I've actually written two books that were published (and sold on Amazon!) and the process of writing them wasn't that difficult. I knew my audience and my subject material and I just sat at my computer and "talked". I'm naturally organized so it was easy to put my thoughts into a comprehensive format without too much preparation.
And then I wrote a dissertation. While I also knew my audience and subject material quite well, that was harder to get through. Maybe it was the academic-ness of it all. But I did it. And got the title that goes with it!
So I have tried this blog writing thing before. I would start all gung-ho and write two or three posts and then promptly lose interest. But then WA came along and I dedicated myself to creating an informative niche site and contribute to it on a regular basis. I could create 2 or 3 keyword rich quality content articles a week. I could. And I will, dammit!
And then imagine my surprise when I am going through the incredibly informative Level 2 Certification course and I find out that I now have to write articles for OTHER sites that are not my own and they have to be completely new material! So now, in addition to my 2 or 3 articles for my own site, I am writing 2 or 3 more articles for other sites! That is a lot of writing and a lot of different article subjects. When I developed my site in my head, I could count on one hand subjects I could write articles on but now I have to double and triple that and it seems overwhelming!
But then there is this thing called Keyword Research and the advanced techniques that were taught in Level 2 (Alphabet soup technique, Wikipedia, eHow, Thesaurus.com) and I was amazed! I stumbled across at least 5 possible new article ideas in just 45 minutes of research. Those are fascinating techniques and so helpful. Level 2 is worth the price of Premium membership alone!
Of course, I am still a little overwhelmed about coming up with so many articles and writing so much, but I am dedicated to this! And honestly, the more that I work on my site, the more excited I am about making it succeed.
So write on, my friends! Write on!
