Article Marketing 101: How To Write More Articles

As you learn and master article marketing basics for your online business, you will start to see really tangible results, ones that will get you all the excited to write more articles. The equation is simple: More articles = More Traffic. So how do you effectively write or produce more articles without sacrificing a lot of your valuable time? The answer is an article marketing 101 trick of the trade – and that’s writing something that I call “article chunks“.

Definition:
Article chunks are paragraphs that are related to the topic of article #1. Ones that can be expanded into additional articles to create an article series or article set.

I’ll use this article to explain further…
When I sat down at the computer to write this article, I opened a second window on my text editor and wrote several article chunks that were related to this article so that I could create an article series around it.

This article’s keywords are article marketing 101. This article is about producing more articles. My article chunks include other types of article marketing 101 articles (ones that cover other article marketing basics). These chunks include articles on resource boxes, article titles, writers block, article submission etc.

I wrote 1 paragraph on each of those topics. Usually – it’s easier for me to write the intro paragraph as my article chunk, and then I expand it later. You could do this or you could simply jot down a few notes or research facts you have about the article chunk topic. Just get something down that will make sense to you when you go back to expand the chunk into an article.

The reason why I recommend writing article chunks instead of writing an entire series or set of articles in one sitting is because I think that sitting down and writing 3, 4, or 5 good quality articles in one sitting isn’t really a good idea for the average article marketer.

This type of marathon writing can often lead to writer burnout, which is one of the major reasons that many marketers write about 10 articles and then quit article marketing (average stats on ezinearticles.com). Not a good recipe for article marketing success.

You can write your article chunks in your favorite text editor or if you post your articles on your own blog first, you can create several drafts of article blog posts that contain each of your article chunks.

Once you have published your first original article, you can take a few days to flesh out and transform your next article chunk into another article and so on and so on. Stagger the writing and publishing of the series or if you are feeling strong, turn all of the article chunks into articles but make sure to still stagger their publishing or submission.
