Write Like the Wind

Yes, a bit of a play on words, the actual song is “Ride Like the Wind” by Christopher Cross. The point of today’s post is how you can write a lot, fast, thus Write like the wind. There are several methods to come up with blog posts and articles quickly.

This is a second post, the first was written a couple days ago Writing for Internet Success.  Michelle Shaeffer of the Ultimate Blog Challenge added a method and I wanted to share a few more.


Brainstorm ~ via Michelle Shaeffer

In this method, you sit down and think of all the article topics you would like to cover. Write down the topic, a title, whatever comes to your mind. Write down something that might seem random but you know how to tie it into what you need.

Multiple angles

Almost any subject can be covered from multiple angles. What if you were writing about computer repairs? You could have an article about hard drive problems, problems with software, problems with hardware or problems from viruses.

Write children articles.

Now before you tell me you don’t write about children, I mean the article. You write a post covering very basic information. Then write articles to further explain what you covered. Maybe you wrote about places to find videos cheap, this would be the parent article. The children would be articles providing more information about each of the places.

But I am writing for a blog!

Just because you wrote several articles or posts it does not mean you have to post them all. You can post one on one subject and use a different subject next. Then after you cover a few subjects go back, like a rotation through all the posts you have. This way you have variety and have covered what you need.

  1. MJ, I love the way you break down the various ways we can make the blog challenge less challenging! I've used multiple angles, but never thought of writing 'children articles.' This is such a cool idea and I will be happily adding that to my blog strategies. Thank you for sharing.Yvonne

    I use a similar method using mind-mapping. You put the main topic in the middle of the page with branches off with different ideas. You can either use the branches as new posts or chapters in a book. Julia M LindseyOur Little Books

    Yvonne, Thank you, although I did forget to link to the previous post that added more ideas. I added the link in and may add more ideas today. Actually I will explain my favorite technique, it's been a popular post. :) ~MJ
