You may have seen Terry's amazingly thorough response in my Expert Briefs blog post the other day “How to Get Other People to Promote You“. If not, click on that. It will open in a new window so you can read it later. It's awesome.

If you're newer to the scene, Terry is an established marketer who I respect and enjoy very much.

Here's his official bio so you can be suitably impressed.

Terry Dean started his online business from scratch in 1996. He went from delivering pizzas for a living to building a million dollar Internet business promoted primarily through the Internet. Within a few years he was also consulting with home based businesses, local companies, and million dollar corporations. His original company and websites were sold in 2004, and he founded MyMarketingCoach, LLC. which is dedicated to coaching entrepreneurs in the 10 key principles of success in business and life.

I am a paying member of his Mentoring Club – and I love the content.

How to Write an Article or Blog Post in 30 Minutes or Less

by Terry Dean

Content is currency online…especially when it’s attention grabbing and entertaining.

The more great content you publish, the more likely it can be shared, attract your target eyeballs, and build a relationship with your audience.

Here are 10 quick ideas to help you produce content quickly and achieve better results consistently.

1. Fill a notebook with ideas.

A blank page is a painful experience.  So never start with one.

Look for ideas constantly.  Keep a notebook with you to jot down ideas for your articles, videos, podcasts, and any other form of content.

I’m a little old fashioned and keep a small notebook and pen handy whenever the ideas comes.

You can also use the digital recorder on your phone.  The point is to capture the concept when it’s fresh.

When you sit down to write, you have a collection of ideas ready to go.

2. Keep an eye out for stories and metaphors.

Everything that happens in your life is potential fodder for a story.

For example, I regularly share marketing concepts from my dogs.  They’re a part of my life.

We live in the age of the celebrity.  You become a “mini-celebrity” in front of your audience as you let them peek inside your life.

The key here is to always relate the stories and principles back to your message.

3. Write first.  Edit later. 

Don’t confuse the two.  Write first.  Come back and edit it later or the next day.

If you’re trying to do both at once, it’s like writing with the brakes on.

You’re not going anywhere.  If you find yourself constantly editing while you write, you can even turn your monitor off to keep from distraction.

And don’t even think about trying to write with your browser open to other sites and distractions.

4. Use a series of tips.

A tips article like this one is much quicker to produce.

It only takes a couple of paragraphs about each tip.

Plus, these types of articles are easy to read as well.

I’ve done anywhere from 3 tips up to 21.  A bonus to the 21+ tip articles is they can often become series as well.

5. Create an ongoing series.

Break up your content to multiple days.  It becomes part 1, part 2, and part 3.

That one idea quickly morphs into a week of content or more.

The best use of this is when you have a large topic that needs to be broken into easy to follow bite-sized chunks.

6. Batch content.

You already have ideas in your notebook.  When you have a quiet writing session, such as in the early morning, churn out multiple pieces at once.

Once you’re flowing, don’t stop.  Keep going.  As soon as the first article is done, start the next one.  And keep it up until the inspiration is gone.

Getting the momentum going is the hard part.  You’ll get much more accomplished if you just hold on when it’s already moving for you.

7. Concise is better.

When you shooting for 30 minutes or less, you’ve got to keep it short.

You’ll not going to produce a monster sized 2,000 word foundational post for a blog in that timeframe.

But the majority of your content doesn’t need to be that anyway.  Most of my articles hover at 500 words or less.

There’s nothing wrong with 150 words if you can get your message across in that time frame.

People have a short attention span today.

8. Paste extra ideas in another document.

As you’re writing, other ideas will bounce through your head.  Don’t veer off in the wrong direction in your current piece, but you don’t want to lose the idea.

Anytime other ideas pass through your mind, toss them over in another document or idea file.  You can work on that idea for the next article.

9. Look for Q&A opportunities. 

Here’s another of my favorites.  People likely ask you questions by email or social media.

Use those questions as launching points for future content.

If one person has the question, others will also.  Publish the question (or the relevant portion) and answer in your article.

10. Become a reader.

The more you read, the easier it is to write.

You should also expand your reading outside of just “business materials.”

What other interests do you have?  Read on those subjects as well.  You’ll expand your knowledge base and your idea file.

Can you see why I love this guy?

I will give you a few of my tips, but first, let me remind you about Terry's Marketing Mentor Program, so you can see if it's right for you.

In my opinion, this is for people who have already gotten past the initial hurdles and are ready for some serious butt-kicking.

Should you buy it?

NO. I would not recommend it for you if you're brand new and don't even have a blog or list yet.

YES! – If you're already building a list and you have a product under your belt, then this can DEFINITELY help you to grow your business.

So, what else can help you to be a prolific writer? Three more tips from me.

I have three tools in my arsenal that I use. A ding, a draft, and a doodle. (Cute, eh?)

