Assignment 10: Writing techniques for getting the job done.

Writing Techniques. This week we’re going to learn three techniques for writing more quickly and efficiently that will tie in perfectly with Yoast’s SEO Optimization Tools.

I’m certain that all of us get bogged down with writing from time to time. We have the normal responsibilities of our job—and then need to write content for our websites and send out regular newsletters. It can be difficult to maintain sometimes.

There are a number of things that you can do to make it easier—with the result of higher quality, more useful work with a smaller time investment.

Here are the three techniques that I use to get going:

1. Having a simple goal.
2. Having a multipurpose subject that can be used for different writing projects: Write once—get three publications.
3. Tricks for starting a writing project.

Here is Assignment 10—very useful:
