This article is money! I like one of your latest blogs you wrote about article writing. You mention that writing an article is much like how you would speak to another person. Most people who write articles tend to use verbiage they would never use when they speak. I often find myself doing the same thing. Now, when I proofread my own articles, I usually just take a quick glance reading parts of them out loud and then submit them quickly. You get more done that way and if your content is good; grammer errors don’t matter much to most people.

Great Article Terry!

If I’m writing an article that shows the reader how to solve a problem I like to write down the solution to the problem in bullet points then convert those bullet points to questions.

I then move on to answer the questions and this helps me crank out great articles in no time. You don’t have to worry about what you’re going to write when you use this technique.

Thanks again Terry!

I’m just starting to ad content to my infopreneur site and I’m so knowledgeable on my topic, that I just don’t know where to start (info overload). I wanna deliver so much. I’ve even heard this advice before, but seeing it again really helps

[...] Need some tips on how to get your internet business up and running. Terry Dean has a lot of very sound advice on his internet business blog. Not only is it good advice but an easy read, not using a lot of computer language so that the average ‘Sue’ can understand what he is saying. I especially enjoyed reading his article on “write then edit“. [...]

I’ve been discussing this very issue quite a bit on my blog. Time and time again I see people get hung up on making every word and sentence perfect in the first draft–and thus never finishing the draft! Its so much more effective to get something–anything down on paper.

Great post, thanks.
