Let’s face it while many of us know that article marketing is a tried and true way to make money online it’s not the sexiest method on the planet. What do you do when you have to sit down and write when you don’t feel like it?

It helps to have the right frame of mind when it comes to setting the stage for effective article writing. In order to achieve a state of mind that can help you think positively about writing, you might want to ask yourself some questions.

How will writing articles today enhance my business? Will writing articles today bring me closer to my goal financially? If I don’t write any articles today, how will that negatively impact my business? Would I rather write articles to support my family or work 9 – 5 in some dead end job for the next 30 – 40 years and continue struggling to pay my bills?

Answering those questions shouldn’t take you more than a couple of minutes and may help you to get your head together quickly.

Another thing you can do is make sure that the area you’re working is clear. There’s nothing more irritating than having other stuff competing for your attention in your workspace. Don’t make your mind work harder than it has to.

Something I’ve found very important to do is to write down any new ideas as quickly as they come. You don’t necessarily have to post the content immediately, you can go to Google  docs or notepad and get the idea out while it’s fresh. I’ve found that whenever I’ve tried to hold my thoughts until I”m ready to write, I usually can’t remember all the ideas that were racing through my mind as they were happening.

If you have to, put up pictures or play music that helps you to get into an easy state that allows your thoughts to flow.

Most importantly of all, you have to keep at it. Don’t worry about writing the next great literary masterpiece. Just write, write and write some more and you’ll soon find that you can condition yourself to write an effective article in almost any circumstance on just about anything.

You’ve just finished putting the finishing touches on your latest ebook or free report and it’s all set and ready to go, but…

Maybe you’ve just finished reading an interesting post on a forum and while you know how you want to respond in your mind, the minute you get to actually typing out your response… your mind draws a blank.

Perhaps you had an idea for a really interesting blog post and just as you begin to start typing it out… poof!

All of sudden what you wanted to say “magically disappears”.

Has this ever happened to you?

Fear not it happens to every one at some point in time. The problem is not that you don’t have a good idea or a good product, the problem rests with…

Overthinking.

We may feel that although we have a good idea for a blog post or product somehow it could still be better. After all, you always here people complaining about the lack of quality products online or someone makes a negative comment about someone’s idea.

The fear of rejection and disapproval cause us not to ‘give it a shot’. However how will you know if the shot will go in, if you don’t take it?

Overthinking can cause you to go from a state of confidence and resolve to fear and tentative action. It’s amazing how easily we can talk ourselves out of taking action even though we may have had a moment of clarity and decided to go for it.

Don’t talk yourself out of success. There are many products online that could be better, but the one or two suggestions that you did get could be the catalyst to bigger profits. So was it a total waste? No.

The biggest obstacle to success online or anywhere else is what we think and how we respond to what we think.

To your success,
