Mark Twain once stated, “A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.” I am fond of something similar. Everybody wants to be a writer, but nobody wants to write.
Many new members come to Wealthy Affiliate with hopes and dreams, only to feel deflated when they realize blogging requires writing content… lots and lots of content. (P.S. This training was inspired by new WA member, @Cherry21. Give her a follow; she’s an amazing person with a bright future.)
Fear not, friends. It is not a scary as it sounds. In fact, in this training, I’m going to show you how even if you have no experience writing, you can still create content that will knock reader’s socks off.
You will:
- Overcome your fear of writing once and for all
- Learn why being an “expert” is actually the worst thing you can do
- Discover the three biggest killers when it comes to writing consistently
- Stop worrying about grammar and still write something great
- Find inspiration even when you’ve got nothing to write about
- And much more
So, if you’re ready, let’s get started…
OK .. so I went through the whole process again and even
wrote my about me Intro page and then i went off to bed feeling
confident.
I wake up Eagar to start ! and out of no where panic stricken
i buckled.
I actually deleted my website , erased my niche , not that I was really comfortable writing it to begin with but I tried , and thought it was great .
But the more I thought about it and the more I read from others , the more I started to think I had this all wrong.. my first thoughts when starting out here was that I was selling things by driving traffic somehow , How ? I have no clue , to be honest , the more I did the less confident I was becoming in what I was doing . so here is my problem..
I can pretty much guide any one , I'm the go to for relationship advice , advice on handling kids , teens dealing with there parents advice on raising ourselves, advice about motivating ourselves and believing in ourselves, dealing with a loved one whose an addict of any kind , I just give great advice apparently ..
But ya know that saying , It's easier said than done , or I'm the pot calling the kettle black , which I never understood by the the way , regaurdless . let me see if I've got this all finally
so when picking a niche it can be anything , that people are going to want to read! anything that is relatable and realistically useful to a group of people to initially get them to your websight, and while catching there attention and keeping them intregued enough to read and come back and or to interact allowing them to tell me there needs .
if I'm doing my job and listening my next post should be fulfilling there needs by offering suggestions to sites they unknowingly told me they want or need thus allowing me to collect the benefits of of sending traffic to those sites allowing me to be an affiliate also? or am I completly wrong again? I'll be stuck between lesson 7 and 2 for ever! please help me..

A great introduction to how to write for beginners. People just get caught in the details of what to include, spelling and grammar. The longer a document is, the more likely it will have mistakes. Our brains work faster than we type. We are so critical of our own work and we think it is never good, but guess what some people will be impressed, others not much so. That's life.
The only difference I would make is that I wouldn't recommend that the first draft is made in front of a computer. The computer will mock you. Instead write the first draft using pen and paper. In that way, when you transcribe it to the computer you will make changes and therefore your second draft.
Thank you for this great training.
