Speedy Writing Tip: Use Templates

This is the last in our series of speedy writing tips. In case you missed the two earlier posts, here they are:

1. Make a Mindmap

2. Turn Off Your Inner Editor

Today’s speedy writing tip is to use templates. A writing template is simply a formula or pattern that gives structure  to your piece. It also dictates the angle you’re going to write about.

Templates help because they narrow down the choices of what you could possibly write about a given topic. They are particularly useful for written material you tend to use over and over again, such as replies to frequently asked questions. Templates can help get your creative juices flowing when you’re staring at a blank screen with no idea where to begin.

You can find templates for just about anything, from headlines to articles and blog posts. There are templates as well for business documents, such as business plans, marketing plans, and project proposals. You can also find templates for longer content, like special reports and ebooks.

Kinds of Templates

A template can be as simple as a title you can customize to your topic, such as:

“7 Tips to ___”

“Are You Making The 10 Most Common Mistakes in ___”

“What ___ Can Teach You About ___”

“Why ___ Is ___”

“How to ___ Even if You ___”

Other templates are more detailed. For example, a template for a marketing plan would give you headings and sub-headings, as well as a brief description of what each section should include.

How to Use Templates

If you’re using a title or headline template, as in the examples above, just fill in the blanks with your topic or words related to it. For instance, your particular title could be “7 Tips to Feed Your Family on $100 a Month.”

Now that you’ve got a good title to begin with, you can easily hammer out a blog post or article. Let’s continue with our 7-tips article above. You simply list your 7 tips. Then write a paragraph or two for each tip. Now write an introduction and a concluding paragraph. You’re all done!

Where to Find Templates

The Internet is filled with templates for anything you have to write, including templates for press releases, reports and even emails. Some are free; some you have to pay for.

You can also make up your own templates from your favorite pieces of writing. Or reverse-engineer the templates used by your favorite writers. Next time you’re surfing around, analyze the structure of posts in your favorite blogs. In most cases, they follow certain patterns and structures over and over again. No reason you can’t use the same ones in your own blog or site.

Finally, we have templates available right here in Contentrix. Our blueprints for everything from headlines, openers to bylines work as templates for your content. Look at the complete list of content blueprints here.

Templates are very handy when you’re writing content. They keep you from having to  reinvent the wheel, by giving your content structure or a specific angle.

But don’t think templates will curtail your creativity or keep your piece from being original. The uniqueness of your content will come from how you adapt the template to your topic. In fact, templates can help you find unusual ways to approach your topic, or perspectives you may never have thought of.

Next time you feel stuck in writing, see if you can find a template to use. Challenge yourself by using a template that looks totally unrelated to your topic. You’ll get your brain cells working and you’ll have a finished piece in no time.

Keep the Words Flowing

Writing on a schedule can be tough. Life gets in the way of keeping a regular writing routine. Family asks you to do things because “you do work at home.” Unexpected circumstances pop up and knock things off track. Things happen but the writing must go on.

There are ways to write even when circumstances distract your attention. Finding the tricks that work for our life or just for the moment will help you keep the words flowing no matter what you face.

10 Tips for Writing Quick Content

1. Write out a list of ten points about a subject or idea. Write an opening paragraph about the subject. The next part of the article is the subtitle (and it helps to include your keyword in the subtitle). Bullet your ten points and include one or two sentences for each point. You now have a solid article for your website.

2. Expand that one article to a series of articles with a few simple adjustments. Break down each of the ten points into an individual article. Write five to seven paragraphs on each point that you included in your original post. You will have ten more articles for your website.

3. Take the ten expanded articles and expand each one into a chapter. This will provide you with enough content for your own eBook. You can use the eBook to encourage people to sign up for your website or for a newsletter or you might even want to consider expanding on your eBook to pitch as a traditional print book.

4. Revisit an old idea from previous posts. When you are in a pinch you can rework old material. You may want to just reference a few of your old posts and link back to those posts or you may have even learned some new ideas about the material you covered in the post that will allow you to offer a new perspective on the material.

5. Comment on another blog and then quote that blog post in your own post. The quote will help you reach a word count that is substantial enough to get the attention of search engines but will not require as much though or time from you. Be sure that you link to the original post in your content.

6. Review a product or service that you are currently using. You have already done the research. All you need to do it put down your thoughts. You might want to contact the company and get a quote or link to their website.

7. Review a blog that you enjoy. Recommending another blogger helps you build relationships online and also builds your expertise with your readers.

8. Write a rant. Sometimes you just need to get a few things off your chest. Those ranting posts are usually the easiest to write. Take the time to review the article for grammar and spelling.

9. Create a list of potential headlines. Sometimes having the right title is all that you need to complete an article. Use a take on headlines you see on other blogs, in print magazines or even items you hear on the television.

10. Make a top ten list around an event or holiday. Use your own experience and opinions to fuel the writing muse. You can take those ten points and offer tips in podcasts or even on radio stations that cover your niche.

The most important part of creating quick content is to have an idea that you can follow. Sticking to the things that you know and enjoy will be the best method for finding ideas and keeping the words flowing in your content.

Heads Up – Press Release Profits
Is About to Be PLR

As you may know, I recently retired some of my Internet marketing products. As I retired them, a few people asked if I would be offering resale rights to the products.

Well, after some thought, I think I’m going to be even better than just simple resell rights.

How about private label rights (PLR)? With PLR, that means you can edit, add your  affiliate links and brand proven ready-made products…making them a snap to sell.

First up is one of my original courses (which has gone through a number of updates over the last 5 years) and that’s Press Release Profits.

The PLR version will be a robust marketing and product package (think  graphics, audio, graphics with .PSD files, sale copy and more) that you’ll want to snatch up if you’re in the business-to-business market at all.

There is one catch – and that’s the reason for this heads up email. The package will be SERIOUSLY limited in circulation.

As fair warning, this package goes on sale this coming Wednesday…so be on the lookout for another notice.
