e-Business-Formula Internet Marketing Discussion Forum

It’s true that almost all of us can write but not all of us can write well. And it’s also true that some people simply have a talent for crafting sentences and stories, while others struggle just to string together a few words that flow.

If you struggle to write well, there is no way that you’ll ever absorb the talent it takes to be one of the best writers on the Internet. But there are three things that you can learn that will help you become a better writer that can produce writing faster than before.

The three keys to writing better articles, blogs, eBooks, or anything else are to keep a journal, to write at the same time everyday, and to follow a proven formula.

[b]Keeping a Journal[/b]

The results of keeping a journal will probably amaze you after only a couple months. Not only will it make you a better writer but it will also make you a happier person. But we’ll worry about the happier sometime later, for now all we care about is the journaling making you a better writer.

There’s one thing that’s certain about writing: the more you do it the better you become at it. You don’t need anyone correcting what you’ve written either. All you need to do is write everyday so you develop a solid style and voice.

When you keep a journal you can write about anything you want – the
way your day went, what’s happening with your family, what’s going on with your work life, etc. The key is to simply write.

If you have a lot of writing for your business – articles, blogs, eBooks,
etc. – then you can skip the journaling writing for that day. Remember, the important thing is that you write everyday whether it’s in your journal or for your business.

[b]Write at the Same Time Everyday[/b]

Now that you know that you need to write everyday, you should also know that it’s best to write around the same time everyday. This actually trains your brain to get into the mode of writing.

Authors refer to this as “capturing the muse”. They have come to realize that if they write at the same time then they will be inspired to write. The “muse” will bring them the inspiration to write well.

Most likely you don’t need great inspiration to write but you do need some inspiration. So write at the same time everyday and you’ll find that your mind gets trained and helps you write what you need to write.

[b]Follow a Proven Formula[/b]

If you have a talent for writing, you probably don’t follow a set formula. In fact, you might even be opposed to formulas. But for the rest of us, formulas are a good thing as long as they don’t completely handcuff our creativity.

The basic form that you have to remember for any article is to have an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.

The introduction will introduce what will be discussed. The body will discuss everything as promised. The conclusion will restate the introduction (in a different way) while telling the reader what they just read.

To take it a step further, you should include three main points in the body of your article. This is similar to the “Three Prong Thesis” that you may have learned in school. It’s exactly what I’ve done with this article.

[b]What You’ve Learned[/b]

As I just mentioned, by following the formula I just outlined, I’ll now review what this article was about.

If you need to become a better writer, there are three things you should be doing. These three things are keeping a journal, writing at the same time everyday, and following a formula.

Follow these three things and you’ll be writing faster and better in no time.
