"But I've only been on the Internet 3 months! How can I
write an article?" That was my reaction back in 1999 when I
began my online career and heard that writing articles was
the key to bringing targeted visitors to my website. But I went ahead anyway and wrote my first article. I soon
discovered that writing articles is the quickest way to
build your reputation as an expert in the world of online
marketing. So don't wait for someone else's permission - start writing
articles and grab your space in the limelight. Here are some other mental blocks and how to deal with
them: (1) "I don't where to start". Start anywhere - it doesn't
matter where. Putting words on paper is like planting a
seed in your subconscious. Your mind will go to work on it
while you're busy doing other things: while you're driving,
while you're sleeping, while you're doing the dishes.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, will come the next idea. That's
the power of the subconscious and the power of putting
words on paper. (2) "I don't know how to finish". Again, it doesn't matter.
Just write and the conclusion will come to you of it's own
accord. (3) "It's just an idea". This is another mental trap - the
fear of turning ideas into reality. Look around you and
realize that every skyscraper, every ocean-going liner, and
every symphony was once "just an idea". (4) "I'll do it tomorrow". Tomorrow never arrives. Give
yourself a deadline. Imagine that your article must be
finished within the next 12 hours - you'll be surprised how
much you get done! (5) "My article will be a flop". This is a big one - fear
of failure. It's much safer to never try. But remember,
with every article you write you are one step closer to
developing your own unique style, your "voice". In that
sense, you can never fail. (6) "I can't get it right". Some times you simply can't
find the right words. Turn off your inner critic and just
write. When you have something down on paper, you have
something to work with. But you can't work with something
that remains an idea in your head. (7) "I can't sort out my ideas". The easiest way to
organize your article ideas is to use a technique that
mirrors the way the mind works. This technique is called
Mind Mapping. We are taught in school to use lists to
organize our ideas. But lists are linear and the mind
doesn't think in a linear fashion. You can find out more
about Mind Mapping at: http://www.mind-map.com/ Good luck with your articles! And remember - writing
teaches writing. ------------------------------------------------------------
