The Sophomore Curse

It was a great feeling when I joined Wealthy Affiliate. Then I became a Premium Member, which made me feel fabulous. Next was writing the first blog and publishing it – phenomenal!

Then I had to write the content for my second post- man was that hard. I struggled and struggled and struggled. For me to tell you this is not easy. I have written hundreds of articles and a book and then I had a challenge writing my second blog for my WA website. Go figure?

I attribute it to the sophomore curse. Many people have a terrific rookie year and they fall flat on their second year. We don’t want our second article to be less than the first, so the pressure is on. It really does get into your head. For many people, this ultimately stops them in their tracks.

It is true that it can crop up a little later. Maybe the third or fourth or later, but it does crop up. That is where we find the true believers, the true leader, the true champions. They fight on, the fight through it, they get it done.

You are that fighter, that champion. Because you will struggle through it and succeed!

I did and if I can you will.

Thank you, Michael! Have a great day

Nice ... you have excellent writing skills Charles. Just keep plugging away on the OEC training and get your site ready for the content stream needed to build the needed traffic to be successful.

Then let you great writing skill do the rest ... it will be down hill at this point.

This is a common issue with people just starting out. Keep plugging away at it and it will get easier. Often I use the process outlined in this training.
