How Long Should You Spend On Research?
Ideally, you would know everything there is to know about your niche and not have to do any research when writing your articles. But that isn’t realistic. No one can know everything.
At some point you will have to do some research. How much time should you spend on it? Well, you should obviously spend as much time as is necessary to gather the information you need for your articles, but you also have to keep in mind the gold axiom: Time is money.
Over the years I’ve discovered that it’s best to do all the research I need for a particular topic in one sitting so that I don’t have to jump back and forth between projects as that alone can be a time killer. By managing your projects in time blocks you can get more done. Do all of your research at once and take good notes then write all of your articles at the same time. This way you can do all of your research for all of your articles on a particular topic and save yourself some time. With the proper approach you can research 20 or 30 articles in an hour or two of time and then be able to write 10 articles per hour if you are fast at collecting and organizing your thoughts. Your article marketing time will be spent doing the important things and not wasting time.
