Sean D’Souza
P.S. In case you have any questions, please email me. I do answer every email.
I find this product super entertaining! And most importantly, the ideas are actionable. Sean did an excellent job in presenting the ideas and the how-tos of outlining. The examples are a big plus!
I bought this product so that I could prevent future mistakes when my blogging website goes live. And I’m glad that I found out about this before I even went public. Now, I feel more confident in delivering the best value for my future readers.
This will save me a lot of time and trouble when writing.
As soon as I finished listening to the audio, it got me so excited to write articles! (This left me with a list of more than ten topics with outlines!)
I also find myself writing more structured (and more valuable) articles for my prospective clients — as a freelance writer — in the future.
Thanks for putting this program together!
The obstacles for me buying the outlining product was that I use outlining in all my writing. Last year I finished a book where I started with an outline. So, I was hesitant.
But as I’ve followed Sean for years, I knew there would be a twist, something different that would, I hoped, give me a better outcome.
After buying and using the product, I found that my intuition was correct; that Sean did have a twist. Notice that the questions he poses when he asks for feedback on his course is indeed an outline. I see that I don’t have to use the formal outline method I’ve used for years. I can use any kind of structure, as long as I answer the important questions.
One of the things I particularly liked was the audit of your article after you are done.
I find it hard to know if the article resonates well. I think I am a good writer, but I am not sure if others get what I’m on about. The auditing process in the course strikes me as quite important. I’ve been through the course 3 times, and right now am listening to the section on auditing again. Learning
to implement these subtle things is work but well worth it. By the way, having to do the course multiple times is driven by the fact that there is lots of material here. You will not pick it out immediately, no matter how good Sean is. To implement the material requires that you understand what he said and then practice it.
Three other things that I found valuable in the course.
1. Easy to implement. I’ve been doing all my writing lately, including my blogs and emails, using Sean’s methods. I try to answer the questions of why people should be interested in what I’m talking about.
2. I think differently now about why I’m writing this piece. Is it just because it’s Tuesday and I publish on Tuesdays, or do I have something important to say that will bring people to the conversation?
3. I look for objections to what I’ve written and try to incorporate answers in my piece before it comes out.
I would recommend this course. It’s got a lot of material in a short space. If you spend the time to get it, it should help your writing. A while ago, I had an idea for a book that I
researched heavily, and I’ve been an expert in for years. I wrote more than 60 blog posts about this topic and found very little interest in what I was saying. I think if I’d used Sean’s insights, found in this course, my work would have borne more fruit.
I follow Sean’s work because he has a method that is successful.
He always is a little out there. I mean by this that what he says about what we all are working on is 1) different 2) insightful 3) paradigm-changing.
It is a system. And it clearly works.
I’m hoping to emulate this, and I think this course helps set me in the right direction. I think it will help anyone write clearer articles that people read.

