Hey, lazy procrastinators, join me!
I've joined WA almost 2 months ago and was really fascinated by the comminity and the whole idea of making money online (yes, I've got too old and lost in the world of contemporary business. Becoming way too lazy and on the go person is one of those dangers waiting for many downshifters living in tropics).
By the end of the second training part I had my website built, I've learnt many new things and eventually faced the all the time problem of myself - being a lazy procrastinator. I am stuck on the content creation. I have wrote a couple of articles, but exploring the niche I found that there are fantastic websites and creators much better than me...
I've tried to follow Kyle's advise to get a notepad for daily planning (as I had long ago before), but guess what, only 2 days planned and then the notepad forgotten... So, I'm thinking to stop my premium membership for a while, until I have at least 100 articles ready to put on the site, otherwise i'm just paying for my own procrastination... However, I don't want to drop this whole thing, it really inspires me, so what would you suggest to do?
PS: I know I could just copy the articles from the other sites within my niche, but I want to make it personal. And I'm quite positive person, so don't be scared to join my community =D

First off, no you can't copy articles from other sites within your niche. That's called plagiarism. You can research on the web for information that fits your niche; then you rewrite it in your own words.
You can find other fascinating articles on other posts, but as someone recently told me, no one else has your voice, or your exact take on something. Haven't you ever noticed that a good teacher will say the same thing in several different ways? That is because we all learn in slightly different ways, and respond differently.
The "lazy procrastinator" problem is your own. Decide what you really want. What was your goal when you started? Have you set a goal that you want so bad you can taste it? Such a goal will help motivate you to do the work. You CAN succeed at this business, but not unless you put in the time, effort, and commitment.
Go for it! Don't let your progress be all for nothing. Focus and move forward.
I wish you the very best.

Thanks, Fran! I just wanted to share my "progress" so far as it was one of the tasks and maybe find people struggling the same problem ))) It's not just about being lazy, but creation process is something that not all people are tend to do on a daily basis.
And of course, under no circumstances I wanted to promote plagiarism. But when I search for articles within my niche, I can see almost all of them use the same words, just because you can't explain certain things with words designated for the particular phenomena )) I guess, nowadays it's called copywriting and it's quite popular profession across the internet (or not?)))
It takes genius to create and invent, I envy to those who say it just comes from the tips of your fingers =)))) Will keep on trying, I have a reason to do it ))) Thanks for your support and feedback!
You hang in there, Natalie. If you stay focused, you can do well on here. Set a schedule and make yourself follow it.

Hi - if you wish to stop paying premium you would have to cancel your membership. You would then lose access to this platform and if you have a purchased domain you would be given 30 days to move it to another hosting service.
oops, sounds like a motivation to keep going on premium, didn't know it, thanks for the info!
