Write 1 Article in Less Than 30 Minutes
My record for completing an article is about 15–20 minutes
These are usually from 400-500 words and don’t sound too terrible.
Everything in life will seem harder if you keep thinking about it.
Readers have no time to waste; let’s get right into it.
Step 1.
Write a headline and then write a subtitle that says why or how the title is true, or supporting it.
Add any useful facts or details for reference, and choose an image that is somewhat related to your article.
Step 2.
Open with a short statement related to the topic or life. You can tell a story or anything that hits you first.
Step 3.
Now you just have to list out key points to write a little about in relation to the title and the main topic.
Writing fast often gives others an impression of low quality, but it really has to do with the writer.
Here are some examples.
What do they feel, and how are they expressing it?
Most readers are looking for something in your writing. We often don’t know why they read us. But that’s okay because a real reader isn’t trying to read the best writing daily.
Stay confident with your words, even if you are doubtful after you wrote them.
Whether they are a writer or a reader, the only audience, they are here to feel what you felt in what has happened, or just share an insight.
We are more than halfway done.
Step 4.
Depending on the length of the article, you should be wrapping up soon.
Before that, you have already given some kind of meaningful insight and examples.
Now, what you can do is deliver extra value on the topic, further demonstrate your point, or you can simply skip this step if you have already reached 400 words with steps 1–3.
Step 5.
Final thoughts or words
It’s always good to have a recap at the end or some kind of wrap-up to make the reader feel that they have done (read) something great.
It should be short and to the point, and a reminder for them to try or understand what you just said in that article.
I’m starting to use it more because it also helps capture my attention to summarize what I just wrote and say what I really want to say.
Give it a try, and formatting can help.

Some days I can write one in less than half an hour, but on other days it takes forever. And on some days, I find making a video post easier.