1. A ding.

I have two timers on my desk at all times. Setting a time allows me to brain dump an article quickly, rather than taking my sweet time in writing it. The quality of the article (after editing) is pretty much equal whether I write it in 20 minutes or 2 hours, so using a timer gives me more time to enjoy life.

I do need to upgrade my timer, though, after seeing this little owl timer! I SO need him! Isn't he adorable?!

Kikkerland Owl Kitchen Timers

2. A draft.

Whenever I get an idea for a blog post, I click on “Add New” in my blog's dashboard and I start a new blog post with that title. I then save it as a draft. That way, the next time I run into writer's block, I can open my drafts and see if anything catches my attention.

3. A doodle.

When I'm stuck in writing a longer piece, like a report or ebook, I doodle. I grab a notebook and start bubbling out my entire piece. That pen on paper action, combined with the freedom of linking things together while scribbling really helps me to make sense of the way that I want to teach something.

Here's an example of one that I doodled before a presentation that I did about Outsourcing.

What about you?

Let's talk.

• What are your best tips for writing quickly?
• What are your biggest frustrations with creating content?
• Got any questions for me or Terry?

Let me know in the comments below.

Warmly,
Nicole

PS again. Terry and I are not related nor married, by the way, in case you were wondering. (People ask all the time.)

I want to make it easy for you to make money with my affiliate programs.

One thing I understand as an affiliate is that you're busy. I totally get that. 100% And, more importantly, I respect that as a busy marketer myself.

Therefore, I will write a unique blog post just for you that will include your affiliate links for any of my affiliate programs.

Here's the deal. You shoot me 2-4 questions. They can be your biggest burning questions or just a few simple ones for beginners. I'm not picky as long as they are about one of the following topics:

To promote EasyPLR.com:

Topics – PLR, content and content marketing, blogging, affiliate marketing, list-building, etc.

To promote JustAddSweat.com:

Topics – working from home questions, business ideas (mostly geared towards women)

To promote the Blog Tour Guide:

Topics – questions about getting exposure and endorsements from influential people in your market.

I'll write up a blog post, interview-style, that answers all of your questions and send it to you – with your affiliate link included in the blog post.

You can then copy & paste it right into your blog.

You get fresh, unique content written by me!

If you'd like in on this offer, I'll need the following:

1. Your 2-4 questions.
2. Your blog URL.
3. Your full name that you signed up for the affiliate program with (so I can look up your affiliate ID) if the interview will promote EasyPLR.com – or your clickbank ID for the others.

Send those three things to helper@easyplr.com and I'll write it up for you.

My requirements are –

1. Your blog must be family-friendly and somehow related to online business. Plus, no yucky stuff.
2. You must promote the blog post by sending a note to your lists and Tweeting about it on Twitter.
3. No Adsense Ads in the blog post itself.
4. I have the right to refuse for any reason, at my discretion.
5. I have no time or patience for stinkers. If you're not a stinker, feel free to contact me.
6. You can't edit my words without permission – obviously, because then I'd have no idea what I was on the web saying. (Scary!)

I really look forward to hearing from you! (Remember to send the info to helper@easyplr.com)

Have a fabulous weekend!

Warmly,
Nicole Dean

Hi,

Nicole here from EasyPLR.com

I love PLR. Do you?

What I don't love is wasting money on content that I can't use.

I personally don't like to join new PLR sites without knowing
what they offer inside the members area. Because of that, I'd
like to give you “peeks” into this month's content at one of
my favorite PLR sites.

They just updated their content for October. So, here's a peek
into some of the PLR content that you can download today
(including article titles, report titles, and product review
specifics).

1. Marketing Content.
30 articles, 10 product reviews, 1 short report, and 10 “how to”
pieces — see the marketing PLR titles that are included here.

2. Health Content.
Special report, 30 articles, 10 product reviews, and 10 healthy
recipes.
View the health content titles here.

3. Mom Content.
Here you'll get a report, recipes, 30 articles and 10 product
reviews — all about things moms care about.
Here's what's included this month:
October Mom Content Sneak Peak

This same service also offers content about finance, crafting,
and travel. They even have research and press packages.

I recommend that you check out all of the available PLR content.

Have a wonderful, productive day.

Warmly,
Nicole

If you're a preschool teacher, a daycare owner, or a mom who does a lot of fun crafts with her kids, I want you.

I am looking for a few good craftie writers for ShowKidstheFun.com

If you're interested, please either post below (and I'll email you) or email me through the link at the bottom of the ShowKidstheFun.com page.

The pay is low per craft, but I don't expect long, perfect articles, either. If you can write and submit five or more crafts per hour, the pay is reasonable for an at-home assignment. Of course, if you include a photo of the craft, I'll pay more.

Looking forward to hearing from you clever moms!
Nicole

These are not typical PLR. They are professionally written and also run through a second writer/editor afterwards who adds even MORE value to them. This is quality PLR.

I welcome you to check out the low, low intro price before it goes up again.

Let me know what you think!
Warmly,
Nicole
