Any one of these copywriting tips can help you dramatically increase your writing speed.

Here we gooooo.

Whenever I write, I write.

I do not look at my phone, browse emails or scroll through social media.

You will radically increase your writing speed IF you eliminate ALL distractions.

You want to write with laser focus and get in a flow.

So…

Turn off your phone notifications, close unnecessary tabs, and find a quiet space to immerse yourself in your writing.

Distractions can break your flow and hinder your speed.

Create a writing sanctuary that allows your ideas to flow without interruption.

This tip isn’t really about the writing itself.

However, keyboard shortcuts can help you dramatically increase the time it takes to complete projects.

Familiarize yourself with keyboard shortcuts in your writing software.

Whether it's copying, pasting, formatting, or navigating between documents, using shortcuts instead of your fat mouse can significantly speed up your workflow.

Have a BIG copywriting project with a tight deadline?

It’s important to identify the most critical tasks on your to-do list and tackle them first.

By prioritizing, you ensure that the essential components of your project are addressed early on, preventing procrastination and building confidence as you progress.

I ALWAYS write within VERY strict deadlines.

I do so on purpose.

You see, deadlines are the key to writing faster.

So, challenge yourself with timed writing sessions.

Set a timer for 25 or 30 minutes and focus solely on writing during that period.

This technique, known as the Pomodoro Technique, can enhance concentration and boost productivity.

Eugene Schwartz set a 33.33 minute timer whenever he wrote copy.

Then, took a short break.

Then, wrote for another 33.33 minutes.

He repeated this writing routine until he finished whatever he was working on.

I recommend you do the same.
​
​

Group similar writing tasks together.

If you have multiple articles or sections to write, focus on one type of content at a time.

This helps you stay in the zone without constantly switching gears.

How to write faster starts with “good enough” copy.

Understand that your first draft doesn't need to be flawless.

Embrace imperfection and prioritize getting your ideas down.

You can always refine and polish during the editing phase.

If you want to write faster, it's crucial to declutter your mind before diving into your work.

Here's a routine I follow:

Discover what works best for you and establish a pre-writing routine that clears the mental fog.

The most effective way to enhance your writing speed is to increase your daily word count.

In my early days, a surge of clients compelled me to complete over 50 copywriting projects within months.

This accelerated my ability to write rapidly.

Since then, writing daily has become a habit.

I craft daily emails & blog posts for my copywriting business, and work on client projects.

Remember, the more you write, the easier it becomes.

Some time ago, I stumbled upon an excellent productivity book titled "The One Thing," crafted by Gary Keller, the mind behind Keller Williams, the largest real estate company globally.

The essence?

Dedicate a substantial portion of your day to a single pivotal task.

In my world of copywriting, I've adopted this principle religiously.

By allocating a block of hours every morning exclusively to crafting compelling copy, I harness the peak creativity of my mind during those early hours.

2 big benefits of doing this:

1. Optimal Productivity Hours: By using your most productive hours for writing,
     typically the first thing in the morning, you capitalize on your brain's sharpness
     and creativity.
2. Ensured Daily Success: Even if the rest of the day is a whirlwind, focusing on
     your ONE THING guarantees a sense of accomplishment and success. It's
     about prioritizing what matters most – generating revenue through the
     impactful copy you create.

As a copywriter, identifying your ONE THING, be it writing copy or client outreach (if steady work is a challenge), should take precedence.

Let the less critical tasks wait until after you've finished your daily objectives.
