How long does it take you to write a high quality article?

The answer will depend on what you consider a "high quality" article.

A high quality article for my main blog might take 6 - 10 hours to make. Maybe even 24 - 48 hours. If we are talking about a multipart article, maybe 48 - 72+ hours. This includes drive time to the video location. Taking pictures, filming the video, the drive back home, editing the pictures and videos.

I consider a "high quality article" one that uses text, images and a video. And since I make all of my own content, its takes longer.

Some of my videos might be filmed while on a hiking or camping trip. On a camping trip video, its going to take at least 24 hours - that includes trip time. On the hiking trip videos, I'am looking at 8+ hours. I might do an all day hike, take the pictures, film the videos, and then during the next week do the editing of the video, upload it to a video site and write the article.

I'am working on one video series right now that is going to be in 3 episodes. For that series, I'am estimating 18+ hours for all three articles.
