The Amazingly Simple Way to Turn 1 Article into 8
The Amazingly Simple Way
to Turn 1 Article into 8
There are two things most article writers hate. The first is research.
The second is figuring out what to say. In fact, the actual writing
process itself is cakewalk after you've done the right research, and
have figured out a smart way to put all that research into a finished
article form.
Think about it. Let's say you type at 60 words per minute. You're not
exactly setting the world on fire, but you're not hunting and pecking
either. I want you to imagine how quick you could write an article if
you didn't have to do any research or think about what to say next.
300 word article = 5 minutes
400 word article = 6 minutes
500 word article = 7 minutes
Nice.
Most of you reading this right now are not just article writers, you're
also marketers – or you write for them. If that's true, then it's all
about the keyword. But any seasoned writer knows that writing a
keyword dense article is no guarantee that article will get high
indexing in the search engines for that particular phrase. There are
still many other factors, and most of them are out of the article
writer's control.
I hate not having control about as much as I hate research and
stopping to think when writing. My contempt for these problems led
me to a solution which I will present to you in this report. It's a

2. The FAQ – an article written in a question/answer format.
3. Mistakes Style – the opposite of the straight forward style.
Instead of what to do, this article tells you what not to do.
4. The Quiz – Similar to the FAQ, only a question is posed with
multiple choice answers.
5. Step by Step – Numbered instructions are given here. First do
this, then do that, etc.
6. The Story – A true or fictitious story is written to illustrate the
main points of the article.
7. The Checklist – Did you do this? Check. And that? Check.
Simple bullet point style article.
8. The Profession – Niching the topic to a certain person or
professions. “The ______'s Guide to...”
simple and easy way to turn 1 article into 8 articles, all focusing
around one keyword, so you increase your chances of ranking high
for that keyword by 8 times!
And let's take it one step further. We all know having the top
position gets you the most amount of clicks. But it doesn't get you all
the clicks. Some people will click on the second and third listing.
But if you had both the first and second listing for the keyword,
you're going to get more traffic, bottom line.
I'm very analytical. As a kid, I collected baseball cards, not so much
because I liked the game, but to memorize the stats on the back of
those cards. To this day if you pulled out an old Donruss '93 card
and said the players name, I could probably tell you all the teams he

played for, his position, and at least one interesting statistical fact
about that player.
I took this same analytical approach to article writing. When I
wanted to figure out how to master this aspect of marketing, I set out
to create the ultimate system. One aspect of that system was
identifying different article templates.
So far, I have found that there are eight templates which can be
pretty much adapted to any topic. To make matters easier, I have
included an article which has been rewritten in each of these styles
so you have some real world examples.
But before we get into all of that, let me first share with you the 8
styles.
1. The Straight Forward Style – the most common, like a guide, or
“how-to” article. My favorite.

Okay, let's look at how this works in practice. First, open up and
read the article titled, “Straight Forward Style”.
This is an article on goal setting. It was the first article I wrote on
this topic, and is the article that will be easily modified into 8
articles.
It works like this. First, I sit down and research the topic of how to
set personal development goals. I identify three keys to setting
effective personal development goals during my research phase.
They are:
1. A technique for brainstorming
A) What would you dare to dream if you knew you couldn't
fail?
B) Write answers for at least five minutes.
C) Don't censor yourself.

2. A technique for prioritizing your goals
A) Put a 1,3,5,10 or 20 next to each goal.
B) Identify all 1 year goals.
C) Pick the one that most excites you.
3. A technique for making the goal compelling.
A) Write down reasons why you are absolutely dedicated to
achieving the goal.
B) Take action immediately after you've written your list.

Once you read through the article, these notes will make sense to
you. It's how I research and organize all of the my articles. The notes
I gathered for this article took me about 2 minutes. From these notes
I was able to create an article that was 591 words long, and it took
me about 12 minutes to write and proof read. So in under 14
minutes, I had my first article.
I like to write the first article at around 600 words so I can have
plenty of material to work with when I create my 7 variations. I will
now walk you through the 7 variations, to show you how you can
write each article without doing any additional brainstorming or
having to stop to think about what to say next.
