Variation 1 – FAQ
When I have finished my first article, I keep it open in my word
processor. I then open up a new word file, and start writing my
second article. I have the notes of the outline next to me on my desk.
So I go back through and turn each point into a question. If you open
up the “FAQ” file, you'll see how this is done. Here are the questions
I have came up with:
How do I find my perfect goal?
What is the best way to brainstorm?
What do I do if I get stuck?
Okay, I got my list -- what now?
Do you see how simple this is? I am basically writing the same
article. But instead of doing your classic “let's see how many
synonyms we can use to say the same thing”, I have instead used a
different presentation style. This is preferable for a number of
different reasons.
First, simply saying the same thing in a different way is boring.
Second, and more importantly, you're now giving the reader a choice
on how they would like to read your article. When they search, they
are presented with two opportunities – a “how-to” approach, and an
FAQ approach.
Read through this article to see how I adapted my research
information to fit the FAQ format, and you'll realize how I was able
to write a completely fresh article without doing any research. This
second article took me 6 minutes to write.