Before buying the Outlining Product, I was not sure if the outlining would work for me as I only write short content such as emails. After buying the product, I found that short content also needs outlining. With outlining, I can write the content.
—What I like the most about Outlining is combining your topic with one idea to create an unlimited amount of topic idea
—The insight about article bloating really is a game changer for my content game.
I would absolutely recommend this product—Many writers struggle with writer’s block, and outlining is the cure for writer’s block.
Bryan Jevon
I’m just starting a blog and this product helped me immensely to organize my writing and come up with coherent articles at great speed.
Also, the story about writing even if you’re tired was a mind blowing lesson. Whenever I start making up excuses I just imagine Sean writing from the hospital and it gives me great motivation and focus. Just get it done already! Love that. Thanks!
Outlining sounded like a boring topic.
It never seemed like I needed outlining since I could write right off of the top of my head. So as a result, I avoided this product for a while thinking it was for people who really had a hard time writing and not for people like me who write quite a bit.
What you found as a result of buying the product?
I found out that I was very wrong when it comes to outlining. Even though I can write and write fast, I do find at times it is hard to create content for my newsletter or scripts for my YouTube videos. However, with outlining, I found how easy it was to generate content when I had the outline in place. Just taking a few minutes to outline made it immensely easier to write content down.
Even when I am suffering from writer’s block, having a topic and creating its outline helps me to overcome it. By implementing this simple task of outlining, my content has improved where my YouTube viewers are impressed with how I convey my content and answer the questions in their heads. Anyways, I ignored outlining for years due to ignorance and I wish I had this skill when I started to create content.
The specific feature I liked most is how easy it was to implement. Getting the what, why, and how on outlining not only convinced me but also gave me a systematic approach to outlining. Reading the book, I didn’t feel conflicted in following the approach. The only thing that kept coming up in my head is “Why didn’t I think of that?!’
The way I used this product was mainly for scripting my YouTube videos. Focusing on my viewers’ problems, I was able to have outlines that answered questions about the topic in my videos.
Three other benefits:
Very easy to follow the approach in the book.
Very easy to apply what you learn.
A quick read for a key skill in writing.
I would recommend this product to anybody who is in content creation.
And the reason for that is that creating engaging and interesting content is not easy. There are so many factors in and out of your control when it comes to getting eyeballs on your content. However, if you cover the things under your control, like outlining, then there is a better chance that your content will be of higher quality, leading to people wanting to consume your content over others in the long-term (and I emphasize long-term).

About the only obstacle, I can think of that would have prevented me from buying
the Article Writing e-book would be a higher price.
The book has given me a solid structure to follow, especially when working on multiple projects. I can work to a point, leave it, and come back later, and easily see where I left off.
The structure allows me to create a “path” to follow. I’m using it to create a Lead Magnet for my website email subscription program.
It’s easy to use and keep track of what is needed to proceed. Multiple projects can be started and handled at the same time. I’m thinking along the lines of when something comes to you as a writer for a post, or article, this structure allows you to capture the idea, and because you answer what, why, how type questions, it’s possible to build a small inventory of next work for your
writing business.
I would recommend this product to all new writers. It’s a way to calm the overwhelm and ramp-up production whether it’s their own site requirements or client deliverables.
I’ve been a Psychotactics subscriber for several years and know Sean is the real deal. He’s an accomplished writer and shares his knowledge and experience with sincerity.
Thank you, Sean.
All the Best,
Barry Desautels
It’s so easy to write an article, when you have a good outline of what you want to say. Thanks to Sean’s guide “Outlining: Article Writing With Simple Outlines”, I’m able to freely “think on paper” and finish every single one piece I start.
The only obstacle that would have prevented me from buying the product was if it was worth buying this to learn outlining, even though it’s not really an expensive product. But having read your articles I knew I wanted to learn how to write better articles myself.
As a result of buying the product—I found clarity and a way to write deeper and better articles than most people in my niche. It really opened my eyes about the ease of writing articles, it was a missing link that nobody really talks about.
Just learning about the What, Where etc, was worth it for me. It is easy to understand and do on each article and it really does not take a lot of time to do. The most basic thing is what a lot of people just ignore but it’s the thing that can make you a lot better. In this case to speed up your article writing.
Three other benefits:
1) Simple to understand
2) Easy to read and apply
3) Clarity to write better articles
Yes and yes, I would recommend this product: although it’s an ebook you wouldn’t want your competition to find out but I would recommend it nonetheless. Because it’s just easy to do after you read the book, with clear examples to put into practice. If you write a lot of posts or articles you really need to learn outlining, it can help you a lot but only if you do the work.
Even though this is an easy read and makes it seem simple to do you still need to practice and work at it. Also, I love the cartoons throughout the book.
The obstacle that would have prevented me from buying would have been the fact that I already do a lot of writing and at a high speed so overcoming the thought of, ‘I know this, I don’t need any more info on it”
My article writing has gotten even faster and more proficient after reading the book. I was writing 1500 word articles in 33 minutes before and now I can do even more than that and the flow is seamless!
I like how this product is systematized in a step by step format, easy to implement right away.
Three benefits: Gives me a system I can use every time, gets rid of ‘writer’s block’ and finally it saves a lot of head space by knowing exactly what I am going to write before i sit down to write!
I’d highly recommend this product. Any business is reliant upon putting out great content and with speed. This is a huge advantage over your competitors and I wouldn’t hesitate to gain this advantage!
The Pyschotactics products are amongst the easiest to understand, the most effective and the quickest things that you can learn to go from Point A to Point B!

