The Key To Writing Blog Posts Fast

How long does it take to write a blog post? Some professional bloggers spend hours constructing their blog posts. But do you have to spend that long on your blog writing?

Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with taking hours to construct a blog post. If your full-time occupation is blogging and you have hundreds of thousands of daily readers who rely on your insights then you probably want to spend that long constructing meaningful blog writing that keeps your visitors coming back. That’s how your advertisers are going to judge the value that you place on their ads.

But what if you are writing a company blog that is used as a marketing tool. Is it necessary to spend an entire day writing your blog post? I say No, and furthermore, you wouldn’t get anything else done if you did that. Time management is key.

How Long Should It Take to Write a Blog Post?

There’s no easy answer to that question. It should take as long as it takes to write something meaningful and valuable for your readers. Blog Content Provider has worked out a system that allows our writers to write a blog post in less than fifteen minutes. Some of our better blog ghostwriters do it in less than ten. I’ve been known to write a blog post in two minutes – and, no, I wasn’t timing an egg.

The trick is to know what you are going to write before you start writing. To do that effectively, you need to have a list of topics handy before you start writing. It helps to have a keyword list as well. For every blog we take on, Blog Content Provider puts together a list of keywords and topics so that we know what we will be writing about in the months and years ahead. If the direction of the blog changes at any time then we update our lists. It’s as simple as that.

It also helps to have some previous knowledge or experience of a particular field. We try to pair up our writers with experience in a certain area with blogs that pertain to that topic. People who have worked in a certain field before have a certain knowledge that comes off the top of the head and that can’t be faked or learned through research. They’ve already done the research, you might say.

BCP Tips For Writing Blog Posts Quickly

I have given you two things that help blog writers write blog posts quickly. Here is a list of things you can do to make sure that you can write blog posts quickly and save yourself some time:

• Know your subject before you start writing
• Have a list of topics handy so that you can quickly choose a blog topic to write about without conducting much research
• Make your blog writing keyword focused
• Rather than create blog categories “as you go,” predefine them and enter them into your blog template before you start blogging
• Subscribe to RSS feeds from similar blogs and read them every day; by knowing what other bloggers are writing about, you can come up with topics quickly and never experience writer’s block

Writing quick blog posts is not necessary, but managing your time is. Knowing what you will blog about before you start blogging is essential. If you blog at the same time every day then you can plan your blog time better and you will write better blog posts. You don’t have to be Ernest Hemingway to be a successful blogger, but you should know your subject well enough that you can write about it at any time at the mere sound of a pin drop. Can you?
