Information, much of it in the form of written content, is what drives the Internet. As a result, article writing is extremely important to Internet entrepreneurs who wish to succeed. But sometimes circumstances arise when the articles just aren’t coming.
Writer’s block happens to the best of us. I have cases of it all the time. I’ll be sitting at my keyboard, staring into a blank screen, just hoping that a decent thought will jump into my head and I can start typing again. One minute goes by, then two, then ten, and nothing happens. Drat!

Writing articles is a great way to market your online business, because it puts you in the position of being able to establish yourself as an expert in your field. The challenge, of course, is that not everyone feels comfortable with the idea of sitting down and writing articles. That’s where article ghostwriters come into play.
Ghost writing is a well-established tradition in which non-writers, such as yourself, can hire someone else who will do the actual article writing, while you are able to take the personal credit as the author of the article. That’s right: with ghost writing, you pay someone else not only for writing articles, but also for all rights to those articles. As a result, you are able to make any necessary changes and to publish the article with your own bylines and contact information, attached to the article.

Ready to write an article? You even made the big step of scheduling time to do it. So here it is, and you’re sitting at your desk, staring blankly at the screen. Just like you’ve been doing for the last two weeks.
And still no article. Despite the fact it was supposed to go out 10 days ago. Ugh.
Those weirdos who can send out an article every week. Or even more strange, those newspaper columnists that write every single day. They must be from another planet.

Whether you write longhand or use a word processor, a time will come when the words won’t come. The empty page gapes before you, a vast expanse of space that seems impossible to fill. Your mind seems thick and heavy, and yet your thoughts are racing: I can’t do this any more. I used up all the words, every last one. And the most maddening thing about writers block is that once upon a time you could fill up the page and it was easy.

Welcome to the zany ideas of a productive writer. My students keep reminding me of my unusual tools and how helpful they have been for them. I also thank my students for their concept testing and refinement. Now, I feel much more confident about sending them out into the world.
For the next few minutes let your imagination run amuck. Okay, amuck is a little too far out there, so what about allowing an open mind for the time being. Afterwards, you can let your mind ruminate.

Remember, your best writing already is “in” you.
Let’s talk about how to put those thoughts on paper. First, take time to discover what inspires you:

For some, writing is a hobby, a stress reliever, or an escape from reality. They do it because we love it, but do not necessarily view it as a potential career move. If your goal, however, is to publish, taking time to develop a tool that will enable you to market and promote your writing is essential to success.
Editors and publishers do attend writers’ conferences, seminars and workshops as both presenters and panel members, or to participate in forums in which they review and analyze written work—making recommendations for improvement. You, the writing artist, are in the spotlight and must be prepared to “show your best stuff” at a moments notice.