This was my first Psychotactics purchase, so I was a little nervous about exactly what the book would be like. However, my experience with your newsletter and articles put me at ease — based on your free material, I figured Outlines would AT LEAST be pretty good.
I saw an improvement in my article quality AND quantity. My workflow for articles (which are tutorials focused on empowering Analysts with Excel VBA superpowers) revolves around online research and Trello cards for each super-specific topic. With an Outlines-style outline associated with each tutorial, my start-to-finish time has dropped significantly.
Consumption-wise, the audio version was AMAZING. It’s hard to make time to sit down and read, but listening is easy cheesy — I walk with my dog for at least a couple hours every single day… which presents a perfect opportunity to listen and learn!
Tactic-wise, the actual outline steps were incredibly helpful.
I would absolutely recommend this product—It’s short but sweet and teaches a massively practical skill for less than $50. Here in Chicago, a night at the pub with friends costs more than that!

buying Outlining: How To Speed Up Article Writing With Simple
Outlines?
There were no obstacles, I was looking for a good article on outlining and yours was the one that I chose.

3. The specific feature you liked most about Outlining: How To
Speed Up Article Writing With Simple Outlines. And how you used it.
The specific feature I liked was the easy outlining of What, Where etc., it was easy to understand and I’d learned about it before, so it wasn’t something strange and unfamiliar to me. I am currently using it to craft and write posts for blogs.
4. Three other benefits?
It’s practical
Easy to understand
Written with clarity
Anyone can use it from somebody new to a more professional writer.
5. Would you recommend this product and why?
Yes I would recommend this product to anyone wishing to get to grips with how to produce a workable outline that can be trusted. Because it can be trusted and because of the other points I have listed above.
6. Anything else you would like to add?
I love the imagery used throughout the article – so easy to understand.

