Whenever there is talk of making money from writing articles, the first way everyone thinks of is ghostwriting.
This means writing articles for other people that they can use however they want and even put their own name on them as the author.
Ghostwriters only get paid once for each article they write, but because there is a constant demand for article writers, it’s possible to make a good living this way.
But as you can imagine, in this profession time really is money because you need to produce as many items as possible in the shortest amount of time. If you can only write one article per hour, you won’t make as much money as someone who can write 3 or 4 articles per hour, if you are paid the same amount per article.
Clients looking for article writers usually just want short articles with a quick turnaround time and don’t want to pay a lot for them. This is why you need to be able to write articles quickly.
Ideally, you should aim to complete an article, from research to proofreading, in 15 minutes. This means that you can produce 4 complete articles every hour.
If you write full time this can bring in a good income and as you continue to work your writing process will become easier and faster and you could end up writing up to 7 or 8 articles per hour.
I found that I can take an article idea and write it in 7 different ways, which has really speeded up my article production because I spend less time researching because I only have to do it once to produce 7 articles.
But when you’re first starting out, 15 minutes isn’t much time to write an article, so you need to practice.
But within a week you will find it easy to write 4 articles per hour including research and proofreading.
To do that, you need to be focused and only allow a minute or two for research and proofreading, and no more than 10 minutes for writing.
Time is money, so you don’t have time to procrastinate or criticize your own writing. Working under such tight time constraints can really help with that because it doesn’t leave you time to do anything except what you’re supposed to do.
And if you produce 4 items per hour, working 5 hours per day, 5 days per week, that’s 100 items per week.
Making it easy to see how to write faster can help you increase your income from ghostwriting articles.
