For affiliate websites, you really need to be more of a researcher than a writer. You spend time researching (googling and reading other peoples pages on the subject) and then writing a report on what you've read.

To tell you the truth there's not really a lot of creativity to it, other than how you can re-write what you've learned, or merely read, and format a post.

Unless you already know enough about a given subject to just start writing about it?

So in the end, writing post for an affiliate site isn't much different than writing reports in high school?

Once you start it only follows that creativity will play more and more a part, but even then it's not quite the same as waiting for the muse to help you write a novel.

Kyle just today (I think) published this post I Don't Have Time to Start a Business. about excuses?

I'd recommend picking up a secondhand copy of 'If You Can Talk, You Can Write' by Joel Saltzman for a few cents over at Amazon

You could also hop over to a PLR site like http://www.theplrstore.com and grab a pack of articles for your niche that you can then totally rewrite. If you use coupon code [ updates09212017 ] you should get 30% off from your first order.

If all else fails, you can commission content at somewhere like Textbroker http://www.textbroker.com ;)

This job does require a lot of writing and a little creativity.

What i would suggest is to look at the alternate. WA teaches you what you need to know to basically become self-sufficient.

You no longer need a boss, you no longer need to piss and moan about being told what to do and for how long, you no longer need an alarm clock!

It may sound like the same thing you always hear, but the truth is you have to mow through if you want to succeed with it.

The best thing about the internet is that there are 4 billion people on it at any given time, even if you do not think you are that creative, there is thousands of people that think you are just because you are putting out something of value on the internet.

The fact that you are where you are right now proves that you are light-years ahead of 3/4 of the people who has ever said, "I hate my job, i wish i could just quit" Just because you took a step in the right direction.

Writing is not for everyone, i totally get it and you could be one of those people. but To me, writing is a lot easier than the crap I would have to deal with at a job.

If it means anything, it does get easier the more you do it. Then when the site is getting huge traffic in a few months you will not have to updated as regularly.

There is light at the end of the tunnel. I would definitely give it a solid 6 months.

Pick your subject that u want to write about and then search for a keyword for that subject. Once u have your keyword (can be a string of words), start to write your first two sentences with your keyword in it. Then start writing as if u were having a conversation about your subject to somebody. Express your viewpoints and how u feel about your subject, just like talking to someone. Don't worry about "wordsmithing" and stuff now, just write what u feel and think about your subject. U can use Grammarly (a free plugin) that will correct your spelling and grammar structure for u to help make things easier. Over time u will begin to get better at "wordsmithing" as u begin to see what your readers are responding to.

I wish u great success and hope this helps a little. If u got questions or get stuck feel free to ask me anytime. :)

Hey Alan, what is your niche? Doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with you, but some hesitation to jump in. When I write, I typically want it to be really good. I have found that this holds me back because I feel like it has to be perfect from the start. Instead, I try to get a few thoughts going, not even sure sometimes where it will end up. But, once I get a couple of thoughts down, more of the ideas take shape in my mind and words come more easily, even if they aren't perfect. I have to get out of my own way sometimes. You can do this. Kyle recently suggested to me to try using one of the templates if I'm really stuck. At least you have a structure to work from and a place to fill up with your thoughts. Plus the page doesn't seem as blank! Don't give up yet!

Hi and welcome. I read your post and then I read your profile. You actually can write. Sometimes it's a good idea to put away the templates (if you're using them) and just write. You could "free-flow" why you want an online business, what your website is about and why you chose it, what are some life lessons. Don't worry about publishing, just write. You'll soon see you can do it.