I have tried to write articles before for my website, but i have always found that my articles were going nowhere because they lacked of structure, this course helped me to create more oriented articles for my customers.
I was looking at doing Sean’s Article Writing Course – getting fascinated and terrified at the same time – but discovered I had missed out for 2013 and it was not being offered again for 2 years. So I chose the Outlining e-book as a way of getting my feet wet. This e-book is indeed an excellent introduction to Sean’s teaching, and (I’m guessing here) to the Article Writing course.
And … the promise of the tagline – “How to speed up article writing” – was irresistible! I consider myself a good writer, but I was slow, and finding myself stuck in transitioning from a rather boring professional style of factual report writing to articles that people would actually want to read.
Every article – every piece of writing – has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The outline helps you get from the beginning to the end easily and efficiently, like a river flowing from the mountains to the sea. Some rivers flood and go all over the place, and you end up with a bog. Then you get bogged down. So you need to carve a channel out first, a path for the water to flow without messing around too much. That’s what an outline does for your writing.
Sean gives specific steps to do this, to get from your topic starting point to the end, with questions that help you structure what you need to say in the article – and how to recognise when the words are beginning to overflow the boundaries.
I’ve summarized the steps on a 4 X 6 index card (the back as well, for editing & other tips) and I keep it handy when I write. The steps certainly help me with outlining, and outlining helps me write more efficiently. Like a lot of other people, I’ve resisted outlining, rebelling against confining my ideas within a rigid structure. But Sean explains how outlining is helpful – when you need it, and when you can write without it.
I generally use mindmapping for my initial brainstorming of ideas. Or you can use a linear structure if you prefer – the outlining process works equally with either. This is not a system to box you in, but to help get you flowing. And it works.
I’m still not a prolific article writer. It will take more than a system of outlining to do that! But getting a structure in place is a really good start.
The Outlining book is deceptively easy to read – Sean’s writing style (and his wonderful cartoon illustrations) ensure that. But don’t let the simplicity of style deceive you about the value of the content – it’s worth re-reading a couple of times to extract the solid gold here.
If you write articles (or really, anything) I can recommend this book – as long as you actually do them, the action steps in this book will help you, yes, to speed up your writing (and stop getting bogged down in extraneous content).
But it won’t substitute for the Article Writing course. I can say that even though I haven’t done the Article Writing course, because I’m 2 months in to the Da Vinci Cartooning course. Sean is a brilliant teacher, and the power of his teaching is not so much in what he teaches, but in how he teaches: incremental learning and lots of practice. So if you really want to get good at writing articles, start with Outlining, but don’t stop there.
I couldn’t stand the thought of outlining when I first heard it. I’d been writing just fine for years without an outline. I had spoken without an outline. I had developed presentations without an outline. What could Sean possibly tell me that I didn’t already know about outlining.
I learned the power of outlining from Blackbelt Presentations
It wasn’t the Outlining: How To Speed Up Article Writing With Simple Outlines that convinced me of the power of outlining. It was Sean’s Blackbelt presentation product that convinced me. I was working on an important presentation that needed to be outstanding. In the past, I had done presentations that were great and other’s that were so so. I never had a system to develop a great presentation until I read Blackbelt Presentations.
When Howie Jacobson said he spent the whole night redoing one of his presentations based on Sean explanation on presentations, I knew I needed BlackBelt Presentations.
Far easier way to work,
Sean used an outline for creating a presentation that I followed that made it far easier to develop my own presentation. My presentation was far more effective, interesting and logical than ever before. I found it easier to stay on topic and not add in everything I knew on a topic which caused me previously to rush through materials or skip slides because I had mismanaged my time.
Become an outlining fiend
Since then, I’ve become an outlining fiend. Earlier this week, when I was struggling with yet another presentation, I reread Outlining: How To Speed Up Article Writing With Simple Outlines and realized that I needed to re-outline the presentation. Doing so, I recognized that some “bloat” had crept into my presentation and I was able to cut it and finish the presentation.
Funny story, I actually bought the product twice. I hadn’t read it the first time so when I decided that I needed to outline everything I do, I bought it again. This time I read it and frequently refer to it when I’m working on different types of projects. Outlining has saved me time and frustration.
By outlining first, I know where I am going with my projects which means that I am able to finish them much more quickly than before. I find, I have far fewer projects that don’t get completed because with outlining, I know where the projects start and end so it’s much easier to connect the dots. And finally, I have greater confidence that my project will get the positive response I want when I outline them first.
Other benefits
I was able to outline a book I’ve been wanting to write in a ½ hour. I was also able to put together a 10 week course and the various sub-topics in about an hour. Both projects were ideas that I’ve been thinking about for several years. Even better, I was able to start and complete significant parts of both projects already. And even though I can’t work on these projects everyday, with the outline I can easily pick up to where I left off.

I didn’t really have any objections before I bought this as I know that Sean’s short books are great – to the point, focused and easy to understand, remember and apply.
I was in no way disappointed by the Outlining book – it’s every bit as useful as Sean’s other books.
The one big thing for me was the idea that outlining (an extra step) can actually save you time in the long run because it helps to keep you focused on what it is you are trying to get across and not go meandering off on some other (perhaps equally useful, but tangential) topic.
Also I can now see why articles that I’ve written have worked and haven’t worked, before I couldn’t really put my finger on it.
Other things I’ve got from it are:
– using objections in articles – I’d never thought of that but it makes so much sense, and makes articles much more interesting
– using the outline to ensure that your article flows
– the examples were really helpful in seeing other people’s way of implementing this.
I have already recommended this book to a number of my clients. The thing I really like about Sean’s work is that he doesn’t just tell you what to do, but goes into specifics about how to do it, in a systematic way. That’s rare, in my experience of on-line courses.

