You could either be writing blog posts as a hobby or for money. Either way, writing fast is something that will help you achieve more. Some bloggers will take even more than two hours to write a 1000-word blog post while others can take relatively less than one hour. 

If you wish to learn how you can improve your writing speed, then this article is tailored for you.

It is essential to understand that for you to become a fast writer, you have to ensure that you’ve done all the research and collected all the materials needed before you start to write. This includes choosing the topic and selecting images beforehand. With all the materials required, you can now apply the following techniques to improve your writing speeds.

Stay clear of any distraction

It is important to ensure that there is no distraction within your vicinity before you begin writing. Your writing environment can help increase your writing speeds or slow you down. If you are writing in an environment that has a distraction, this could be loud music or your mobile phone, you may take twice the average speed you would take to complete a 300-word article.

Only get up once you are done typing

You can only type without stopping if you have done your pre-blogging correctly. You will not have to look up any facts while writing as you would have done that already. Do not also focus on creating a perfect first copy, write down all the thoughts as they are and you can edit them once you are done typing.

Write more often

To become a better writer not only in terms of speed but also quality, you have to write regularly. This practices your blogging muscles to get used to writing, and you will realize that you can write faster as time goes by.

Work with a post outline

Before you start putting down your thoughts into words, choose the perfect headline, decide what you will discuss about the headline that you’ve selected and the subtitles that you want on the post. Your work will be made easier because you will be filling in details on the outline you will have created.

Make use of writing tools

As a writer, you have probably come around several writing tools that help in creating perfect copies of your work. With such tools, you can ignore making any grammatical corrections while writing and allow the tools to correct all grammatical mistakes for you. This will not make you lazy or a bad writer, they are only meant to make you more efficient.

One good thing is that most of the writing tools are usually free, so you won’t have to spend extra cash on them.

Time yourself

Giving yourself a time limit to finish a blog will motivate you to achieve your goal. This will also ensure that you complete all your blogs within one sitting.

Choose a niche

The more familiar you are with a niche, the less research you'll need to do for your article. As a result, ideas will flow much faster and words will follow. 

For example, if you specialize in copywriting for ecommerce websites, you can write product descriptions much faster, without producing duplicate content, even for similar products. 

In conclusion, regardless of how first you are typing, you should never compromise on the quality of your work.
