How to write a 744-word email... in 11 minutes (!)

One of the most common questions I get from people is:: "How can I write copy faster, with less effort, that flows better?" And it’s a great question. Especially since so many people are struggling with this. Now… The unfortunate thing is that nobody really teaches us this stuff. I mean… Think about it… In school, we learn that we have to be “perfect” in order to get good grades and accomplish all sorts of things (that ultimately nobody cares about). Later on... In high school and university -- we’re encouraged to do “academic writing” which -- make no mistake -- definitely has its place… But it conditions our brains to overcomplicate things and focus too much on strict writing guides. (that are seemingly designed to kill our creativity) HOWEVER… When people say “writing takes too much time”... What they usually mean is that the act of PRODUCING the copy itself takes too much time. Either because they don't know what to write about... (Hello blank page syndrome!) Or they simply get stuck in a staring match with the dreaded "blinking cursor". It’s usually NOT the editing part that gives them a hard time. Instead, it’s pulling the right ideas out of their heads… and putting them on paper (on in a Google Doc) And THIS is the thing that nobody really teaches us how to do. Teachers, parents, professors, colleagues... they ALL teach all sorts of "rules" about how writing should look like (in their profession)... But nobody really covers the ACT of getting those ideas out effectively and efficiently. Or the process itself. As a result, when most people want to write something, they try to do everything all at once… And they end up surprised that they don't get the results they want. They don't get the results because they mix up the WRITING (creative) part with the EDITING (more structural) part. And try to do them all at the same time. But wanna know something? Mixing these 2 up is a HUGE mistake. It’s kind of like that meme with a guy riding a bicycle, and then sticking a tree branch in his front wheel. ​ That's what happens when you want to write AND edit at the same time. FAFO! So what can you do? Simple. Here’s Csaba’s no-nonsense 7-step process on how you can write higher-converting emails in HALF the time it usually takes you. === Step #1: Eliminate ALL distractions. And I *do* mean all distractions. No phone, no notifications, no social media, no nothing. It’s just you and your typing machine of choice. (the less connected, the better) Step #2: Open up Google Docs, Word, Pages, whatever… ...and turn off ALL your Grammarly-style add-ons that constantly pester you with all sorts of "helpful tips". (Yes, they do have their place, but not during the first half of the creative process!) Step #3: Just start writing and see what comes up. It’s totally OK if your message is incoherent or doesn’t make any sense… Just write until you stumble on an idea that FEELS better than the rest. Step #4: Expand on this idea and go deeper… ...without any judgment. Just write. Focus on pulling out whatever you have about this topic in your mind. Step #5: Once you have something that you feel relatively happy with... ...stop writing and take a breather. Spend 2-3 minutes away from your computer. Drink a glass of water, or just look outside the window for a few minutes. Step #6: Come back to your computer and start editing. NOW is the time to correct grammar mistakes... Make some changes... Add more spaces... Or make everything flow better. And finally... Step #7: Proofread it one more time, add any last-minute changes... and... Voila! Your fresh new email is ready to be sent out to your list. You see… It’s not really that complicated. Give it a try the next time you need to write your audience (or client) an email, and see how it goes ;) You’ll be surprised how quickly you can write this way! In fact... To give you a reference point... This whole email up to this point (the writing part itself!) took me a total of… ...wait for it… 11 minutes. Seriously. Just 11 minutes Not bad for a 744-word email :D On the other hand, I spent 22 minutes editing it (which can definitely be improved a bit) Still... a ready-to-deploy email in about 30 minutes? Not too shabby 😎 Especially when you think about how the act of creating the content itself only took 1/3 of the total time I spent on this email. Usually, it's 80% writing + 20% editing for the most people I talk to. So give this simple 7-part process a try the next time you sit down to write any piece of copy. You'll be glad you did! -Csaba ​ P.S. -- How long does it usually take you to write a 700-800-word email (or any other piece of copy of similar length)?
