Instantly Overcome Writer's Block When You Are Writing For The Web

It's very easy to get stuck no matter how good of a writer you are and when you are about to write that latest blog post, article, report, book, or even forum posts it is easy to get stuck. But getting stuck doesn't help you. You are the most productive when you get a task done and it's done forever.

That is why to conquer Writer's Block you need to get over "blank page syndrome", you need to get excited about what you are writing, and you should write quickly exactly the way you talk.

One of the worst things you can look at when you are already stuck about what to write is staring at a black page.

Let's say you are sitting down and you wanted to put together a simple step by step guide on how to set up an email auto-responder sequence, and you look at a blank page and you have no idea where to start. That is why it's important to put something on that blank page.

I know of people who simply start typing whatever it is they begin thinking, even if it's gibberish, even if it's just the exact words that come into their head.

I know of other people who will type the outline or the thoughts, or at least the title of the article they are writing on the page so at least they are not looking at that blank page.

As soon as you put some words on your page, you are at least the first step forward to getting over that Writer's Block.

How do you start writing and keep writing?

The answer to that is simple, it's easy to write about things that you are excited about, so find some way to get excited about what your topic is. If we were talking about setting up an email auto-responder account, log into your own auto-responder and see how things are going. View some videos on YouTube and see what other people have been doing with their auto-responders, and even talk to someone about this idea you have that you are about to share about email auto-responders.

I deal with so many people who tell me that they can't write a simple article but they can talk your ear off for two, three, even four hours on end about some silly idea. If you get excited, it's easy to write something.

Finally, to make sure that you write that article or chapter to completion, write quickly and write exactly the way you talk. I know that school may have taught you to use big, fancy words, and aerobatic language but really you are going to have the easiest time writing if you write in short simple sentences, and use short words, and type exactly the way that you talk.

If you need to dictate your article, or learn how to type faster in order to type so fast you don't have time to think that is fine, but get in the habit of making your first draft your final draft and not editing any sentences.

Your writing doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to make sense.

Overcome Writer's Block for the web, put something on your blank page so you overcome "blank page syndrome", get excited about your topic, and write quickly the exact same way you talk.

Five Powerful Article Marketing Tips

When I began my journey as an online marketer, I learned from several mentors the great importance of article marketing in your business plan. The ability to share value with others, speak with my target market directly, and gain exposure for my business sounded very attractive to me. So, I dove in and began sharing what I have been learning about online marketing through articles.

Through trial and error, I have found that there are five key article marketing tips to keep in mind when devising your article marketing plan.

1. SHARING VALUE - Your article must contain value for your target market. Lets assume that your market needs to learn about the specific advantages of several WordPress plugins. You could write an article on not only how to install the plugin, but also how to edit it, and how to utilize it to the maximum for best results. You could also give examples of the results you have received by using the particular plugin. I know I love to read about specific case studies of how a certain technique has helped an individual.

2. BULLET POINTS - I know that I really appreciate information being broken down into digestible chunks. In other words, the simpler, the better. When learning about a new technique, if it is presented in a cryptic manner that takes a while to work through, I will move on to another technique, and will most likely be missing out on some valuable information. Since we are trying to provide value to our audience, keep it short and easy to read.

3. LINK TO YOUR ARTICLE - Once you have posted your article, its a good idea to post links to your masterpiece. Three services that I find valuable are Ping.fm, Pingler.com and Linklicious.me. These are all Free and Very effective in creating backlinks to your content.

4. CROSS REFERENCE YOUR ARTICLES - When composing your article, it is beneficial to you and your reader to provide links to other related articles you have written. For example, if you are writing about how to set up a WordPress blog, you could insert a link to a recent article you wrote about effective WordPress themes for different types of businesses. This helps your reader gain more breadth of knowledge on the subject of blogs and this helps you with backlinks to your content.

5. USE AN AUTORESPONDER - When someone gains value from your article and enjoys your writing style, they will be eager to read more of your work. If you have a link in your author resource box to a website (like your personal blog) that has your opt-in box linked to your autoresponder, the reader may easily sign up to receive more information from you. This is a great first step in building a solid relationship with your readers.

Article Marketing is powerful and can substantially improve your online presence. Your content will be on the web for many years to come and can be a very effective way of drawing interest to your business. Hopefully these article marketing tips will help you on your journey. Now, get out there, share great value, and start to build lasting relationships.
