Ok guys. It's been a little while but i've been out of commission. I had a knee injury that really set me back in the gym, and therefore it set my motivation back a bit as well. However, I didn't stop reading and researching what WA has to offer. I even joined Jaaxy and it literally revolutionized the way I do keyword research. So much so in fact, I have great news.
Today I created my first Pillar Article. I've been avoiding doing this for about 4 days, procrastinating like its nobody's business. Why? Because i kept repeating "writing is hard. I hate writing. What the hell am I going to write about for 1000 freaking words" Ugh.... but the irony is that when I wrote my first article to put it up on StreetArticles.com, i thought to myself "wow, that was painless and really easy. That was fast. I know that when I write, I write just to write and it came out really easily."
So truth be told, no matter how easy I find it to write, I just didn't feel like doing it. Ugh, but that really the bullsh** I kept telling myself because I simply didnt want to write the Pillar Article. Now that its done, I look back at the 5 hours I spent writing the damn thing and I'm floored. It took me a while because it's my first, but also because I wanted to correct the grammar mistakes, and spelling errors I may have made.
All in all, my super article (which is live on my site, where it should be), is 2361 words long!!!! I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?!?!?! Like where the hell did that come from? It just goes to show you that when you write to provide quality information, words will flow. Honestly, I started this campaign not giving a sh** about this campaign, all I really want is to make money.
But as i got more involved in researching this niche, i realized that there are a lot of people suffering from this ailment and I can really be a light at the end of the tunnel for these people. People can learn something from me. I still aim to make money, but now I know that I can write pretty easily knowing I'm helping others. Doing the research makes writing a lot easier.
I am very proud of myself. And I hope this helps inspire all of you out there. Motivation is a tough thing to have especially when you don't have Clickbank and affiliate checks flying into your mailbox right now. But just keep at it and don't give up. It really does help to write your goals down somewhere you will see it every single day to remind yourself of why you're doing this.
