Best Productivity Tips for Writers
"The only way I could write any less is if I were dead!"
Does this sound like you? Well, you're not alone.
I struggled for years with getting things done. When I was in university, I was a full-time student working on a graduate degree, worked two jobs (one full-time, one part-time), and was raising a family of five. I still managed to graduate with a 4.0 GPA.
I don't say all that to brag. I bring it up because I was often asked by co-workers and classmates how I did it. Even today, though my overall workload is much less, I still often find it a struggle to make time to write, but I get it written.
Now, what if I told you that there is a series of techiques that I use that makes me uber-productive? Would you, too, like to know how I did it?
If so, here's the deal. A few months back, I actually created an entire video course that teaches how I accomplish so much. Starting with no knowlege of video production or editing, and with my wife providing the narration, I was very proud of what we created, and I have so wanted share with my WA family in case others were having trouble with productivity.
Alas, Wealthy Affiliate has a zero "spam" policy, and I was not about to risk offending anyone (or worse, getting banned) by talking about it; I truly feared that it would be seen as said spam. So I sat on it for months. Until now...
Suffice to say I have found a way to let everyone benefit from it without risking the spam clause. I had an epiphany, and the solution was to design a coupon code that lets you have the course for free.
I absolutely will not make a single penny, but I'm okay with that because I want everyone to have it as my way of giving back to the community that has offered me so much love and support in the few months that I've been here.
So, if this is something you think might help, please accept this as a gift from my heart. And if not, that's great, too. I wish you much success.
Happy writing :-)

Being that I am very new to the program, I need all the help, tips and good advice anyone is willing to share. Thank you!
AJ, You're a gem! Thank you for your generous gesture.
I am already taking a course called Copywriting Mastery. I feel that your course will compliment that course in the realm of being efficient. I started your course and was blown away at the high standard of the video and narration. Your wife has a voice that is calm and warm. It grabs ones attention. I am looking forward to completing this course. So professionally done!
Thanks once again!

Wow! I truly appreciate that. She was very self-conscious about her voice. I literally had never edited video before, so even though the course is only about an hour long, it took us about 9 months to finish. It was quite the learning experience. lol
I bet the next course you will create will take much less time. Your focus on the details shows you off as a seasoned pro! Looking forward to your next video. Cheers!
Hahahaha... Thank you for the compliment. I was definitely NOT a seasoned pro. lol
We kept having to stop and learn how to do the next step, so it was slow going, but I think it will go much faster next time. Now I can edit a 2-3 minute video in just about an hour or two. Hoping to incorporate my new-found hobby into my WA sites somehow in the future. :-)
That is so awesome, to share your experience, and I will definitely look at your video course, I'm sure that will help me to be more productive, I have such a hard time to write fast and regularly>
Thank you for your generosity!
