    How To Create Instant Articles In Minutes And Get Rated An Expert

    or . . . ‘How I Quit Hating Writing Articles And Learned To Love It’

    Note: A version of this was sent to several small businesses who had contacted me but we ultimately realized they couldn’t afford my services.

    They found the email so helpful that I thought all of you may want to know about how to write in minutes, something that used to take hours and most people hate doing — writing articles for marketing your business.

    I used the Instant Article Wizard from Jonathan Leger. From what I’ve seen so far it’s worth the chump change to buy it because it saved me many times that on the first article I wrote using it.

    So here’s the test I put it through . . .

    Last weekend I sat down to put it through its paces and in 2 hours created 2 weeks’ worth of blog posts and 5 articles to promote the ROI copywriting biz.  That’s 10 blog posts and 5 articles – 15 content-heavy pieces within 2 hours!

    Normally it takes just that to do all the planning and write the first draft of just one 400+ word article!

    No, they weren’t entirely polished, but most of the heavy-lifting was done and I did them faster using the Instant Article Wizard. As you know, once all the content has been created, editing is a far easier task than creating a piece from scratch and then editing it.

    Now it looks like I may need to revamp my entire content creation process. As you may have noted, the finished product (which I consider is a decent first draft) was very keyword-dense and in the final drafts I’ve cut out about half of the keywords on mine.

    But that in my mind wasn’t a real test because I already knew a lot about the subject matter.

    The question still was – did the Instant Article Wizard do as Leger claimed? Could it enable me to write an article on a subject I knew nothing about and have it pass a human editor on one of the article submission sites?

    The Bigger Test

    So I made of list of individuals who could use my copywriting skills but couldn’t afford my fees and also, I had to know little to nothing about their product or service. I chose 7 individuals and small companies that, if they were to hire me, I’d have to do a fair bit of research just to write intelligent and effective promotion copy.

    So the test was to write 7 articles on subjects I knew nothing about. It had to take 15 minutes or less for each, which works out to a total of 105 minutes, or just shy of 2 hours.

    I didn’t tell any of them what I was doing and they got a good first draft article out of the blue from me.

    The Results

    Well, it took me 2 hours and 5 minutes but I think that was because I was new to the program. Still, I’ve rarely created one article in that time.

    So it’s a huge productivity saver right there!

    The general consensus was that everyone was excited about how quickly they could gnerate good content with the least amount of work.

    If you click on the link above and buy the Instant Article Wizard, I’ll get a couple bucks. But I’m hoping you, dear reader, have been reading me long enough to know  . . .

    1.) that’s not why I’m recommending it and, 2.) I’m recommending it because it’s something I use and because I think that it’s a HUGE timesaver — not for the affiliate commission (which is really, really small).

    And if the affiliate process bothers you, then I’m sure you know how to circumvent it and it won’t bother me if you don’t. Like I said, the commission isn’t worth getting worked up over.

    I’m totally about the win-win scenario. If you’ve read the blog for any length of time then you know I don’t contribute to the Big Charities, but I work behind the scenes with select small businesses and individuals who are just starting. Just like I have done with some of you reading this.

    That’s how I give back and it’s my way of making the world a better place.

    Sure, it’s just the business world, but hey, I gotta start somewhere, right? It’s always gratifying when the people I choose to help just freakin’ run with what I give them and it has shown me that sometimes, folks just need a leg-up out of the starting blocks.
