I set a goal for reach day. I make a simple spreadsheet, list Monday through Friday, and list the article topics under each day.

Write About Topics You Enjoy

Nothing is more motivating then reading and writing about something your are interest in and know a lot about. I find it especially helpful to write about topics I enjoy when I really do not feel like writing. I always start the day off writing an article that makes me happy. It is motivating and gets me keyed up to reach my goal for the day. Writing is like exercising. You need to write something you enjoy being able to consistently meet your daily goals. You are the only person who can motivate you, so treat yourself to a topic you love.

If you read any of my articles for Associated Content you will see a lot of them have to do with arts and crafts. I love art and I love making art. After I have written my first article of the day I am chomping at the bit to make something new. New art projects require money. Immediately I am motivated to write more articles for Associated Content so that I can buy more art supplies!

Set a Work Schedule

Ok, so I have read this suggestion before somewhere in the Associated Content forums. I have also read this simple tip on many websites where people chat about working freelance from home. It is the best advise you can follow if you want to make a living or specific goal writing for Associated Content.

I work Monday through Friday. I set my hours during the day to match my family. This way when they are free to have some fun so am I. The two days off gives my brain time to rest and I am ready to go again on Monday.

Stick to the Schedule and Goal

This means if you say you will write 5 articles for Associated Content a day, that you do it no matter what. I cannot stress this enough. If you are serious about making a descent amount of money writing for Associated Content, then you have to establish your goals and follow through.

Never Break Your Writing Stride

One of the best tips I can give anyone is to break down the web writing process into steps.

Here are the steps I follow when writing for Associated Content:

1. Write my entire set of articles for the day. (Do not proof, do not check, just write)
2. Go through and spell check all articles in a row.
3. Go through and proof read each article in a row.
4. Go through and submit all of my articles in a row.

Completing one task multiple times will decrease the time in which these tasks take. If it worked for the industrial age you should not be surprised if it works for you. I am not giving you tips on how to write the next life altering novel. I am simply telling you how to accomplish a goal of writing and making a living with Associated Content.

Tip:

If you find yourself lagging behind, feeling lazy, or suffering from that numb brain thing that can happen then make yourself sit down and outline your articles. Outlining your article is so much faster than the actual writing. You are still getting some work completed. When you finally start to work on your web article then you will be amazed at how quickly you breeze through them.

I really do hope these steps and goals help anyone serious about trying to make a living writing or a specific financial goal for Associate content or any web site. If you really mean to accomplish this goal these steps will help you.

I know this article has gotten rather long, but I do have one final tip. If you are suffering from writer's block, then try writing like you talk. For me, I can talk endlessly, so writing like I talk really produces an endless number of web articles.
