Writing Content Can Be Like Pulling Teeth

One of the biggest challenges for me in internet marketing has been working in niches that I'm not personally interested in. What do I care about convection microwaves or stainless steel frying pans or whatever? Creating content for niches I'm not interested in is a quick way to get bored and harm your momentum, and harm your quality of life.

One way to get around this is to write about topics that you have a real interest in. I'm interested in fitness and working out, so I can shoot off articles and blog posts in that niche very quickly and easily. I'm very well-travelled, so I can spit out short travel destination guides in just a few minutes. Life is so much easier when you can write content about a topic that you love.

But is it always practical to write about things you love? No, of course not. The main objective of your business is to make money, and your passions are not always profitable. So choose niches that are profitable. But rather than torture yourself by writing all the dull content, outsource it. You can commission articles from writers through the marketplace sections of Warrior Forum, Digital Point, Wickedfire and other internet marketing forums. You can also try outsourcing sites like Elance.com. You can order however many articles you need through freelancers on those sites, or if you need an ongoing stream of content you can even hire your own regular part time or full time employee. If you do this, the key is to hire somebody in a country such as India or the Philippines where the average salary is low compared to your own country. That way you can pay someone a good living wage even if your business is still small. Outsourcing is the way to scale your business. Get others to do the work you can't or don't want to do, and focus on other things to build your business.

Life is too short to torture yourself by writing about topics you find boring. It's a surefire way to put you in a bad mood and turn you off of internet marketing. Keep yourself engaged so you can work most efficiently.
