A couple days ago I participated in an article writing challenge on E1KaD - Earn 1k a Day - “The Best Internet Marketing Forum on the Planet” (see sidebar…). I actually wrote 10 articles, completing my goal. Very gratifying and there is no way I would have done this if I didn’t belong to that forum. I am learning that I can write articles and no longer have to dread the prospect. Very cool.
Other members actually wrote more than 30 articles during the day. Can you believe it? I can’t imagine doing that. But, then again, it wasn’t long ago I couldn’t imagine writing 10 articles either. Now I know without a doubt I can.
Then yesterday I submitted all of the articles to build backlinks to some websites. I’m on a roll and I love it.
A couple tips that really helped were:
“you’re just writing to a friend” and “write as if you’re writing something on your personal blog.”
Those tips really took the pressure off. They helped me to just let go and write informally, with some personality. My process was to start at EzineArticles.com and read a couple articles on the same topic. This gave me some ideas and I took it from there, mostly writing stuff I already knew about the topic. My articles have value, but are not mind blowing and that’s okay. I got them done.
Feels like I’ve jumped a huge hurdle. I know that probably sounds ridiculous to the folks out there who write with ease, but I also know there are many like me that have struggled with article writing. There is hope.
And maybe I don’t belong in the strugglers’ group anymore. Anyway, check out E1KaD. Obviously, I highly recommend it.
