href="http://StartWritingArticlesFaster.com" target="_blank">Start WritingArticlesFaster.com</a> can help you overcome writer&#8217;s block. In many cases, with the right article templates, you can write your articles in 30 minutes or less.</p><p>Notice the keywords there &#8211; &#8220;with the right article templates.&#8221;</p><p>If you do a Google search for &#8220;instant article writing templates&#8221;, &#8220;instant article templates&#8221;, &#8220;article writing templates&#8221;, &#8220;free article templates&#8221; and &#8220;article templates&#8221;- underneath my websites and my articles you find hundreds of other resources. Some sites even give you free article templates.</p><p>Heck, I even give you 3 free article templates at TryMyFreeArticleTemplates.com</p><table
align="right"><td
align="right"></td></table><p>Here&#8217;s the problem&#8230; most article templates are not designed to help you write better articles faster. Now, the creators of these article templates had good intentions. However, if you use the wrong article templates, you will find yourself even more confused.</p><p><strong>The 3 Biggest Problems with Most Instant Article Writing Templates</strong></p><p><strong>1. Most article templates do not give you the structure and organization you need.</strong> In fact, here&#8217;s a sampling of what one article template provider offers&#8230;</p><p>Article Writing Template &#8211; What I Learned From&#8230;.</p><p>This one is simply a bulleted list of what you have learned from any number of things or events such as what I learned from my parents, my sister, my brother, my son, my daughter, from my third grade teacher, from September 11th, from watching a TV show, etc.</p><p>Bullet 1-</p><p>Bullet 2-</p><p>Bullet 3-</p><p>And, so on&#8230;</p><p>Now, to me this is not a workable template. Templates are supposed to be worksheets that guide you throughout the process. For example, I put my &#8220;Instant Article Writing Templates&#8221; in MS Word format. Each template is in chart format. All you have to do is put the information that&#8217;s in your head and put it exactly where I ask you to. Once the template is complete, all you have to do is copy each section and paste it into a new document &#8211; and you&#8217;ll have a finished article.</p><p><strong>2. Most article templates don&#8217;t keep you, the article writer, focused.</strong> If I don&#8217;t use my article templates, I find myself rambling, going from one topic to another. And, I&#8217;m the article writing and article marketing expert. When you have a workable template that provides you with structure and organization, your copy will automatically become more focused. It becomes an easier, better read for your readers. However, most templates like the example I showed you above do not give you a structure and organization to follow. And, they allow you to bounce from one idea to another without any kind of transition.</p><p><strong>3. Most article template resources do not provide real article examples from a wide number of industries.</strong> If there are any article examples provided along with the article templates, you&#8217;ll just find articles that the creator wrote. So, you&#8217;ll just find Internet marketing articles that promote the creator&#8217;s other products and services. You want to look for article resources that provide actual article examples of those in your niche. For example, in my Instant Article Writing Templates Kit, I not only share with you some of my own articles, but I share with articles that are written by my clients who are authors, speakers and entrepreneurs dealing with a wide number of business, finance, relationship and parenting issues.</p><p>Again, I do not mean to mock or offend those in my industry. I just want to help you write your articles faster. Now, that you aware of the problems that most instant article writing templates have &#8211; you can choose wisely.</p><p>Article Marketing Expert <strong>Eric Gruber</strong> uses the power of articles to create online opportunities for Internet marketers, small business owners, authors, entrepreneurs and speakers who want more publicity, prospects and profits.

