I guess this can work for writers block too and generating ideas but it’s mainly for people that think they can’t get into writing in the first place.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. You’re definitely not alone.

Thanks Hollie. I’m glad that the tips were helpful and they’ll make your writing process easier when you implement them.

Oh yeah. I wanted to answer those questions anyway.

Q1. Do you write a daily diary?
A1. I actually don’t but I do try to write something daily. I have a blog that is not really for marketing purposes that I use to just write stuff I have opinions about.

Q2. What is your favorite content producing tool?
A2. I’d have to say the Google Search Bar. Or maybe Trello. I use Trello to record a steady flow of content ideas, to organize my content outlines and to save links related to content that I’m producing/researching.

Q3. Did you enjoy writing in school?
A3. I loved to write. English was my favorite class and I have no idea how I didn’t become an author. I always had random notebooks where I just wrote the most random stuff. I guess it’s a blessing to have a career where writing is one of the main tasks.

Well said Paul. Are the questions at the end for me or are they for the readers to think about when they’re questioning themselves?

Personally, I really love writing content and do not see it as work. I have opinions on many things and I write to get them out.

One thing that made it easy for me in the beginning, when I was trying to come to terms with the idea that producing content shouldn’t be work is when I developed a technique called the Grandma Method. I would imagine my grandmother, who I love and care about dearly, asking me about these topics, like “how do I write content if I hate writing” or “what do you think about this product, should I try it” and what I would tell her if she was sitting right next to me.

In the marketing world they call this developing a persona but I didn’t know that at the time. You focus on what you would tell your ideal customer or reader as if you were having a face to face conversation.

It’s really simple to come up with content as I’ve shown here in this article but too many people over-complicate stuff and doubt themselves. Just write what you would tell them. Format it later if you have to.

To the point and very well said.
The problem that most of us have, comes from our school days.
We spend years being brain-washed and unlearning.
We are constantly being told that we cannot do this, that, and the other thing because we are not qualified.

Your post describes this very well.
I read these long comments as well, from people who tell me they cannot produce content, and yet these very comments are often 400 or 500 words long.

You show many easy ways to learn content production.

I didn’t know about the Google thing either until a couple of weeks ago. I have yet to try it though.

This is so true. I love how you have provided some practical ways to write without having to write. And that most people would not realise they are communicating everyday and writing in some form without realising it.

This opens up the door to building an affiliate marketing business and getting past that having to write hurdle. Thank you again!

You’re right. I think writing is one of the biggest challenges a lot of people face when they start out with affiliate marketing. Hopefully, they’ll see writing in a different light after reading this article.