(I also really appreciated the mp3 of the book – I could listen while doing the ironing, then read through the pdf and consolidate what I’d heard.)
Initially, I wasn’t sure about buying ‘Outlining: How To Speed Up Writing With Simple Outlines’, because I’m an experienced writer and wasn’t sure how much I’d learn. I knew about outlining, but never did it – too boring! I used to start writing and go where the ‘inspiration’ took me. I see now that I wasted a lot of time with this free-form approach, sometimes writing and editing sections that I later deleted. But Sean clearly explains the many benefits of outlining. Now I can see that outlining is the best way to keep myself on-topic. Also, by breaking up the article into sections, it helps me to get started and avoid procrastinating, because it’s not as daunting to work on one section at a time.
I particularly like the sections on ‘Keeping “Bloat ” in check’. I know how easy it is to go off on a tangent, or include too many details. It’s a horrible sinking feeling to get to the end of an article and realise it’s become too complex and you need to murder some of your darling paragraphs! I love the way you put it, Sean: “Instead we do all our primary editing at the outline stage.” …much easier on the nerves.
I now write my articles much faster. And the finished articles are well structured, which makes them more reader-friendly.
Anyone who needs tp write articles regularly, should buy ‘Outlining.’ Like me, you’ll save yourself time and frustration.
And I enjoyed Sean’s cartoons; they reinforce the text, but they’re also playful and fun. Great stuff!

I have been writing outlines for my articles, documentation and web page for years, but writing them after reading the book, I felt a real difference in their flow and quality.
I have recommended the book in my blog, but I feel it is a little expensive given the length of the content. It is still good value given the minimal time spent reading it, and minimal fluff.
I write. A lot. And I feel rather I do it fairly well. I also subscribe to the adage that, “If you stop getting better, you cease being good”. Which is why I was hoping this work would ‘sharpen my skills’. I wasn’t disappointed.
What I learned from this work was that I was doing some good things already — albeit unconsciously. Sean made me more aware of what was working (outlining) but added insights that I wasn’t aware of or using. These new insights make me better at writing everything from a blog post to a white paper.
Another added benefit I’ve gained is . . . ‘time’. With the mindful use of an outline approach (well, at least a more formal one than I was using), I’ve managed to feel less ‘stuck’ at the beginning of a writing project and more likely to complete it in less time than I had in the past.
To use a metaphor, writing used to feel like getting through a minefield. I knew how to do it but it took a lot more time and effort than I liked. After applying the principles and practices Sean provided here, it feels like I have a map with the ‘clear path’ to the other side. Now, when I take that path to a desired writing outcome, my effort is less and my time is saved for other things.
I really do appreciate this ‘tool’ for making my writing skill more efficient and effective. Thank you, Sean!

For 35 years, I’ve developed large hi-tech documentation projects that require extensive research and months to complete… Would Sean’s outlining system streamline my article writing? I had my doubts…
… But, Sean’s system gave me an outlining structure that is flexible and easy to use. This saves me a lot of time. I can’t believe I used to spend entire weekends struggling with small articles. (I got my weekends back.)
Sean also gives many tips on article-writing per se. Like, the most important question to answer immediately. How to sandwich an article together. How to stay on track and prevent “bloating.”
In a way, Sean’s book on outlining is a course in speed-writing. Yaaaaay, Sean!
I do not own a business now or will in the future so you might not immediately see a link between what Psychotactics offers, and a marketplace with non-business oriented people. However, I find your articles interesting, usually funny, and always well written and full of solid knowledge and advice. I’ve found the information in your newsletter, and in the products I’ve purchased, not only useful in my professional life but in other areas of my life as well. I regularly share your articles with others and encourage them to sign up for your newsletter.
When I read the first half of today’s article, Understanding How Tiredness and Self-Control Are Mistaken for Resistance, I thought of sending you the name of a book I’m currently reading called Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard. Of course, you were ahead of me and referred to the book at the end of the article. I enjoy the psycho, side of Psychotactics.
I also find it refreshing to come across straightforward and complete communications. Your website and newsletter explain your products, and answer all questions regarding how to purchase them. I’ve never been left with an unanswered question after reading through the material. To me, this is the sign of thorough communication as well as a gift for managing expectations. You deliver what you said you’d deliver, when and how you said you’d deliver it. Quality you can count on is rare and Psychotactics has never disappointed.
I want to thank you for your vision, and all the effort, you and your team put into Psychotactics.
A satisfied and appreciative customer.