Now, I want to get started in a BIG way. What instant article writing templates should I focus on first?&#8221;</p><p><strong>Here&#8217;s Your Article Marketing Expert&#8217;s Answer to Which Article Templates You Should Try First&#8230;</strong></p><p>It&#8217;s hard for me to answer this question and tell you which article templates you should start off with as everyone has his or her own, unique writing style. If you want to find true <em>article writing and marketing success</em> then you need to decide for yourself which article templates, which formats and which writing styles work best for you.</p><table
align="right"><td
align="right"></td></table><p>See, I have more than 40 different instant article templates at http://www.StartWritingArticlesFaster.com that my clients could follow so they can write articles faster. But they very rarely have success using all 40 of those templates. That&#8217;s why I offer a large variety of article templates for you to choose from, so you can see for yourself, which ones work best for you.</p><p><strong>Why Every Article Template Won&#8217;t Work For You?</strong></p><p>Regardless of experience, aptitude, or willingness &#8211; everyone has a writing style that works better for him or her that may not work with another person.</p><p>Some clients worked better creating a list. <em>Ex. Top 10 Things All Article Marketers Must </em></p><p>Others worked better with the How-to formula. <em>Ex. How to Write Articles in Less Than 30 Minutes</em></p><p>Some do better with the problem/solution format, and so on and so on.</p><p>The key is to <strong>find article templates and article writing formulas that work best for you</strong> and use those templates as much as your heart&#8217;s content. There is no rule out there that you have to use a million different types of writing formats or styles. There is no law that says that every one of your articles cannot be a how-to or a list. That may be the way that you think an organize ideas. Some people design and live their whole lives based around &#8220;to do&#8221; lists. That may work best for you, and results show that readers love lists.</p><p>It is a much better idea to take the article templates that <strong>you can implement easily</strong> and run with it then to be &#8220;stuck&#8221; for days or weeks without writing a single word because you want to write differently. The goal of my article templates is to help you overcome writer&#8217;s block – not make it worse.</p><p>I want to help you write articles faster. Remember, <strong>article marketing is a numbers game.</strong> While I strive for high quality content with every article that I write, I know that it is more important that I write and publish articles on a consistent basis. And for many article marketers out there – the key is to stick to what you know!</p><p><strong>Your Article Marketing Challenge!</strong></p><p>So, now I challenge you to go to http://www.StartWritingArticlesFaster.com, get my instant article writing templates that can help you write articles in 30 minutes or less and choose which templates work best for you.

But, I promise you that there are ways to tap into a limitless supply of article ideas. No matter what your expertise lies in, you can always generate new and interesting ideas for articles IF you follow these guidelines&#8230;</p><p><strong>5 Ways to Never Run Out of Article Ideas </strong></p><p><strong>1) Get inspiration from magazines covers.</strong></p><table
align="right"><td
align="right"></td></table><p>Find a magazine that is as close as you can get to your niche and look at the titles on the magazine cover.  Look at the titles that jump out at you and make you say, &#8220;That looks like it would be a good article–I want to read that!&#8221;</p><p>Many times you can bounce an article off of a title you see on a magazine cover. Can you convert that title to apply to something in your specific niche?</p><p>Now, notice I&#8217;m saying, &#8220;find a magazine that is somewhat in your niche.&#8221; Many of us have websites that are in niches that do not have their own magazines. For example, there is no magazine that I know of about Article Marketing.</p><p>But I sashay a short distance from my specific niche and look in related niches, such as Writing, Creativity, Productivity, and possibly even SEO. These are all issues that lie at the heart of article marketing, so they work as inspiration launching pads.</p><p><strong>2) Don&#8217;t forget about the newbies.</strong></p><p>When we&#8217;re writing on our area of expertise, sometimes we can overlook the obvious. We want to write helpful, educational articles, and our minds quite often go to topics that are more advanced.</p><p>Have you ever considered that someone reading your article might not even understand the basics of what you&#8217;re talking about?</p><p>I have to remind myself of this all the time–not everyone knows what article marketing is, and not everyone even knows the reasons why it&#8217;s a popular online marketing tool.</p><p>Could the same thing be true in your niche?</p><p>Think about it–although our articles are not sales oriented or promotional in any way, when we educate our readers on some aspect of our niche, we are increasing the likelihood that they will one day be our customers.</p><p>So, don&#8217;t forget about the newbies who are in your target market but aren&#8217;t knowledgeable about what you do. Try to think back to questions you had when you were first starting out. Think about what confused you. Think about the very basic things that you wish someone had explained to you before you became the expert.</p><p><strong>3) Think about: &#8220;What are the 10 questions that my customers (or potential customers) most frequently ask me?&#8221;</strong></p><p>Write those questions down and address each one of them in a separate article.</p><p>By completing this writing exercise, you&#8217;re letting your target market tell you what to write about. This makes perfect sense since you&#8217;re trying to appeal to them anyway.</p><p><strong>4) Use template titles and fill in the blanks.</strong></p><p>Here are some of mine:</p><p>•	10 Great Reasons Why ____<br
/> •	How To ____ in 7 Easy Steps<br
/> •	3 Secret Tricks For _____<br
/> •	How To Conquer ______<br
/> •	The Top 10 Mistakes People Make When ____<br
/> •	Reader Question: &#8220;[insert question here]&#8221;</p><p>You may notice that these titles are all List articles (any article that has a 1,2,3 etc list in it), How-To articles, and Question articles (articles that answer a question that is stated in the title).</p><p>These are my go-to article topic stimulators. Just seeing the format for the title gets the wheels of my brain moving (which helps creativity!)</p><p>Try filling in the blanks for the template titles listed above, and I bet you can come up with a compelling title to base a new article on.</p><p><strong>5) Use Instant Article Writing Templates</strong></p><p>You want to model proven article writing formats, such as those found in my <a
