20 Minute Articles, Have You Ever Tried To Write Them?

Some time back when blog networks such as build my rank were quite popular, bloggers to promote their sites, often either hired or wrote many articles which would be submitted and published on such blog networks. Because they were seeking many backlinks daily, they had to write and publish many articles.

Thus arose the need to find a way to write articles quickly. Thing though is the value provided to readers was close to zero.

Should you attempt to create content quickly, you will not only probably lose your audience really fast there is also the likelihood that you will not get much organic traffic either once you are penalized by search engines. Yeah. Build my rank and other blog networks like them were hit hard by Google. So hard that the owners lost everything overnight.

The lesson we can all learn from this is, even if you are tempted to write something quickly because you just have to publish fresh content on your blog, don't do it. It's much better to create content when you have time and schedule your posts to be published later. This way you'll never need to write a 20 minute article that will cause you lots of problems later.

I believe that 20 minutes article can be done. Those who are expert in writing can do this very easily. But for the newbies like me, I believe that I can do it also. But I believe that what I can do will be of a lesser quality than those veteran writers.

That's true. But even professionals struggle with fast content creation. They'd rather think things over carefully for a few days. Editing takes time. They actually let it sit for a few days before coming back to edit their work. This gives them a fresh pair of eyes.

I have never done such long yet but if the person is determine to finish that long with motivation I think it is possible. Many people have been writing for so long and their writing skills is really well experienced at all so I should say that they can do it.

Trust me when I tell you that it is always bad if you have to rush to finish an article. You will make a lot of errors some of which are minor that the editor will be frustrated with your submission. They might even suspend you due to such errors and hence it is always wise to never rush a writing task.

I agree with this. If you have written for any writing account online, you know that they set a time limit. Most give you an hour to write 400 words or 2 hours to write 500-1000 words. When I was new to writing I used to write for these writing sites and I must say that it was brutal. In that 1 or 2 hours you have to do your research, write and edit. You are under a lot of pressure and it is no fun I can tell you. It is really stressful especially when you are trying to write many articles.

Experienced this one as well. Aside from the regular writing jobs you need to write according to their given deadline, I was also given some urgent writing jobs. These are jobs that another writer took but when near the deadline suddenly abandoned the task. Usually cost more since it is urgent but you really have to pressure yourself to follow the time frame without sacrificing the quality of your work.

You're right, for 20 minutes I can write a short article of about 200 words on a subject that I'm familiar with. Writing longer articles will take a longer time more so if I'm not familiar with the subject.

That is definitely the outcome if it is something that really motivates you to write like a certain topic you already mastered. It means that you have a big load of information on it. And I admire your mastery when it comes to writing your own chosen subject which you can put a lot of ideas, information and etc. For a 5 to 10-minute written article? That's quiet amazing. You must be very used in constructing your thoughts very well. Honestly, that 5-10 minutes for me is I'm actually thinking about my topic in that range of time.

Quality posts over quantity. I don't think a quality blog post can be done in 20 mins. It takes time to write and revise any kind of written material. The longest time in my opinion is spent in the conceptualization and writing process. I don't believe you can do those in just 20 mins. It's not like in school where they give you 20 mins to pull as much from your butt to occupy the paper.

I know, right? I totally relate with you on that one. I remember it as well. Schools have lots of misguided preconceptions about how the way things work. Especially, in writing.

And it was really painful to have to write your answers on those sheets of paper. It's either you don't have enough to say to fill the pages or you have too much to write and not enough blank spaces for writing.

Or that if your vocabulary is limited then you're considered a simpleton (nice way to put things in). There's nothing wrong with a limited vocabulary. If anything, it's easier to understand to the general public than it is to use big words that just means the same thing. I just hate school in general. Hahaha

I'm with you on that one. They encourage us to use lots of fancy vocabulary. When really, it means nothing if the other person doesn't understand it. So better to use basic words.

After all, it's how we present our ideas that makes them special. Also, the fact that they're actually meaningful rather than drawn out sentences to fill blank spaces.

Patience is the key when we are looking at getting to make good contents that will ensure that we achieve a lot within a period of time.

I know of veteran writers who can finish a 2-page article in 10 to 20 minutes. But it cannot be considered a finished product because it has to undergo several reviews plus the verification of facts. Submitting the said article without the refinements can be a disaster if there is a factual error or a big mistake in grammar. I can come up with 1 article in a day and I guarantee a polished article that underwent at least 3 reviews and verification of facts.

“But it cannot be considered a finished product because it has to undergo several reviews plus the verification of facts.”

I think that these are the key factors here.

If an average article is about 2,000 words in length, then time isn’t such an issue for me. I have enough experience under my belt to be able to churn that out within a half-hour, so long as I have all my sources at hand. Sure it might not be very thoughtful, but it'll be done.

But typing something out isn’t nearly where the work ends. The work that I did under a half-hour is merely the first draft. I then need to do my first revision in order to refine the flow and composition of each sentence/paragraph, a second revision to correct spelling and grammatical errors, and a third in order to verify my facts are correct.

Any relatively experienced writer shouldn’t have a problem writing 2,000 words, but there’s a lot more work to be done afterwards. You can’t put out a rough draft and call it finished work.

A 20-minute article should not cause you any problems at all if you're familiar with the subject and can type fast. Let's say you can write 30 wpm (because you have to think, not just type fast), you can produce a decent 600-word article in 20 minutes. That's not too difficult for content mill writers and niche experts. You can also afford to relax a bit and write 20 wpm to come up with a 400-word article. It's technically possible and it doesn't necessarily translate to low quality output.

