Writing with passion is tricky. For some reason, when we sit down to write, the words don't flow like they used to. It doesn't feel fun and creative anymore. Instead, it feels like work. It is because there's a gap between what you want to write and who you are as a writer. To close that gap, try these simple steps.

Surround yourself with things and people that inspire you. Then, go out and surround yourself with inspiring places. Whether a team or friend, spouse, agency or anyone who inspires you, it's easy to get excited and start writing content.

Write About What You Know

Don't try to be an expert on everything, and don't try to write about things you don't have experience with. Covering these topics makes your writing more authentic, hopefully getting more readers and visitors. Your success is more likely to come from traditional advertising, marketing, and media and more from online mediums like Facebook, Google, and Twitter.

Write Every Day

Spend time with your writing every day. If you want to be a writer, you need to write every day. If you're going to be a professional writer, you need to spend a lot of time with your writing every day. I try to get in at least 3 hours of writing per day, but I know writers who spend as much as 6 hours a day writing.

There Are Readers Skim What You Write

Another way readers tend to skim online is when they pick up a piece of content and dismiss it straight away. Are they like, "This is about me? Really?" It adds to our stress. It lets people know that you lived a particular lifestyle before becoming a writer, so you have an angle or story that they should pay attention to.

For example, as a tenant, you have lived with your landlord. You know how they interact with the tenants. You know how regular rent payments are handled. You have an idea of what landlords working with tenants on their level looks and feel like. It allows you to incorporate what you know about renting into your content.

Keep Your Eyes on the Prize

And finally, don't forget those main objectives to write your content — making money and keeping your house. It would be best to focus on what your audience wants when they read your piece, not what the earned media is trying to sell you.

Nothing else matters if nobody is reading. If you're reading this article, I hope you are interested in becoming a writer. If not, I hope you're reading it because you like traveling and surfing, and you want to be an action hero with a big budget. Then do it. You're on your way to writing excellent content.
