The Tools Needed To Write Faster

You need the right tools to get the perfect blog post and write it quickly. Depending on the blog post length, you'll want tools to help you get there faster.

Here are some of my favorites and the ones that help me with the blog writing process:

• Ahrefs or SEMrush
• Surfer SEO
• Jasper AI
• Grammarly
• A Good Blog Post Template

I use keyword research tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush to know precisely what I will write about and place them inside a content calendar, saving time during blog post topic brainstorming.

Once I have a topic, I'll then use SEO tools like Surfer SEO, an on-page optimization tool that analyzes the top-ranking pages for my target keyword and spits out a content outline.

I highly recommend using Jasper AI if you want to start with AI-assisted content writing. It's an AI writing that creates high-quality blog posts based on your input keywords.

So you can go from a blank page to hitting the publish button. The end goal is to write blog posts quickly and efficiently.

These will teach you copywriting skills that you can only learn through courses or expensive coaching.

Once the blog article is done, I'll run it through Grammarly for spelling or grammar errors.

Grammarly alone will improve your writing skills over time, and you'll notice fewer spelling mistakes naturally. It's probably one of the free blogging tools I used without paying until months later.

I like to use a blog post template because it helps me organize my thoughts and structure the article in a way that is easy to follow.

A done-for-you template for articles will help you write faster because it provides a skeleton for your article. All you need to do is fill in the blanks.

A good blog post template will include:

• A catchy headline
• An introduction
• The main body of the article
• A conclusion
• A call to action
• Content blocks from your theme or site builder

So those are the tools I use for my content marketing workflow and other bloggers I've talked to. If you want to write a blog post in less time, I recommend at least trying out an AI SEO tool. 

Writing Your Blog Post From Start To Finish

Sit down and buckle up because I will give you my exact method for writing blog posts faster.

Feel free to copy my writing flow and increase your blog traffic. My blog post writing process looks like this:

Let's break down each step so you can start writing blog posts in no time and cough, cough, save time.

1. Create The Outline

If you want to save time and write the best blog posts that even your competitors will be proud of, you must create an outline.

An article without an outline is like a ship lost at sea. It's all over the place and going nowhere fast. So this won't be your typical blog post outline with no direction. 

Remember, people have short attention spans, so you can use a tool like Surfer SEO to develop a solid outline ready for search engine optimization.

Also, if you don't have the paid version of Surfer, you can use their free "Free AI Outline Generator" tool. This free tool will help you with content creation and search intent.

Let's use Videoask Review as an example since I already published the entire post on my blog.

So to do this, you'll want to use the content editor and plugin the main keyword you are targeting into the "Focus Keyword" field.

Then, you'll want to hit "Create Content Editor."

This will give you an SEO blog post outline that looks like this:

• What Is VideoAsk?
• VideoAsk Features
• How To Use VideoAsk
• VideoAsk Alternatives
• VideoAsk Conclusion
• VideoAsk FAQs (To Win Snippets)

Then the content editor from Surfer will also give you related keywords and NLP (Natural Language Processing) keywords to use throughout the blog post.

You can see how this will help create content and increase your writing speed.

2. Write The Intro Paragraph

Now let's start writing your first draft, and you can use Google Docs, Jasper's long-form content editor, or write right inside of Surfer SEO's content editor form.

Many new bloggers spend hours looking at a blank document because they can't think of a good intro paragraph. 

The reality is that your blog post intro doesn't have to be complicated. It can be just a few sentences that introduce the reader to the topic and get them hooked.

You can use an AI text generator and my favorite sales framework, AIDA. This will be to write blog post intros that sell.

Here's how it works:

• The first sentence should be something that grabs the reader's attention. This could be a shocking statistic or an interesting story.
• The second sentence should introduce the blog post's topic and pique the reader's interest.
• The third sentence should tap into the reader's desire by showing them how your blog post will benefit them.
• You want to ensure you include the main keyword in the blog post intro so you can rank for that term in Google. 

3. Fill In The Gaps

Let's get those creative juices flowing by filling in the gaps in your blog post.

So to save time and write a great blog post. I'll use Jasper AI and Surfer SEO's integration to guide me.