I recently bought your ‘Outlining’ booklet on Article Writing and I have to say it put me on the right track almost instantly.
I write a few articles a month for both my own Newsletters, as well as the occasional Yachting Publications overseas.
I found them to be excruciating exercises with little format or direction from the outset. In the end I always got the articles I wanted, but it was a long journey.
Your course helped me to break the story down into ‘bits’ which allowed me to have the big picture in place before I even started the writing process.
I now write in a fraction of the time it took before, and in some cases, more details, with less words.
I highly recommend this course for those who need to write, but lack the time.
Best Regards

To be frankly, I have done what is proper to do. Read it, Read it, and keep on reading it, because I think it deserves a lot of attention and research. In tech facts, this is a very valuable piece of information I boughted as well as on my way to get the most out of it.
I will keep you post it, because I will be applying your guidelines into a book I am writing about now, and in the editing stage and its carefull process.
Thank you for having me share these comments to you.
It’s good quality. You resisted the temptation to simplify “use an outline” and kept banging away at it in interesting ways. Held my attention, drilled it into me. Very effective.
Thanks,
Charlie Green
1. What were the obstacles that would have prevented you from buying Outlining: How To Speed Up Article Writing With Simple Outlines?
I don’t know there were any barriers, the timing was just right.
2. What you found as a result of buying the product?
I have been able to quickly frame my ezine articles and fill in details more quickly.
3. The specific feature you liked most about Outlining: How To Speed Up Article Writing With Simple Outlines
? And how you used it.
Starting with the ‘what’ and then explaining how. This method allowed me to address a number of articles with a smooth transition between them before release to the web.
4. Three other benefits?
Sharpens my thinking flow, helps get to the point in the article.
5. Would you recommend this product and why?
Yes. It’s a good thinking tool as well as a writing tool. Frame your ‘problem’ statement and then answer.
Well I was already quite good in writing articles: I write one a day, each day, on my lean thinking blog. So why should I need an article outlining product, I wondered… But I already knew Sean’s ability to make you improve even if you think you couldn’t. So I decided to give it a try. And I’m happy I did it.
By simply explaining the structure of outlines, Sean gives you the ideas for making 20-30-50 articles for the same topic. If you have a repetitive, niche topic, this insight into structure can have you become the real authority in your niche. You can go as deep as you wish in your topics and never remain without anything to say.
I think this Topic-5W1H-Specific structure is the main teaching from this product. I started using it immediately after reading the book. And it helps immensely in your writing effort.
It explains Sean’s method where you can see it is not thrown at you as just another tool to use: it is the system that makes your articles work… A system that needs to be thought one step at a time, practiced and perfected every day. And that is exactly what I like in his products. You never grow and improve if you don’t try yourself the teachings. And Sean doesn’t give you a recipe for “becoming the best writer in the world” but he gives you the structure upon which you can practice and become better day after day after day.
I’m definitely recommending this product to everyone who wants to think scientifically about their writing effort. About improving it. About engaging his/her audience.
Great job Sean, thanks!
As a freelance writer, I write articles for a number of subjects as well as for personal projects and I’ve always struggled (as I’m sure many other people do) with speed. It doesn’t take a genius to know that the more you write, the more money you make.
This product gives me a clear, structured way to increase my writing speed. With enough practice, any writer can leverage outlines to increase their output.

