The Simple ‘Trick’ That’s Get’s You Writing Even When You Don’t Feel Like It

The other day, I sat down at my desk to write and the next thing I knew over half an hour had passed and I hadn’t even started writing and instead, I was checking email and reading a few online articles and blog posts that were in my RSS reader.

When I suddenly realised how much time I’d wasted I instantly closed my email and my browser, got out my writing computer (My Mac Book Air) and got to work.

And this is the simple “trick” that can get you writing every day, even when you don’t feel like it.

What is this “trick” you ask?

Did you miss it?

What I did was, I simply started working, and usually that’s all it takes.

The easiest way to earn more money writing is to simply show up and do the work every day. Even if you’re not the world’s greatest writer, you can earn more money from your writing than most other people if you outwork them.

Even if you only end up working for 30 minutes a day it’s better than not showing up at all.

I only set out to work for 2 to 3 hours a day, but I usually end up doing more or going back later to finish.

A person who hardly ever writes yet is good at what they do, will never earn as much money as a mediocre writer who writes every day.

It’s possible to outwork everyone else just by showing up daily.

And I’ll let you in on a secret; even the best and most successful writers, often find it hard to start. But what makes them the best and most successful, is they don’t let that stop them.

So if you haven’t started showing up and writing every day, you can start now.

The Rich Dad, Poor Dad Truth About Writing an eBook

I used to think that when it came to making money as an author, the most important thing was to be able to write books.

But I soon realised that it wasn’t true.

It seemed that writing a book wasn’t enough. What I really need to know was how to sell it.

And that’s why I began to read dozens of books about marketing, including one of my favourites, Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.

You see, marketing is the most important aspect of being in business and earning money.

As an example, anyone can make a better burger than McDonald's, but McDonald's know how to market. That's why they outsell all other burger joints.

So you don’t just need to know how to write a book, but how to sell it.

This is why one of my favourite ebooks is The 10-Day Ebook Writing and Publishing System because it not only guides you step-by-step through writing and publishing an ebook, it also shows you how you can earn $1,000 a month from it.

Writing a book (or an ebook) and not making sales is a waste of time.

But the 10 Day eBook, not only saves you time (in just 10 days), it helps you earn money from every ebook you write.

I know because I use it myself.

Essentialism and Writing

Many people think that essentialism means doing more.

But it actually means doing less so that you have more time to spend on the essentials in your life.

It means doing less of the unimportant things, or things that no longer serve you, like overeating, watching too much TV, and less of other things that you don’t want in your life including friends and family always wanting favours or wanting your attention.

If you want to write, just write. Tell them you’re busy.

Essentialism isn’t about doing less, but doing less of the unimportant things in your life.

And only you know what’s important to you. Don’t let anyone take that away.

Want to write more?

Do it.

Why Your Writing Blog or Website Is Not Your Writing Business

It’s easy to be deceived into thinking that if you write for your own blog or website, that it’s your online writing business, as in “I own my own blog/website.” (And for the sake of ease, I’ll refer to both as a blog)

But it doesn't matter how many blog posts you write or how many articles you upload your blog is not your writing business. It’s a distribution channel.

And what does it distribute?

Your books or your writing service, because these are the products you sell.

Your blog is there to guide prospects to the products you sell.

So to earn more money, what you need is more products to sell.

I’ve always found a financial correlation between how many products I sell and how much money I make, and  I use my online sites to advertise my latest books or other products.

So even if you call yourself a blogger, your blog is still your distribution channel where you market the products you sell.
