There seem to be a lot of article writing challenges going on these days. I'm coming up on the end of a 90 articles in 90 days challenge. Most others I've seen are for writing 30 articles in 30 days.
I have to admit, I'm nowhere near reaching my goal of writing 90 articles in 90 days. But I've realized, the important thing about a challenge isn't how many articles you end up with.
An article writing challenge is an opportunity to develop article writing and marketing habits that can keep you writing consistently for a long time to come. You can also learn some tricks to keep you focused on writing faster and creating more effective articles.
Here are some of the tips and tricks I've picked up during my challenge.
1. Write first thing in the morning. The best time I (and many other writers) have found to write is first thing in the morning, before the kids are up and even before you check your email. Your ideas will be fresher, and you'll be able to get more done, without any distractions.
2. Set a timer. Set a timer for 30 minutes or so, and tell yourself you can't do anything except write your article until your timer goes off. Your articles will be of a higher quality because you're not allowed to think about anything else!
3. Find a cheerleader. Connect with others who are taking your challenge, or people who write articles regularly. You can share ideas, successes and frustrations.
4. Ask for help. Remember you don't have to do it all on your own. Using an article ghostwriter is a valid way to increase your article output if you don't have time to write your own. If you're stretching yourself by taking a challenge, it's a good time to experiment with a ghostwriter and find someone you can work with longterm.
