Here are some blog writing tips I thought you could use:
I often show my Marketer’s Relief members this blog you’re on right now as an example of how to Structure and Optimize a blog, but they often say to me,
“Dan, it looks like you’ve spent years and thousands of hours building that blog up to what it is today”…
Well, that’s not exactly true… This blog is less than a year old and I’ve spent some hours on this blog but not thousands of hours.
You see, once a blog is set up and configured the way I want it to be, the rest is merely writing.
- The #1 hardest part for many people who want websites of their own is getting them set up the way the want it to be.
- The #2 part is getting comfortable adding content to it.
THEN…. if you have a site set up in a “passion-niche” then the only thing left to do is write good content once the motivation to do so “hits you”.
So how do you write often, and write well?
Write when you feel motivated, and you got something to get off your chest, and the words will flow naturally.
“It is a fact often observed, that men have written good verses under the inspiration of passion, who cannot write well under other circumstances.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The content will be good and won’t seem manufactured, like you’re trying to “go after” certain keywords or whatever with your writing.
As a matter of fact, as I’m writing this I have no idea what keywords I will optimize the post for but I will get to that later.
I just want to share a writing tip with you because writing is essential to creating good, unique quality content not seen elsewhere, and this type of content is NOT achievable via outsourcing.
The more important point to consider here is that the content flows outwards from brain > to keyboard > to published blog post rather quickly when you write without regard for the distractions such as keyword optimization, what to write about etc…
Again, the secret to writing a lot and writing well is to write when you have a burning desire to do so, and/or an important tip to share
When you have something to share, just share it, because those are the times when you can just forget about SEO and KeyWord optimization for a second and just focus on writing good content…
As I mention in my Increase WebSite Traffic Tips newsletter in the very first email in that eCourse…the #1 best SEO tip/thing to do is to write excellent content, or good enough content that gets noticed and linked to without having to ask for it.
When you write with a passion…when you write with a lot to say and to express, you will find the words just piling up and coming to you.
You may also find out that you actually have a lot more to say that you thought when you first went to publish a new post.
Why is this writing tip important?
Because I said so, that’s why! Just kidding… 
Writing unique, impassioned content pieces will make your content stand out from all others in your niche.
What are most other blogs you see in the internet marketing niche like?
They’re mostly..
- Joeblow released his latest product to day here it is…
- My review on XYZ product, here it is….
- I went to this seminar, here are some pictures
- What going to make you and your blog stand out and be original?
- What’s going to make your content something people will remember you for?
If you have something you want to share, and it’s something you want to get off your chest, then throw it out there and just write…
In today’s ADD generation, it’s especially important that you adopt this writing method/style since you may not find your focus again and may lose the chance to write that piece of content that makes your site different from everyone else’s.
Why did I write this and what is the purpose here, what do I want you to buy?
Nothing to buy, except into the idea that anyone can be a proficient and prolific writer, especially with a blog…
I wrote this because I saw someone perceiving that creating a blog like mine (such as it is.. fake humility there) as an obstacle because they see my content and all the articles and think,
“Ill never have a blog like that with all that content on there!”…
“I’ll never never have enough stuff to write about!”
“I don’t/can’t write that well!”
Since this niche is my passion, I write as the moment hits me or an important announcement needs to be made, or review posted etc…
But this blog only has about 150 posts on here, when means you could have just as much content if you posted twice a day for 75 days, which is 2 1/2 months.
Overcoming mental hurdles about writing and blogging is the first step towards unleashing all the content you have stored up inside you.
Once that comfort zone has been achieved, and you see just how easy it is to post new content, you will become a writer.
NOTE: I’ve FORCED some Marketer’s Relief members and fellow marketing buddies to get blogs going and now they thank me profusely.
I even have some Marketer’s Relief members posting to their blog from work on their lunch breaks now, then again when they get home because in the 7 hours that had lapsed from when they blogged at lunch, their lunch-time blog post got indexed, and their site is now waiting for new content.
Therefore, 75 days is all it takes to “catch up” to me…
2 MORE FINAL BLOGGING AND WRITING TIPS…
I know, I know I should make this into a series of posts, maybe later right now I’m zooming along here and content is flowing so let me wrap this up with 2 final writing tips…
1- Blog with Firefox
Use Firefox when writing to your blog since it has a built-in spell-checker that I don’t see working when I use Internet Explorer. As I have come to find out from using Firefox, my blog posts are unprofessionally replete with typos and thanks to Firefox I realize this now and I will slowly fix these typos as I come across them.
2- Don’t Fix Your Typos As You’re Writing…
The thing that wastes more writers’ time is fixing typos as you are writing. so you write a sentence or two, then go back fix something, another sentence of two, go back and fix etc…
It will take you an hour to write a decent blog post that way, so what you need to do instead is focus on getting what you have to say out of your head and onto “paper” so to speak and most importantly..
