Writing good articles just got a lot easier. Here’s how…

When you want to write a new article, there’s two ways to research content – The hard way and the easy way. Here’s the traditional, and in my view the hard way:

1. Type your keyword phrase into Google and visit each website listed in the search results.
2. Press the Ctrl+F keys simultaneously to open the “Find” option (in FireFox it extends the status bar with the find option and in Internet Explorer it opens a small popup with the find option.
3. Type your keyword phrase into the “Find” option and click the “Next” button to go to the next occurance on the page of your keyword.
4. Highlight either the sentence or paragraph containing your keyword phrase and copy it.
5. Paste the copied text into your text editor.
6. Go to the next website in the search results and repeat the process.
7. When you have filled the page in your text editor with notes copied from various websites, delete any irrelevant text and rewrite the remaining text into your own words.
8. Create a good introduction and conclusion to your article.
9. Finally give your article an intruiging title which includes your keyword phrase.

Doing content research manually is a real drag and for me personally is the reason I never used to write many articles – I absolutely loathed doing the research!

Not any more – I use a little piece of software (Article Ideas) which searches through the Google results and automatically extracts 10, 100, or more paragraphs of text which begin with the keyword phrase from websites listed in the Google search results.

It’s absurdly easy to use and with a couple of mouse clicks the results are copied and pasted into my word processor.

LOL – unfortunately it doesn’t do the rewriting, but it does save many hours of researching. Three or four hours of manual research is done in five or ten minutes.

If you want to shave hours off your article writing research, do yourself a favor go now and get >> Article Ideas

BTW – You’ll be hooked on this little software program the first time you use it, but please don’t create articles by copying the results verbatim. Spend a little time making the article yours, it’s easy to do – cut and paste the best sentences into a new text document and spend a few moments rewriting them into your own words.
