How to Write a 500 Word Blog Post in Less Than an Hour
Celebrating my 100th article on Medium!
Blogging and writing articles are an important part of my life. It is the primary way I’ve built my business and continue to communicate with my readers, students, and clients. However, it is not the only thing I do. And I would bet it’s not the only thing you do, either.
If you are like most bloggers (especially those first starting out), you are probably trying to squeeze blogging in between your day job, your family, and a thousand other important activities. Trust me, I get it! I understand completely how tough it can be to stay consistent.
Now, I’ve certainly written more than a hundred articles (for a handful of different publications and clients) in the past 10+ years, and I’ve gotten better and faster with practice.
Nevertheless, this is the 100th article I’ve written for Medium, and to tell you the truth, I’m a bit excited about it. I’m glad I’m able to share this moment with you and that we are able to celebrate this BIG milestone together.
Now, on average, it takes me 60–70 minutes to write and format a single post. This being my 100th article on Medium, I thought I would share ten of the tricks or hacks I use to write more efficiently and productively.