DO NOT INTERRUPT THE FLOW…
Don’t stop writing to fix your typos because that interrupts your writing flow, makes it take longer to write what you have to say, and the constant stopping and starting will make your content less unique and less readable because your flow keeps getting broken…
Writing is important and a skill you must learn and anyone that can send an email can have a great blog with great content…
REMEMBER…
I was inspired to write this post due to some feedback I heard from people and if they were experiencing these thoughts then so will others…
THAT means I’m writing about things that my niche is truly concerned about, but doesn’t show up in any Keyword research tools, and it’s why you need to adopt this method of writing.
P.S.
I just noticed this post is well over 1000 words and could have been broken up into 3-5 separate blog posts, but this only took me 30 minutes to write and publish.
So when you write the way I recommend you do, the words will flow. The 30 minutes it took me to write this blog post could translate into 4 blog posts that took 7.5 minutes per post to write…
Leaving you with 22.5 or 52.5 minutes left for your office lunch break

Keep Them Coming
Jonny T
Thanks for the feedback, Johnny
I always fix my typos as I am writing, and that really ruins my train of thought. I have to practice not to edit my work as I go along. Thanks for the tips.
Kai, trust me on this one, ok? Just write it all out, don’t let the flow stop, keep it conversational, then go back and fix anything that’s needed, and use FF since it seems to do a good job of picking up the typos.
Thanks for the comment,
Dan
I agree, you can’t stop your writing when you are in the flow. I just try and bang out what I have on my mind, then when I am done I go back and correct all of the spelling mistakes and fix the grammar errors.
BookBlogger, you know the deal, too eh? Good…
A concept I recently heard about discussed how your content can be TOO good, sometimes, too and will interfere with your selling, so there are downsides to giving away too much and providing content that’s TOO good, but I think most people just need to get over the writing humps first.
I tell ya, once anyone learns how to blog, and realizes that it’s not like XSitePro or Dreamweaver of whatever, where you have to hit the publish button to FTP files to site to get new pages published, then they realize that blogs really do level the playing field as far as stripping down the technical skills needed to put out good content.
And with themes like Thesis coming out, people are now seeing how their sites’ money pages can look like regular html sites when the sidebars are removed…
Thanks for the feedback, and for stopping by, this seems like a popular topic
Dan
@Book Blogger, Giovani,
I used to hate AND suck at blogging, but getting to the comfort level made me, like you….write til cows came home, keep up the good work
Good advice. I use FireFox to blog too, using ScribeFire. Blogging in a browser is so easy because the links you may need are so accessible.
@Chris, Chris, good points.. I mean, you can even blog by email, crazy huh? People tend to forget that Word Press is a CMS (Content Management System) not just a site builder so there’s a lot it can do
Hey, Dan!
Thanks, for a little confirmation on what I do–at least, at the blog on my Ning site. I used to suck at blogging, but there I blog about something I love to write about: The Law Of Attraction!
It’s gotten to the point where I decided to do a new blog on Blogger on the same subject. I just love doing it. It IS optimized (How well is another matter! Hahaha!), but this is after I’ve developed all that confidence. Now, I could write on the subject ’til the cows come home. :O)
I still end up writing posts that are much longer than would seem efficient. But, once I get started, I just want to share what’ll be useful for the reader and fun for me. Like, yesterday and today, I was blogging about POLLYANNA, the movie and the book–and a game that came out early last century! I am simply having a ball, and I want my readers to, also.
Sunshine & Blessings,
Giovani
Dan, this is how I learned to write. So it is affirming to see you spell out the reasons it works so well.
@ Giovani, your enthusiasm just bounces off the screen. I will be checking out your LOA site soon!
@DonnaB,
Nice to get Kudos from fellow writers, especially you
Thanks everyone for the comments and feedback,
Dan
P.s. Hmm… right-click, correct typos, and save
Dan,
Nice theme dude! In this post, you are spot on…I especially like when you wrote “don’t interrupt the flow” and start fixing your mistakes as you type…that is so true.
And heck, we’re all people anyhow…so mistakes are part of the game.
I will be marking this post for my readers.
Joseph Ratliff
@Joseph Ratliff, Hey Joe, thanks for the feedback… some of my writing style is adapted from yours as well
Dan
Hey! These are brilliant tips. I agree that you really dont need to formulate keyword focused articles. Remember to write for the readers and not for the search engines. It is the readers you want to capture right? Once you gave gained considerable amount of traffic, expect high page ranking to follow.
@Chaunna Brooke, thanks for the feedback.. This is my personal experience with it and other writers seems to agree. Hopefully the post inspires people to buckle down and get their passion-niche content out there.
Thanks for stopping by,
Dab