First, you'll want to look at the blog post outline and determine what needs to be said in each section.

Then, you can use Jasper's Boss Mode command feature or content templates like the paragraph generator to write blog posts fast.

With the paragraph generator tool, I'll add the main topic and the keywords needed to make the paragraph look good for search engines.

For example, header 2 is "What Are VideoAsk's Best Features?"

I'll input that into the power mode template with the keywords suggested by Surfer SEO and let the AI writer do their thing.

I'll copy and paste that into the long-form editor, adding my flare or running a command to finish the blog post fast.

I've turned this into a repeatable process that works since I always know that my content is optimized for Google.

This is how I write blogs faster than my competition, even with a how-to post like the one you're reading right now.

4. Write The Conclusion

So to have a great post, you want a conclusion paragraph that ends the blog post on a high note.

You'll want to restate the blog post's main points and give the reader a call to action.

This is where you tell the reader what they should do next, such as subscribing to your email list or checking out one of your related blog posts. 

I use Jasper.AI's conclusion content generator for every blog post, creating the CTA within seconds.

You'll also want to add a blog post conclusion that includes an internal link to one of your other blog posts or pages on your website.

This is called an "anchor text," it's a great way to increase the time someone spends on your site (reducing your blog's bounce rate) while helping Google understand your content.

5. Publish And Run An SEO Audit

Awesome, so you just wrote your first blog post faster using tools to speed up the writing flow.

Make sure you publish the new content piece on your website, then head over to Surfer SEO's on-page auditor.

You'll want to enter the article URL with the main keyword phrase and run an audit to ensure everything is optimized for search engines. 

The audit will give you a list of things you need to improve on the published post so that it can rank.

You'll be able to see tasks such as:

• Page speed
• Length of blog post title and meta description
• keyword density
• Use of LSI keywords
• Outbound and internal linking
• Images with ALT tags

This makes blog article writing much smoother and faster since you won't need to re-optimize for a long time.

How To Write Blog Posts Fast Every Single Time

Now that you know how to write blog posts faster, take in all my writing tips.

You should be fine with new blog posts that work for you and your business blog at a high level and speed.

Remember to always write with intention and purpose and use tools like Jasper AI to help guide you along the way.

So let's create a repeatable, fast process to create a successful blog post every time.

Create A Content Calendar

So to speed up the content creation process, you'll want to have a content calendar in place.

This is a Google Sheet or your favorite project management platform like Notion that contains all your blog post ideas for the next month or two.

You can even batch blog articles by writing multiple posts in one day and scheduling them over time (Since you know how to save time writing blog posts much faster).

Use Blog Post Templates

When creating content, you want to use blog post templates to help guide the writing process.

This could be a setup of outlines that you already have put together for different types of blog posts.

Some blog topics that I have SEO-friendly templates for are:

• How-to articles
• Product reviews
• Product comparisons
• Expert roundups
• Checklists

So just make sure that it's a skeleton outline, and then add your writing style, voice, and personality to make it your own.

Put A Timer Or Use Timing Technique

One thing I've seen ruin the blog writing process is shiny object syndrome.

This is where you get distracted by things like scrolling through social media posts, email notifications, or other blog posts while trying to write (YUP, stop watching every YouTube video that gets recommended to you).

You want to make sure that you put a timer on and start writing for a set period of time.

I like using the Pomodoro Technique, where I'll work for 25 minutes and then take a five-minute break.

After four sessions, I'll take a longer 20 to 30-minute break.

This timer method works wonders and lets me finish all my monthly content ideas.

So if you want to write blog posts faster and hit the publish button more often, use the Pomodoro technique or your own favorite.

Establish SOP's

Establishing SOPs or Standard Operating Procedures is blog writing gold.

You want a set process for writing article ideas from start to finish.

Having something like this for yourself or your writers will help them write a blog post insanely fast. The reason is that they'll know exactly what needs to be done at each process stage.

Here's an example of a blog writing SOP:

Conclusion

You also know how to blog using an editorial calendar or a voice typing tool such as Jasper.ai or Surfer SEO.

You can write a blog post in one hour or less by following these steps for faster writing.
