Time is money.

If you want to be a professional writer, sometimes you got to bang out an article pretty quickly.

Let’s say you’ve had a million other projects taking up all of your time so you have only 15 minutes to get your article out.

You might not think this is enough time, but it is, trust me.

I often have written some of my best articles and best performing articles in under 15 minutes.

I’ll show you how I do it.

1. Outlining

If you need to get a lot of writing done quickly, then outlining is your best friend.

It gives you a background for your story or your article and it allows it to be ready to go when you open your document up to start writing.

In fact, I like to have 5 to 10 to even more outlines ready to go.

Most of the time I like to do my outlining with legal pad and a pen.

But sometimes I’ll just open and then just type out my subheadings and maybe the first couple lines of the intro.