“That's not too difficult for content mill writers and niche experts.”

That’s the thing, it’s fine if we’re talking about content mills, but 400-600 words isn’t going to do if you’re writing a blog article.

One of the criteria for optimizing a blog post’s search engine ranking is for your article to consist of around 2,000-2,250 words. It’s basically the standard at this point, but was much lower previously.

In any case, a 2,000-word article that is free of spelling/grammatical errors, fact checked, and thoughtfully written, all in under 20 minutes is unrealistic even for niche experts. To achieve that you’d have to be some kind of prodigy.

It’s realistic for an eight-hour work period, but certainly not under 20 minutes.

I think that doing a 20 minutes article is a tough job since you will need to double checked it after some time to ensure its validity, truthfulness and its quality as well.

Before seriously jumping into an endeavor like blogging for the sake of profit, you have to be incredibly familiar with your limits.

An average article needs to be somewhere around the region of 2,000 words, which isn’t really that difficult of a goal to reach on a daily basis. If you’re aiming to put out some genuinely thoughtful content, then it isn’t unrealistic to put out a 2,000-word article every two to three days, or about twice a week.

But writing a quality article in 20 minutes? Get out of here. There is no way that you can generate any sort of thoughtful content in that sort of time. I take longer to write certain lengthier posts when doing paid forum posting, let alone blogging.

Doing something quickly without thinking clearly about it could give you a lot of troubles. It requires a lot of focus and thinking to do a good blog. Creating one in just 20 minutes? Possible, but there's a lot of risk. Risk that may take your business or job away from you. Better to spend time for your blog, it will not just make your blog better but it'll also make you appreciate more of your work.

I agree with you on so many levels. It is definitely possible to write an article in under 20 minutes if you're a reader and has a lot of ideas with you. However, I don't think doing that is unhealthy not just for your income but to your blog as a whole because you might come to a time where you'll be out of contents and ideas to write and so you'll have a day where you won't have anything to post making possible for your viewers to have a shortage of content to read.

Writing a content in 20 minutes can be hard for others. But I believe that even the beginners can be able to write this. It is important to understand well what the topic is all about. You can also try to make an outline in the first few minutes. Use words or phrases that you are comfortable with.

You can definitely write or create your own fresh content if you put your mind and backs in it. There is no big deal in writing one's new article, it's all about getting a new topic you are good at and have good detailed information to use and develop it.

Commenting to other people's contents isn't so bad as long as you have something useful and meaningful to add as a reply to the topic.

Writing a 20-minute article is impossible for me as I do a lot of reading and research first about the subject that I get to write on (even if I'm already familiar with it). It takes me about 6-9 hours to write a 1000-word article, and that includes the time for research, verification of info and sources that I embed on it. I consider myself a novice writer and still have a lot of things to learn. I do hope I get better in time.

Blogging can in reality be fast when one is composing for one's very own blog, particularly when so enlivened. This being composed, it's been my experience that composition for a customer, particularly different customers crosswise over different enterprises, takes over 20 minutes.

"20 minute article " if you read it like this, it sounds so similar to " 2 minutes noodles" or "instant coffee". I think if you are very talented and experienced then you may be able to do such an article without compromising the quality of your content.But most of the writers won't have such an extraordinary talent . Even an experienced writer would definitely find it very difficult to continuously go on writing such articles. For a newbie like me writing a twenty minute article is like a completely impossible task right now.

One of that is that you actually lose the good content of your article. Why? Because the time will give pressure to you and you will not focus to the article instead you will focus on the time.

I have done quick jobs before but they were from a website which required less research and the topic, as well as the niche that I was focused on, was easy to me. This made me have an easy time when writing the articles.

I think that writing a 20 minutes article could be done as way to train your writing skills, the way you organize your thoughts and to polish your style in delivering content. But still, such articles should at least go through three editors to maintain quality.

I haven’t tried writing a 20 minute article but I think it could me done. It is a nice way of testing yourself how fast you can organize your thoughts into writing. Some jobs require you to write comprehensive reports in just minimal time. You could try to time your writing to see how fast can you write.

Writing in just 20 minutes isn't really easy, but I think if you are persistent and determine to finish your task with good quality, you can do it. Always think positive. Although it sounds new to me but if given a chance to do that, I will try my best to have good content.

My sentiments too. The point to take home is not how quick you have written, but maintaining the quality of the article. I will also give it a trial, and give it to someone to check the quality.

I think the key to writing that fast is making the writers be fast thinkers and composers.

I haven't tried making one. It is too long for me and the readers might get bored. But if you have a way to keep your readers interested, then proceed with making one. As for me, I am a straightforward person so I always state my point directly to avoid wasting time. There are some writers who are good at keeping their readers interested, mostly those who are good at making stories. Here in the country where I come from, there is famous website where you can find stories that gets adapted to books and even receive movie adaptations. If you have a way of getting the attention of your reader at all times, then you have the skill to write a 20 minute article.

@hstinscdIn,I think you have misunderstood the point. I think the point is the speed at which the article is written in 20 mins you can’t write that too many words. I would argue you can write at most 500 words. the worry would be the quality of the article especially if you have to do your research first if you're writing on a niche that you know, it's not such a problem however you have to remember that you have to edit what your writing. In general, I’m against deadlines while writing, inevitably it'll affect the quality of the content.

No, have never tried that. If you are trying to write quality content i think those "20 minute articles" are not so good( maybe if you have good inspiration only). That is just my opinion.
