How to Create a Bestselling Book and a Million Dollar Business

A lot of people blog for a living these days. A lot of bloggers get into it because they have a website and have found blogging to be a way to get traffic to their website. Others bloggers are writers who make extra income writing blog posts for others. Many bloggers do both.

When you're writing up to 100 or more blog posts per week, you're bound to burn out and get writer's block. But if you're going to make money blogging, you've got to stay productive.

Blogging assignments change from one day to the next. Occasionally, you'll be given an assignment to write a lot of articles about one thing. That's great in one respect, because you only need to do your research once and then get down to making money blogging. You may have to research a subject you're unfamiliar with. Spending an hour learning about scrapbooking papers, for instance, isn't so bad if you follow up with a dozen or more articles about the subject.

If you're given a very technical assignment, but they only want a single article, consider turning it down. It may not be worth your time to learn about the technology behind a digital sport watch, for instance. If you are only asked to write about what a handsome watch it is, that can be done in a time efficient manner, though.

Some writers actually prefer technical articles because they require lots of facts. They can't think of what to write when they're asked to write about a black helmet as a fashion statement as opposed to a white helmet. Who cares? It's a matter of preference. How can you be expected to write 500 words about a personal preference?

If that describes you, try taking on a few non-technical articles for a change of pace. When you learn to de-activate your intellectual mind and activate your creative mind, you'll find that you have plenty to write about. Let your feelings and imagination take over. Beautiful Parisian models wear white helmets as they glide through the streets of Paris on their motor scooters. Evil biker gangs wear black. It doesn't matter what the statistics say. If you're writing about aesthetics, it's feelings that count.

If you're a creative writer stuck with a technical article, just get as many facts as you need to give your article authority and fill in the rest with fluff. Blog articles aren't meant to be textbooks, so don't overdo it. You owe it to your employer to take your work seriously, but you're not going to win any prizes for your posts, so don't take it too seriously. Make it fun and you'll be far more productive!
