking stuff and pictures... Wow. I have way more respect for all those bloggers out there now.
After that blog I will keep up with my studies here at WA
How do you feel about content writing? Will I be faster after a while?
sending out love

You always get better and faster with more and more practice.
I spend all day writing, for others, for me. My current record in over 10,000 words per day. ( that does NOT happen every day!)
A book, just about ANY kind of book usually takes some research and checking. The vast majority of the writing I do is on subjects I am very knowledgeable about, so it usually just flows.
It's like anything else, it needs to be developed and its muscle to be constantly exercised. The longer you do it, the better you get at it and the easier it becomes. Hang in there and keep writing!
It will definitely get faster as you become more familiar with the whole style of writing...
You can do some things to speed the process up...
(1) Pick out a series of keywords for say a month period of posts...Depending on how many you want to do in a week, get them together for 4 weeks worth...
(2) Do some research on each to see what others are doing, get some quotes with citation info, gather some images that will complement, look for videos from YouTube that you could embed, etc.
(3) Lay this out using a spreadsheet or other tool, so you then have a definite plan for 4 weeks worth of posts...
(4) If you want to take it to the next level, then do draft posts on your site - do not publish them, just get the page ready using whatever structure you like and are familiar with...
You now are ready to more quickly get these posts done and published on whatever schedule you have set for yourself!
If you want to go another step further, plan out for two months...Go through this same process...
As yo get faster, you will start having your posts done well ahead of your schedule...This is where the real beauty of your system comes in....
Now you can complete blog posts ahead of time and schedule them for publication on the dates you choose...
Do you see what just happened? You have extra time for yourself and your family because you are organized and a workaholic!
Have fun!
Cheers!

Na, nur am pool zu hause...Es ist nicht so gross aber es reicht um ein paar schoene runde zu schwimmen - abkuhlen und dann - ein prostsit hehe! Hier is schon bis zum 40 grad taglich...Oooof : )
I've only managed one post and been here a week. Information overload had given me perpetual brain fart.
You will be fine! have a look at the advice I gave to Uta - this is something I do all the time to leverage my hours and get more done in the same time....Hang in there!! Cheers! Dave : )
yeah, it's 'work'! but after a month of doing it suddenly I got 5 sign ups to my site since Saturday...so the system works!
Yes it gets easier and you will get faster at writing content.
Here is something to thank about. Let's say your goal is to make $2000 a month. Well that means you are going to have to do something that is worth $2000. If that something is writing content writing and takes you a day to write content was it worth it. Of course it was.
definitely!!! I am not complaining as it is quite fun to do.
Just time is flying while doing it. I started at 9am and at 2pm i realized i was hungry and was shocked that my day passed that quickly and i am still not finished with it.
the goal sounds great, but as i am at the very beginning i do not expect income before 6 month or so.
thank you for your respond. highly appreciated
I knew you were not complaining just wanted to help point out that in the beginning it is hard but when we have our eyes on the prize it gets a whole lot easier. I know you will do this because many will not take the time even to write the content. You are getting there and it gets better as you go along.
I would say it depends on the post you are writing. Some posts might take hours of research to do a good job and others might only take a few minutes of research. The research is where the time gets really chewed up on my end, especially for a topic I don't know.
3 days is probably quite a lot more time than normal to spend on one post, but it depends on a lot of factors including post length, research up front, prior background knowledge etc.
You can always try writing the most you possibly can in 30 minutes or less to give yourself a window. This might be a good way to to 'timebox' your content development.
wow - 30 minutes seem quite short for me.
well - i know the topic super well and the research is mainly on points where i need to resure myself that this is correct. in my research i come along points i did not had in mind but do matter a lot to this topic.
So as i am writing about my decison way and about my research before i bought the board i try to sell here. All important points the potential buyer needs to consider to choose the best for themselfs is quite a lot of knowledge and choises.
but i think in the end this article/blog gone be super helpful and guiding to buy at least something affiliated to my site :)
thanks for responding ... highly appreciated
