Using Google Docs for saving time

I’d like to present a scenario for you. Let’s say you are a freelance copywriter with many jobs on your plate. You are editing content for web pages, writing your own advertisements, writing brochures for large companies, blogging for small businesses, and you have a few worker bees to take care of some of the lesser work. Now imagine your Outlook, Entourage, or Mail application’s inbox. Pretty scary huh?

You can imagine how complicated your e-mailing experience can be when multiple attachments are sent to and from your computer everyday. Oftentimes we are revising documents and editing them before sending them right back where they came from creating multiple copies on multiple computers. This type of thing stresses many an e-mailer out there and makes it hard to stay organized when things get busy. Google Docs is definitely the fix for this person.

I came across Google Docs and watched their “Google Docs in Plain Language”. To give a quick summary, Google Docs is a remote place on the Internet that is used for storing any kind of document, spreadsheet, or presentation that you may be working with. Instead of receiving and sending multiple attachments everyday, they can be stored remotely and accessed by any user with the right credentials. This can help everyone be more productive with documents that are constantly being pinballed back and forth with new changes each time. Google Docs makes it easy to do this as well with their “add collaborators” feature. All you need to do is add their e-mail to a list and click “add collaborator” and they will now be able to make changes to the document. All you have to do is pick who can view and notify your client, co-worker, or other where it is stored.

For instance, let’s say you are the editor-in-chief for the state magazine of North Carolina. Many of your employees will be sending in all sorts of documents pertaining to the magazine that may or may not need editing. Now if each of these is handled separately via e-mail attachment, confusion will certainly occur but you know better. You are storing these documents digitally with Google Docs and your employees are logging in and posting their work and you are collaborating right there and they are able to see the finished product. How much more efficient and organized is this?

With Google Docs, you can make your e-mail attachment nightmares a thing of the past and start organizing remotely. This will help productivity and the overall stress load for all who are involved. If you haven’t heard of this tool, explore a bit by checking out some videos or tutorials to see if it’s for you. If not, then what’s the big deal? It was completely free just like all things Google.

How to Write Articles Quickly

One of the best ways to promote your website or blog is through article marketing. Learning to write articles quickly is a skill you have to master to accomplish this.

Many website owners make article writing a lot more complicated than it has to be. When writing for websites, remember first of all that people online are scanning web pages, not reading every word, so there is no need to spend hours making every word perfect.

Your content isn’t going to be totally unique, no matter what you write about. Every topic you can think about has already been written about by someone else. Think about it – every newsworthy event is covered by CNN, NBC, ABC, etc. Every network and every newspaper are all covering the exact same event or topic, just in different words.

The fact is, there are no new topics. Your job is to take what’s already been written and improve on it by injecting your own comments and personality.

One way to do research quickly is by inputting the topic you want to write about into a search engine. Choose three or four matches and read these articles thoroughly, taking notes.

Or, other places for quick research include article directories, forums and yahoo answers. By reading what people are asking in yahoo answers, you will learn what information people are looking for.

Amazon.com provides some great tools for quick research. By choosing a few top-selling books on a given topic, you can research quickly by browsing a book’s table of contents, the back cover of the book and even an excerpt.

Once you have taken sufficient notes, it’s time to put your article together. Write an outline of the important points you want to make in your article. Then write the article without looking back at the other articles. This is nothing more than the same work you did in high school writing book reports. Most of us have written quite a few book reports in our lifetime, and in those days many of us put ourselves through the unnecessary stress of cutting it too close to deadlines. That means we already know how to write and research quickly!

Basically, we need to decide what we’re going to accomplish and when. If we intend to write an article a day, then we have to stay glued to our computer until we complete that task. If we want to get it done in half an hour or less, this is another goal to work toward. Practice will definitely lead to improvement.

Article marketing is one of the best forms of free advertising there is. Learning to write articles quickly is an easily learned skill that will help us get the most out of article marketing.
