A common problem amongst online business owners who need to write articles to promote their businesses, is that of "writing fatigue." The initial source of article subjects seems to dry up and it suddenly seems impossible to find new subject material. The writer finds him or herself staring endlessly at the computer screen, waiting unsuccessfully for inspiration. We offer some tips to overcome this problem.



One of the key components of article-writing is to write about subjects that are familiar to you. The less time you have to spend on research, the more articles you can generate. If you need to write in an unfamiliar niche, you must take some time to educate yourself about the subject. Remember that you should have been through a fairly intensive training period while setting up your business. At the conclusion of your initiation period you will already be significantly more knowledgeable than your reader who is seeking first-time information.

It will also be beneficial to stick to simpler topics initially. Write about your own decision making processes. Discuss the motivation that decided you to make changes, and to implement the steps you have already taken. You will be able to take on more difficult topics as you become more familiar with your niche and as your business develops.

It's important to be excited about your topics. It is obviously beneficial to be writing articles in a niche about which you are truly passionate. You will be more motivated and enthusiastic and this will reflect in the type and style of your articles.

Try also to be totally focused when writing. You should ideally find somewhere quiet to work where there is less chance of distraction or interruption. Trying to write quality articles while watching TV is unlikely to be very successful!

If you are aiming at writing high numbers of articles which are not destined for publication by Article Directories, it is quite possible to produce between 10 and 20 articles per day, once your mind is in writing mode. Because these articles are usually shorter and more direct, they'll take less time to write.

If you find typing a slow or difficult process, you may consider purchasing a voice recognition software programme and dictate your articles in that way. This technique can save you time as you are speaking rather than picking at a keyboard.

Don't forget that practice does make perfect, and you will be amazed at how quickly you will be able to type, even with two fingers, given enough practice!

Some marketers do not enjoy writing and this is reflected in the articles they write. If you are the type of person who has to drag yourself to sit down and write then you may look at hiring an article writer, or writing service. This can release some of your time to focus on other more enjoyable aspects of your business.

The key is to use your own experience and to write about the personal decisions involved in choosing the type of business to enter. Discuss the logic involved in each case where you have had to choose one option from amongst several. Don't be shy to admit to having made mistakes - this shows that you are a real live person, and not just an auto responder.