Just wanted to say thanks for your book “Outlining”.
I bought it yesterday(as you might remember, I was quite anxious to get it in my hands complaining when it took long time to reach me !) and finished my first read in a couple of hours. This morning, I applied the lessons learned and I was able to write a full 800 Word article in 40-50 minutes complete with all the formatting and SEO. Just 2 minutes spent on structure before writing and this magic happened.
To be honest, I have blown hundred of dollars on courses and membership sites and came out with 0 results. None were as effective as this small book!
So, thanks for the book again! And also, thanks for releasing the Brain Alchemy Course For Free, I am going through it and it is also great!
Thanks For Your Time.

I’ve never been much of an outline-maker, so I wasn’t sure if Outlining: Article Writing would be that useful for me. What I found was far more than just making a list of stuff to talk about. Basically, outlining is a method of focusing on a specific angle for an article and covering all its important aspects without meandering off into irrelevant tangents — as well as capturing a list of all these fundamentals within ten minutes of putting pen to a blank sheet of paper. Sean not only presents the “what” of outlining, he also covers the why and how of using this process to create the backbone of an article. Sean’s trademark is empowerment — he literally teaches things so well that you say, “Shucks, I can do this.” Even more awesome: this Outlining piece contained intriguing hints about connectors — those bits that lead the reader to keep reading. Being a fiction writer who knows about connectors between scenes, I went through Sean’s articles in this ebook and immediately recognized what connectors are for non-fiction! That plus the freebie on Drama — which totally relates to raising the stakes in fiction (what’ll happen if the hero fails?) I feel ALL SET. Thanks!!!

“I always wanted to write the whole article at one go in the past, and I found I could not get enough time to write so my output was low.”
“Now, I can write the outline without wasting time. Once the outline is done, the article is virtually finished. It is just a matter of filling in the words in between, and I already know what they are. That means I can use small bits of free time here and there to work on each article (even five minutes and I can make a meaningful addition to the article).
So my output has exploded. I have written more articles in the past two months than I had in my first year writing for my website. ”

“This product will help you avoid writing traps as well as anticipating and handling objections when they arise in the reader’s mind”
“Following the Outlining report I learned a structured way to speed up and improve the quality of my article writing by using Sean’s method. The process just makes everything much simpler.
I liked the section on Bloating because it’s so easy to start with an idea in mind and then find before you know it your article has become puffed up.
Using Sean’s suggestions makes it quick and obvious when this is happening to catch it at source before you start writing.
I would recommend ‘How To Speed Up Writing With Outlines’ because it will quickly show you how to develop thoughts and ideas into a structure capturing the important stuff to write about. Not only that, it will help you avoid writing traps as well as anticipating and handling objections when they arise in the reader’s mind.”

“In a sense, almost everyone who’s a high school graduate knows how to produce an outline.”.
“But I, like most people, only found them moderately useful. This report reminded me why a good outline is useful and what one of those looks like.
This will sound strange but I found the examples to be the most useful part of the report. Don’t get me wrong – the teaching portion of the report was also very useful and those parts definitely helped me leverage the examples. But it was the examples that I found myself leveraging in my own work. I used them to form a template of sorts to produce outlines for several reports I’m working on.
Some of the features I liked: (1) relating the article flow to the idea of answering a series of questions from an inquisitive child, (2) the importance of the “what” question, and (3) the idea of headline flow presaging article flow.
I would recommend ‘How To Speed Up Writing With Outlines’ because constructing an outline using the techniques in this report provide energy, focus and structure. Most techniques concentrate solely on the latter point – structure. But this method reminds you, the author, of exactly why you’re writing and that raises the energy, drama and flow of the article.”
