How are your Writing Skills?

One of the issues I have struggled with during my venture into Internet Marketing is writing.  A lot of Internet Marketing involves writing - creating information products, article marketing, blog posts, auto-responder text, etc.  And I have had a major case of writer’s block for several years now.  As a child, I loved to write.  I used to write short stories and poetry.  I even started a novel in 6th grade, and wrote the first 6 chapters!  But sometime during high school and college, the joy of writing seemed to leave me - I think because I had to write in a very dry way about boring topics.  So, here I am, venturing into a new (hope-to-be) career that involves tons of writing.  Ugh!

So, I have been looking for resources to help me with this.  I have recently purchased a few eBooks that I hope to help me.  Once I work my way through, I will post a review for each of them.  The guide I am working through right now is pretty good so far.  It is written by Jimmy D. Brown, titled "31 Day Guide to Article Marketing."  In this guide, Jimmy teaches you how to write articles for your online business, including how to write your byline, or resource box (particularly a good call to action).  I am only on Day 3 so far, but I wanted to let people know about it because it is part of Jimmy D. Brown’s List & Traffic membership site, and Part 1 is only available until August 30, 2009.  Part 2 is September’s offering.  The List & Traffic membership is only $10 per month, and offers a new comprehensive how-to guide each month.  If writing articles has you stumped, try out this membership for at least the next 2 months (to get both parts of the guide), and see what it can do for you.  Of course, the guide is only useful if you are willing to put what you learn to work, but if you are willing to do the work, and are having the same struggles as I am, I think this could help move you forward.

I will be adding links to my articles once I get them written and out on the web, so you can watch my progress.  Feel free to leave feedback and questions below.
