How to Write Articles in Bulk

Basing several articles on the same research materials makes sense. It's like killing several writing birds with one stone. How can you grow the habit and improve your standing as a writer?

When researching, you find a lot of information which you know is useful but not applicable to the current article. The tendency is to skimp through it and search for material relevant to your current project. This means you spend time on it, but gain nothing. How can you make better use of your research and time?

Preparing to research for several articles at the same time saves you time and money. By carrying out research with several articles in mind, you work less per article because you visit the same sites you would visit when researching for one article. This saves you time.

Before starting your research, decide what number of articles you will write. Make note of each of the topics. This will help you decide the extent of your research. Three to five article topics will do.

Write down the articles' working titles each on a sheet of paper or card - I prefer an A6 size card. Under the titles, note the kind of information you will be seeking. Now, when you begin researching, make very brief notes of facts and figures, guided by the notes you have made. Aim to have about five major points on each card.

When you have taken enough notes, including relevant facts and figures for each of the titles, stop the research. Take a short break and do something different, like taking a twenty minute walk. When you come back, start writing the articles, either one at a time or a paragraph of each at a time. You will find that your writing speed has improved.

Submit your articles to the online publishers and link them up so that a reader of one is encouraged to read the other. Keep practicing batch article writing for several weeks. It will become second nature and you will find that writing five, ten or more articles each day is possible. This allows you to publish many articles within a short time, increasing your presence as a published writer. By researching and writing on a particular subject consistently, you develop into an expert. You can then offer to write for this niche for pay.

Writer for Good

Writing has been my main occupation for the last three years. Previously, I worked in various capacities mainly in the public service. I served in health administration for the final four years of employment. The writing bug finally bit so deep, I had to get out here where I belong. Besides various online writing assignments, scripts for electronic media, poetry and fiction, I write for and edit two print magazines; a bimonthly and a quarterly.
