Copywriting has become a multimillion dollar business... People get paid HUGE amounts just to say the right words - the words that will hopefully take you out of your current state, and ask you to do something else, something you may not have thought you wanted or needed!
Therefore, even in your own small business, particular attention and thought has to go into your 'copy'. Sitting down to write - whether it be a blog post, novel, report, ebook, etc. - is often a HUGE challenge. In addition, what if you don't have the money to spend on a fantastic copywriter, nor all day to come up with one sentence, only to scratch it and start all over??
We all know the term 'writers block', but how many times have you sat with pen and paper and found yourself staring at a blank piece of paper for hours??
Those days are OVER!
If you are work obsessed like I am, then you find yourself walking away from the computer, and thinking about your work. Peeling vegetables, changing the diapers, taking kids to the doctor - doing all the motions, while your mind is still tapping away at whatever work was left behind or is yet to be taken care of.
Then the strangest thing began to happen... when I would finally be able to sit down to complete a task or even begin a new one, my hands would fly on the keyboard, words and sentences flowing...
The deal is this: You allow your subconscious to do the work for you. Lets say that again and LOUDER :
YOU ALLOW YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS TO DO THE WRITING FOR YOU!!!
Writing should actually be the smallest part of the work of creating COPY. If you went for a jog, took your dog for a walk, or even a shower.... this is the time you should be 'writing' the material.
Now if you think this is familiar since you heard Joe Vitale, Man of Fire himself, say it... know that I was doing it before HE said it, and he just validated it for me. Yes the man is a copy Pro and you can be certain to learn from anything he has to share.
So next time you feel guilty walking away from your computer... realize that you may be getting a lot more work done!
