Article Marketing Tips – How To Keep Yourself Motivated

February 7, 2010   Filed under Business Marketing

I have been writing articles and submitting them to various article directories for around a year now. At the outset I had a multitude of subjects to write about. I must have written around an average of article per day for the first six months but then disaster struck – well at least article marketing disaster – I ran out of things to write about – or at least I thought I had. I had absolutely no idea what to write my next article about. I am going to be writing about ways in which people can fight back when these periods of writing drought appear, I hop you enjoy the read.

I developed a stutter when I was four years of age and it continued to affect my life for the next eighteen years. I have managed to overcome this speech impediment and as a career I now help other people to achieve fluency. I feel I know quite a lot about the subject and found it quite easy and enjoyable to write about all aspects of stuttering.

After a while I could not think of anything new to write about stuttering, which would be of value to people and made the mistake or re-writing some of the articles using different words. Much to my ignorance I was not aware that this was frowned upon – I now realise that I should have read the article marketing guidelines at the outset – I guess I was just to eager to get started on writing those articles. Either that or employ a company that could provide me with a professional article submission service.

I then wrote about some of the experiences from my own life, like how I coped when my now ex-girlfriend left me and even stories about my dog!

One morning I woke up with very good intentions, I was planning on writing three or four new articles. I turned on the computer and basically sat there. I attempted to tell my brain to start writing but it was like my mind was frozen and could not think of any suitable or worthwhile words. The problem was that I could not think of anything to write about. There was only one thing for it – I needed more sleep therefore I returned to my bed. I seem to be able to think clearer from my bed, a bit weird I know.

I decided that I was not only going to write about my own life and experiences but I would also write about my family and friends. There are a number of other subjects that I could quite easily write about including:

How to promote a website

Web design

Selling cheap hotel deals

Self confidence

Travel

Sport

Business

These are all areas I have a great interest in and even though they are not my main line of business, the articles should be of interest to people. Most of the topics which I have listed are things which I or people I know, have had experiences with. The majority of people who have this form of speech impediment (stuttering) will have a lower self-esteem than the average fluent person – this is for obvious reasons in reality.
