A Full-Time Blogger’s Guide to Writing Faster

Spend less time writing, produce more content, have your mind last longer before getting mentally fatigued. More content earns more income!

I’ve been writing to help wannabe bloggers and freelance writers out here to succeed in their blogging journey through my publication — Hackwriting.

Having said that, I have accrued enough followers on both my own account and my publication’s page to have people telling me about their greatest struggles.

… it turns out their biggest struggle is publishing consistently or just publishing enough so that they can grow their blogs thanks to the volume of their articles (which I already established as something vital for bloggers, after all, each piece of content is an employee working for you, collecting your income).

That’s why I decided to give you my own tips and tricks on how I can post daily on this platform and still feed my dozens of blogs around the web.

If you want to write faster, more words and publish more often, then this is the guide for you!

Start By Deciding on the Keyword You’re Going to Target:

The most important thing of all is to decide on which topic you want to write about.

Many people limit themselves on choosing a keyword, but when I say you have to choose a keyword, I want you to mix it with what the audience searching for that keyword wants to read about.

As an example, the keyword for this article is “writing faster”, but I also know people who search for this probably want to read a “blogger’s guide” or are going to search guide to “writing faster”.

I combined everything into the title you see now….

…BUT here’s the kicker!

When I decided upon the title I had no idea what I was going to write about.

You’ll decide on the next step.

Write Your SubHeaders: The Juice of Your Articles

You only know what you’re going to write about when you decide upon your subheaders.

Each article has to give some value to the audience, and that’s the juice of the article.

For this value, for this juice, I often decide to include:

• Something the Reader WANTS to read;

• Something the Reader DOESN’T KNOW;

• Something that tackles KEYWORDS;

• Something that Entices the Reader to Read Another of Your Articles.

Now that you decided on what to write about, write those 4 things as the subheaders.

There, the article is almost written…

…but why?

Because by writing these elements you now divided the article into 6 pieces:

• Introduction

• Point 1

• Point 2

• Point 3

• Point 4

• Conclusion

You almost didn’t write yet, and spent about 5 minutes doing this, and yet the hardest part of the article is done.

Write about 100 words (it’s so fast) on each point and you have yourself a 4–5 minute read with close to no effort.

But it gets better!

Draft a Bunch of Skeletons First: Fill In the Gaps

What I do to make the process fast and easy is I do all of the drafts for that day early when I’m fresh, and I’ll just fill in the 100-word gaps during the day.

Honestly, your subtitles must have the bulk of the “juice”, so skimmers also get value out of the articles… the body of the text should just be a thorough explanation on how to interpret the header.

See what I did with this subheader? All in all, the juice we have here is that you should create drafts first and fill in the gaps later, I spend three paragraphs clarifying it, but some people may even understand it just by reading the header.

The body of the text is for those that didn’t get it or for search engines to see your content has a ton of words and isn’t low effort writing.

Also, by writing more words you’re increasing read time and have more chances of being picked up on keywords you didn’t even aim for, for instance in this present sentence I wrote the keyword “increasing read time” and I didn’t even think of it.

Start Writing and Enjoy the Ride: The Good Thing About Using This Method

The good thing about using this method is that writing the drafts is very easy and doesn’t consume time or effort, so you do it without a problem.

Filling in with 100-word slices isn’t too boring, not as boring as writing an article like most of you usually do, but it still gets old pretty quickly.

Well, the good thing about this method is that you’ll see that once you start filling in the gaps, you’ll see each section passes surprisingly fast, and you already have the next section ready so it’s brainlessly easy and resistance-free to just continue.

Not only that but since you’re just reading the subheader and explaining what you meant to say you can “turn off” your brain and work in “auto-pilot”.

You’ll see that by working with this technique you’ll be ready to pump out more words per day than ever before, and your content will also benefit because you’ll be “losing yourself” less since you have the foundations laid for you already and can’t divert course just because your writing voice tells you to.
