For members who are struggling with content
Hey Guys, hope you are all doing well.
I haven't written anything for a while so thought I'd knock up a few lines for members who are struggling with writing content.
When I first started at Wealthy Affiliate, the biggest hurdle for me was the amount of content that I would have to write.
In fact, it didn't register until maybe a few months into my Wealthy Affiliate membership that this might be an issue as I'd never done anything like this in the past.
I'm sure most people were/are in the same boat!
After about 9 months with writing maybe at most 5/6 reviews/posts in a month, I decided to give it a break, because quite honestly my mindset wasn't right.
I had little faith!
The break ended up being about 17 months and for many. I guess leaving it so long would have meant not coming back at all.
Anyway, I did in March 2020 with a clearer vision but still not upping my game and producing more content.
I did manage to create 9/10 at most in a month but I knew that wasn't enough.
The problem I had was trying to make the content perfect, and there is nothing wrong with that except at the expense of the time that it takes.
I was always asking, how can someone churn out 20 reviews/posts in a month, that seems well beyond my capabilities.
Anyway, in March 2021 I decided to try and up my game.
15 review/posts in March,
24 review/posts in April and was a little peeved because I could have written 1/day. 60,000 words.
How is that possible?
Simple, I stopped trying to perfect things.
What about writer's block, which we all go through?
That was a problem because it is difficult to come up with fresh ideas?
Just copy a piece of content into your post just to take away the thoughts of what you'd previously written.
"Do not copy other peoples work"
Just remember to rewrite it and delete the original!
The point I'm trying to make is that it does get easier, so stick at it and remember all of us have gone and going through that same process.
JUST STICK AT IT AND DO NOT GIVE UP!!!
Enjoy the rest of the day

Thanks for that Mick, it's good to read how you're now able to churn out 60k words per month!!
I'm where you were - but am definitely getting better.
Even if I can't get up to your work rate, there is no way I'm quitting. Even a tortoise can get to the finish line as long as it keeps moving forward!!
I wish you all the best. It will be interesting to hear the impact that your efforts have on your website traffic.

Hey Matt,
I think half the battle is to enjoy what you are doing and at first, that was a struggle for me and the fact that you don't seem to be moving in the right direction.
Having the right mindset and believing in what I am doing is going to work eventually is what pushes me on.
When I get a little disheartened which happens more often than not, I just look at some of the member's blogs who are having successes to give me a little boost.
Thanks for reading Matt.
Cheers
Mick
