The more you do it, the more you'll figure things out and the better you'll get at it. It's a bit of a process this. If you're not accustomed to writing about yourself or writing at all then it will take time. Don't worry either. Everything takes time. Bill Gates wasn't an overnight success with Microsoft. Took him a few decades!

So you're going to promote something? Let's imagine I'm doing this with you.

I'm going to promote a new webcam.

*Important* Do I own it or have experience with it?

yes.

What was the problem?

My previous Logitech one broke down. The cable snapped and even the electrics company couldn't fix it.

How did that make me feel? Was I doing anything at the time? Was it frustrating?

I was feeling quite down because I was in the middle of recording a vlog for YouTube and now because of the break my viewers are wondering where the hell I am. Frustrating doesn't cut it. I want to throw it out of the window.

Is it a common Problem?

Yes. There are thousands of tutorials on YouTube how to fix it.

Did I try to fix it myself?

Yes. To no avail. I even bought a soldering iron. Once that cable was gone, it was gone

Did I take it to a professional?

Yes. They couldn't either

Did I find a solution?

Yes. I found loads of YouTube tutorials online on how to fix such things but in the end, I upgraded to my new webcam.


Did you see how a blog post is forming here? Many people had, and are having the same problem. I've just got myself an awesome post about my webcam mishaps and the solutions that I found.

Try that method out with anything that you post. It doesn't hurt to be descriptive. The more you are, the more people will relate to what's said. Remember - feelings relate to people.

I feel sad.

How did that make you feel when I wrote that?

Ask yourself these questions. When you read something, what happens in your mind? When I read a fantasy book, far away pictures and mythical creatures form in my head. Take your reader to the depths of their soul and back again.

When I write: I have a Logitech Webcam. It's great.

How did that make you feel?

Nothing?

Try this:

My previous Logitech webcam had failed in the midst of YouTube recording. I could hear the snide remarks from the computer store assistant when I didn't want to purchase insurance ringing in my ear right now. I was angry. I had to fix this. I searched Google frantically...

Hi Raymond!

I agree with your statement that you need to know the subject and have a passion for what you are going to work on in your niche.

But, in my opinion, I also think that if you have the passion for learning things, you can learn new things as well and work with that!

If you suddenly discovered the passion for building websites, then start learning about it. if you have discovered the passion for go fishing, go for it and start learning and learn as much you can about it.

The only problem with that is that it takes time to master it. Thus, starting with something what you already know and you are passionate about, is a better way to start. As you grow work on your passions.

In my example, I am working on my online marketing passion, although my biggest passion my whole life is tennis and the next big one is astrology.

I love all of them. Thus, setting priorities, entering into learning processes and start practicing your passion (or passions) is for sure the way to go. Sometimes it takes longer, sometimes shorter, but, in the end, if you really are passionate about a certain topic (product, service, skill, whatever) you will find the way to do it.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.

Wish you a lot of success,
Best regards,
Igor

Stay well, market better, convert best!

well we can't lump 'all' of them together, but you make a good point about their 'websites' because it looks like most of them don't have one, they just have an aggressive marketing strategy designed to pressure people to buy their services and THAT is what makes them the money, and yes a lot of it is scam. They are getting rich but the product may not be worth it or worth the price...

well, that explains a lot then, they look quite reliably though, all those impressive GA stats all over their websites, that could be counterfeit, but some of them manage to trick poor Bob Proctor to got them his endorsement, that is really something... many thanks for your reply and your kind explanation
Cheers

I feel the same - I know nothing about website building but i want to be a WA affiliate - it's brought me to a halt trying to write content on something I don't fully understand. Your article was well timed! Thank you!

Hello rbaxter80, definitely know what your talking about. I got the same issue, mind block. I have been studying to be an investor and know more about that and, here with WA I'm going for marketing and advertising. Always thought why can't I get paid to be online, not knowing people where already doing it. Well long story, so think I will let you get back to it. Best of luck on your goals. Hope it works out for you. I just got into course 2, lesson 1. Still trying to figure all this out. Just moved my site over to my own domain. Going to see how that works. I'll keep in touch. Many blessings to you and it will work out in the end.
