I hear this complaint all the time. “Nobody reads my articles.” Well, did you ever think that maybe one of the reasons why nobody reads your articles is because there is no heart in them? Be honest. Are you writing about something that you’re truly passionate about, or are you writing just to make a buck? If it’s the latter, sometimes, unless you’re REALLY good, people see right through it. So unless you can write from the heart, you’re going to run into the same problem over and over again.

Okay, I know what you’re going to say. “But I can only write about what people ask me to write about.” I am assuming of course that you write articles for other people for a living. Well, okay. That’s a fair point. After all, if you’re interested in music but everybody comes to you to write articles about spyware removal, it’s pretty hard to get pumped up about that. So what do you do? Well, you have two choices.

Choice number one, and granted it’s not much of a choice, is to turn down the job. Hey, who says you have to take on every job that comes your way? I turned down lots of jobs when I used to freelance because I didn’t want to write on the subject. Naturally, if you’re not getting many jobs that you like, or at all, you can only be so picky. Most people just starting out can’t be picky at all. So that brings us to choice number two.

Get passionate about whatever it is you’re writing about. Make it a game. See if you can research the heck out of the subject and become a true authority on it. Impress your friends and family with your newfound knowledge. I used to love saying to my wife, at the end of a long day of writing, “Hey did you know that…” and give her some oddball fact about something. It made me feel so smart. If you can’t motivate yourself for the client, find another way. Showing off for my wife did it for me.

Point is, if you don’t write from your heart, your articles are going to sound boring and lifeless. People are going to get half way through them and wish they were someplace else. Can you blame them? Think about it. The last thing YOU want to do is write the darn article in the first place. So why should anybody want to read it? I sure wouldn’t. And I doubt many others would feel the same way.

And if nobody is reading the articles you’re writing for others OR yourself, you’re going to stop getting customers and if you DO write for yourself in order to get traffic to your site or whatever, you’re going to stop getting visitors as well. Everything will suffer.

You have a heart. Use it!

To YOUR Success,
