I know this for a fact: you can talk for hours about something that interests you.
We all can.
You should’ve heard me when I first fell in love. My best friend’s ears were bleeding.
But when it comes to writing, we choke.
There are a few reasons for that.
Writing requires clarity of thought. You can’t just ramble on about the way he looked at you forever.
With writing, there’s skin in the game. You’re putting yourself out there hoping to get something in return, and your audience knows it, so you feel like you have to sound smarter than you are.
We have the wrong idea of the purpose of writing. Blog posts don’t exist only to educate; novels don’t exist only to entertain. You can do whatever the hell you want and still give value to readers.
Boy, we are great at making things more complicated than they need to be.
The truth is simple: there’s something you really want to do & you know a lot about it.
If only there were a way to organize all that knowledge into engaging, unique article ideas…
Well, I live to serve.
Today, I launched the 100+ Irresistible Article Ideas To Ignite Your Creativity & Unlock Online Success PDF, and it’s completely free.
If you use those creative prompts to jot down your next 100 article ideas and you write/post two articles per week, you’d have a content plan for the whole year.
Trust me; this makes things a lot easier.
I can only produce 4 articles + 2 newsletters every week (on top of writing for clients and raising kids) because I have a fail-proof system.
My system includes a long list of article ideas that I choose from any time I sit down to write.
And, just for you, a little hack because you’re the most amazing audience ever.
Once you have your 100+ article ideas, you do this with each one:
You research & think the topic through to form your unique angle/opinion—20 min.
You write the first draft down as if speaking to a friend—20 min.
You let AI do the final edits by training it to write in your voice—20 min.
Did anyone say DONE?
Now, cocktail time. It’s Friday, after all.
Happy weekend to you, too, genius writers!
