You cannot sell what you don’t have, so the more you write, the more you can earn. Put simply, more products means more money.
Don’t fall for the old wive’s tale that says if you write quickly, you’ll write badly. I’ve always found that the opposite is true. When I write fast, I write more like I speak, which makes it easier to read, plus I don’t have time to second-guess myself, which not only makes writing easier, but it also makes it more enjoyable too, which means I’m more likely to want to do it.
Not only that, but when I don’t second-guess myself, I find that my first instincts were right, which they always are, no matter what the situation.
Writing speed is important which is why my books talk about it —
How to Write an Article in 15 Minutes or Less: Including Research, Writing and Proof Reading
The 12 Month Writing Challenge: Write and Publish 12 Books in a Year
Can you imagine how much more money you could earn if you wrote an ebook in 7 days, a book in a month, and wrote a series of articles in 15 minutes to promote the heck out of them?
But don’t get me wrong. Writing fast doesn’t mean writing at a break-neck speed. When I say you should write fast, I mean write without stopping. Turn off your internal critic and don’t try to edit as you write. Just start writing and keep going. I discovered early on that the more I wrote, the faster I naturally got, without even trying at all.
I find that if I keep writing, even if I think I’m going wrong or think I’ve gotten off-topic a bit too much, when I read my work back, it’s actually OK. It was just my inner critic trying to stop me. And I usually put my work away for at least a day or two after I’ve finished writing it so that I can read it with ‘fresh eyes.’
At first it can seem hard to quiet your inner critic and not stop to edit because it takes confidence to keep writing no matter what. But confidence comes with practice, which is the same with everything we do. It’s just like when you first learn to drive and it seems so hard because not only do you have to control the car, but you also have to watch out for everything else like pedestrians, other cars, traffic lights, road signs and lane markings. It seems impossible at first because there’s so much to concentrate on. Then when you get your driving license and drive more, driving becomes easier and your confidence grows.
And it’s the same with writing. The more you do it, the faster you get, the easier it becomes, and the more money you start earning.
And it all starts by simply writing and not letting anything distract you. Not even your own lack of confidence, otherwise known as your inner critic.
