Article Writing - Announcing 5 Hidden Methods to Multiply Your Article Writing

You can easily increase the number of your articles if you speed up the process of writing them. Here's how you can do that:

1. Topic selection. You'll be most likely to write faster if you choose topics that you know very well. By going this route, you will not need to spend so much time doing extensive research. However, make sure that your chosen topics are closely relevant to the products that you sell and that they are interesting to your target market so you'll be able to capture their attention.

2. Keep them short. Obviously, you'll be able to finish writing your articles way faster if you keep them short and sweet. Instead of writing about broad topic, I recommend that you break it down into specific ones so you can make your articles run for 250-500 words.

3. Writing format. Based on research and on my personal experience, you can easily write articles in minutes if you use question and answer, tips list, and how-to writing formats instead of using paragraphs.

4. Extend your writing time. If you want to double the number of articles that you produce everyday, you must be willing to double the time you spend in front of your keyboard. Just make sure that you take breaks every 2-3 hours so the quality of your articles will not be sacrificed in the process.

5. Get in the mood. Do not write your articles when you are upset. You'll surely just waste your time as you will not possibly be able to come up with high quality content. Do something to get inspired first. What I do is I listen to my favorite music or take a warm bath. These activities let my creative juices flow uncontrollably.

How to Start a Successful Blog - My 10 Rules

The problem with most Bloggers I know is that they think if they posted one article then "uh oh I need a traffic bomb shelter" to control all of the traffic coming to my site.

Not so.

Here are the 10 rules to start a successful blog as I see them:

Rule #1 To become a successful Blogger: Figure out how you can create enough value for enough people - consistently - over a period of time.

Rule #2 Become an authoritative blogger: Don't post articles stating the obvious. What new and innovative ideas or concepts can you create? How can you get people to see you as an authoritative figure?

Rule #3 Content, content and lots of it: Most bloggers post once a month. The best way to speed up the process is to post every day.

Rule #4 Start from the beginning in building a mailing list. Don't make the same mistake I made! The power is in the mailing list.

Rule #5 Market your blog: Without traffic you blog is not really worth much.

Rule #6 Don't use your blog to kvetch and complain about everything. This will drive your traffic away from your site. People are not interested in your problems - we get enough negative nonsense from the media

Rule #7 Write about something that you are extremely passionate and knowledgeable about. If not then you simply won't stick to it.

Rule #8 Don't be afraid to share your knowledge. No one will think you are arrogant unless you start bragging about yourself.

Rule #9 Don't blast your blog with affiliate ads and Google ads. Save the monitization options til later on.

Rule #10 Be a nice guy. (don't fake it) People like nice people and your traffic will know if they are dealing with a nice person. Respond to emails and treat people will respect: If people email you via your site - respond as fast as you can. This is has been an incredible tool for me in building a loyal following to my site.

Mass Article Control -

Mass Article Control -

From my experience article marketing is crucial when trying to rank niche sites on top of Google results.

The problem is that if you are doing it yourself, it becomes a job for you, which is something I am always trying to avoid.

Imagine trying to write 100 articles and then submitting them to article directories manually...It's NOT fun at all!


I have been trying to outsource all my article writing but I needed a lot of volume to achieve the results I wanted.

I have looked at all kinds of solutions and other software out there, that my team could use to kick out more articles faster, but nothing really worked the way I expected it.

When I've found out about Adeel and Bobby's article marketing package, I asked thought i'd try it out and see if my team could use it.

All I have to say is....WOW!!

Anger Sits on Two Legs

Just about every teenager brought into counseling is angry. Most programs for them are based on Behavior Modification, that is, getting the teenager to not express his/her anger in a hurtful way. While I have been trained in this modality, I found that it was not all that helpful for teenagers, especially given their impulsivity. What I found to be more helpful was to look at the two legs upon which anger sits.

These two legs that support anger are Hurt and Fear. And the anger teens have has been there a long time. We were born with the innate ability to express anger, and that can be seen in babies and toddlers. Anger, in and of itself, is a symptom that says "something is wrong." Finding that is the key to healing and long-lasting behavior change.

If we look at the first leg, Hurt, we find that teenagers and others can recall an impressively long list of ways they have been hurt. Many of the items on this kind of list are relatively common. For example, being called names by parents or other authoritative family members. Another is being teased by siblings and kids at school. Abandonment is a big issue, whether the teen recognizes it or not. On the other hand, some of the lists have truly unique entries.

In the case of divorce, the child feels abandoned by the parent who left. The intensity of these feelings seems to increase if it is the Mother who has left the home. Children who are taken from their parents and placed in foster care also have this sense of abandonment and loss. These are very deep hurts, and hard to overcome. While the child may feel angry and at first act out on those feelings, he or she is quickly exhorted to "behave." They are denied the freedom to express their anger and so push it down inside where it sits without resolution.

Other types of hurt, where a child feels helpless to react are being physically or sexually abused. There may be constant criticism and degradation. Perhaps comparison to a sibling or friend that is harmful. They also are hurt when a parent abuses the other parent, but again are not allowed to express themselves adequately and given a place to talk it out. It is easy for a child to adopt a non-rational concept that he/she is worthless, a burden to the parent or family, "not good enough."

A child who does not do well in school often feels "stupid" and is humiliated when he or she cannot read as well as others, leading to a defensive attitude. Or perhaps the child becomes the focus of a bully and is frequently taunted and attacked by a peer(s). The child who is sent to school with dirty and torn clothing, or without a coat in the winter, or without a bath or shower can quickly become ostracized by peers, the object of scorn. This pain remains for years even though the situation improves, and impacts the teenagers ability to socialize in a normal manner.

The other leg underlying anger is Fear. Fear has many labels, but for our purpose here, anxiety is the most common experience for teenagers. Anxiety and Depression are well know to have a direct correlation. And teenagers who are anxious will often express that anxiety with anger. Both anger and anxiety involve adrenaline which is one physiological expression of either one.

Anxiety is a physiological response to a perceived threat to the integrity of the organism. Please note "perceived threat." The threat does not have to be real or immediate, it is only a presupposition that "something bad is going to happen." It really boils down to that. "What if... runs through the thoughts of the person suffering the anxiety as the "something bad" is anticipated. Interestingly enough, there is usually a time and place when something bad did happen, either experienced or observed.

For children, something bad may not necessarily be something bad to an adult. At least not to the same level of threat. A teenager who has "gotten into trouble" will anticipate being in trouble again, or failing again, or not being approved of by a parent again and this leads to anxiety. The anticipation fueled by "what if..." In our world today anxiety in a teenager can be brought on by "so-so" grades rather than good grades, because it has a direct impact on being accepted into a good college or university. Playing with "what if" and the need to excel creates anxiety which is frequently expressed with anger, especially at home.

Given these two legs upon which anger sits, Hurt and Fear/Anxiety, it is a wonder that more teenagers do not overtly express anger. But then, they do not always recognize what is motivating their feelings and behavior. It is up to the adults around them to gently guide them through the process of self-discovery, teaching them to analyze their behaviors, and to get past the underlying issues.
