7 Ways to Motivate Yourself to Write

Some days (or weeks…or months) the last thing you want to do is write.

Words don’t come easily, ideas get stuck in your head, and nothing sounds right. You’d rather pluck out your beautiful little eyeballs with a hairpin than try to bang out one more blog post.

I get it.

BUT…

Writing is how we DO THINGS in online marketing. From emails to sales pages to website copy, your words keep your business running.

I discovered this genius nugget when I read the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad — which is kind of a beginner’s guide to money management.

How to write (way) better blog posts: the Big Eyes Brainstorm

If you’ve been putting out content for a while, you know that it is not easy to show up every single week and turn out fresh, high-quality stuff.

It’s actually really tough to bring your A-game every week and keep putting out great content.

You get tired. You get bored. You think you’ve said it all and there’s nothing new under the sun.

Today, I have a little trick to share with you that I discovered accidentally, that has been helping me create much better content. (And kept me from publicly embarrassing myself.)

I call it the Big Eyes Brainstorm and it challenges you to bring more to the table and pushes you to dig deep for good content, while showing that you’re capable of so much more than you think.

The 30-Second Hack for More Conversational Copy

Conversational copy.

It’s a buzzphrase that’s thrown around a lot right now in the online marketing world. But it’s so much more than buzzy.

Writing conversational copy and un-learning the formal writing rules we learned in school takes practice.

Let’s start with the easiest, baby-est step you can take. Grab my hand, little love bug…you can do this. 🙂

It’s a super simple trick (won’t take more than 30 seconds) to transform your stiff, formal copy into warm, sounds-like-a-friend words.
