Lazy Writer Secrets
Secrets for Writing Faster
Make more money in less time by writing faster, without increasing your typing speed
If you are a commercial writer, meaning you get paid for your work, the faster you can produce excellent work, the more money you can make. Each of us only has a few hours a day we can devote to writing.
I’m a fulltime freelance copywriter and a fulltime weird fiction author. I don’t have the same time constraints as people who work in a traditional office setting. But, I ‘m also a work-from-home father of four. At best, I have six hours a day to do productive writing work, and most days it’s closer to two or three hours.
I also don’t want to spend all day in front of a computer screen. I enjoy my family. I love hiking. A quick look at my waistline will tell you I also love eating.
But I also enjoy making money. My love of money and my natural inclination to work as little as possible have led me to develop a system that lets me produce publishable work quickly.
At my slowest, I write a publication-ready 1,000-word blog post in a little under an hour. This includes editing, finding an image, and writing metadata to help my client’s posts to perform better in search engines.
