This is interesting. You actually brainstormed yourself and found a solution. Great exercise.
If you are stuck for a while, don't be harsh on yourself. Just take a couple days break, divert your attention to something else, or go for some 'nature walks', then come back refreshed and energised. It does work for me. Good luck.

Hi Edwin. Sounds like you are going through a lull. Like a metaphorical pregnancy your wanting that baby to come now. Your assuming that 9 months is normal but in some cases it is longer.
Be patient, keep doing some research. I just started using google "keywords everywhere app" for Chrome. If you haven't tried it give it a shot.
Lost for subjects research your competition. Look at ways you can add to the topic or improve it.
You'll make it.

I often write / type things out similarly to what you did here..but it's just for me. Nobody else ever sees it. The whole purpose of it is there is simply something "magical" that happens when you write it all out.

Whether it frames it slightly differently or simply dumps it out of my mind so I can think clearer I am not sure. Perhaps is a combination of the two.

I only know that doing that almost always gives me several ideas potential solutions by the time I am done. Usually never even finish the original "track" because I am writing down the new thoughts the ideas I am getting and expanding on those.

On the affiliate marketing thing... I think it's quite possible some of the people writing those reviews haven't actually bought and tested all of those things. They are simply doing marketing.

The reviews generally seem to include the word "scam" in the title because apparently many people search for product names + "scam" trying to find out if something is legit before they spend their money.

From what I have seen... there are two main ways they use it... one is seemingly negative and then end up speaking favorably about the product or service and promote it with their affiliate link. The other is to write why they don't like it and then recommend a different product.

On writing... depends entirely on the subject. I can write all day about Internet marketing, the experiments I have done, things I have learned, etc. Same for game design and game development.

I can't do that with just any topic. Some things it is like "pulling teeth" as they say.

Is the reason just last night I bought a new domain for online income information. This one I can easily write 1 or more posts about every day. Then work on the other sites as much as I can.

Some things it's are just more natural to write for each of us I guess. Or quite possibly it is just these harder ones we haven't found our angle our "voice" for yet.

Not sure if any of this helps but I wish you the best of success!

Writing down a problem (or a recent argument) can be cathartic, same (I am sure) can be said for writers block, in fact as you were writing the above post you started to get out of your own head and look at what you could possibly do, come the end of the post you said I think I know what I can next do....you had by completion had an answer to your problem, you could then have deleted the post but why would you...it’s like magic...you can always look back on this post some time down the line, or indeed refer others to it.

As others have already said, you will find a way out, it’s just don’t stop trying.

I have been watching Ricky and co from “Income School” and they often say the early months are like a like a ghost town and don’t expect anything super-funk until month 10 or even the first year. I think they have training equivalent to our WA and their’s is called project 24 (meaning 24 months.)...and just like WA they too are respected in the industry. So all of the greats are saying the same thing.

So don’t beat yourself up, in fact go and watch a motivational You Tube clip, & heed the advice of the successful who say it’s a marathon not a race and remember the tortoise beat the Hare in the end, this because he was tenacious, steadfast and reliable.

Just like you 🐌. (couldn’t find a tortoise emoji...so found a snail lol)

If you have writer's block, you can do what I do lots of the time. I purchase PLR content and "Make it my Own" (see my training on this). Another thing is to just research PLR content and look over all the titles of articles, videos, etc available. You can be inspired by just the titles of things for sale.

For example, I searched "PLR and affiliate marketing) and got this link: https://www.idplr.com/affiliate-marketing-plr

Do a search just within that one PLR site to get some great ideas. a suggestion, on the ebooks PLR, look at the book chapters ajd contents lists for great ideas.

Edwin, you always come up with good posts.And you're right, putting things down sometimes is the way to break out of a slump.

Frankly, I was drowning in SAC and there was no way I could possibly catch up, There was too much I didn't know. My articles were good--Google indexed everyone, and I got good comments.
I had several say they were going to sign up--but no one has to date. I'm not sure content is enough to make it.It's important, but the other tech stuff is the vehicle to move it along.

I decided I was in the wrong place and I needed to back up and re-group. So, I went back and picked up my first website- I am in the process of bringing it up to date, and ,as I am able, I plan to continue the lessons and work both websites in my own timetable and rhythm. I feel better and more positive about my progress.

We all have our own avenues to travel.

Hi Edwin. I am in the same boat and I am trying to step up my game, which involves a lot of talking to myself, lol. You will get out of this. I really enjoy all of your internal blog posts - maybe you can use the ideas from the internal blogs to use in your website....Best wishes my friend. Cheers Susan

Hi Edwin, Joe, as always, has great advice. When you say 'writers block' is it that you are not feeling the love of writing or that you're struggling to find subject matter. I get the feeling from your post that it is primarily the latter ?
As many will attest, it happens to us all at various points. I'm not sure if there is 'one size fits all' solution, as it will depend on the 'why'. Personally, if this helps, I found that I had no 'love' for the content I was writing. I asked myself what I would like to write about (regardless or not if it was SAC or niche related).
It took me about four weeks before I had my epiphany. I have started afresh. I am writing content for a new site but as yet I am keeping it all in 'site content' so I am not feeling the pressure of regular publishing.
I have also finally started to write the book I have been promising myself I would do.
As a bi-product of doing these things I have published on my niche site and feel confident that I will continue to do so.
That was how I got through it, of course, regular posting here helps to keep the 'flow' going as well.
Hope this helps.

Edwin, it is easy for me. I am new to this and write to learn and practice. So, I read and observe. My focus is not just the content but do I have a different view, a unique view. If I can present it with a new set of lenses, maybe someone else can relate to that too. A lot have been written but what do I think and can I communicate my perspective.

Edwin, you have arrived at the place we all arrive at at some point...writer burn out. My advice, and one I had to do myself, back off! You can’t be all things to all people. Be selfish! Think about what will be best for you.
Take some time this weekend to just chill. Let SAC take a back seat...I know that may not resonate, but I have found that many times I have simply bit off more than I can chew...I had to admit it.
So, my friend, cool the jets...we’re cheering for you and will be here next week when you are fresh as a flower!
Have a great weekend.
Joe
