Will Power Is Your Best Friend in Internet Marketing

Here is something I wrote to motivate myself to produce content on daily basis in order to take my Internet business to a much higher level. All others might find it useful. Hope it helps a few individuals.


I will write articles daily. Will power is my friend which will help me. I have to really force myself to do it. It is important for my business. If I write more and if I write well, I can sell more products. If I sell more products, then I can make more money. More money is what all businessmen are after, is it not? So, don't I have to force myself to write more articles?

I am involved in online marketing and so I should realize the importance of creating high quality, useful content on regular basis. I have to create content on massive scale. Keep on creating more and more content. Provide awesome value to my readers. Keep them begging for more.

All bloggers and internet marketers are in the manufacturing business. We need to manufacture lots and lots of content for our readers. Just like a factory mass produces thousands and thousands of items for sale and distribution, we need to produce hundreds or thousands of articles for distribution. Distribution can mean posting the articles on our websites, blogs or on other people's sites in order to increase exposure and attract traffic to us. Again, other people's sites may mean many things - article directories, guest blogging, web 2.0 sites, forums, yahoo answers, video sites. Basically, it means any site where we can put our content and attract some traffic from there to our own sites or products.

Think of yourself as a factory or as a machine. Your machine produces content just as some other machine produces something else.

Notice that I am saying we need to produce content. I am not merely saying we need to write articles. Because in today's high-tech world, content can come in several forms. It can be an audio, a video, powerpoint presentation, quiz, quotes and more. It need not always be a written article. But written content is still one of the most powerful method of presenting information even in today's world. It has not lost its place.

If we produce mass content, 2 things are going to happen - first of all people will love us. We are continuously providing them valuable tips and information on topics of their choice. They will flock to our sites and recommend them to their friends. Secondly, Google will love your sites too. It will love you because it is hungry for more information.

We all have appetites. When we feel hungry, we need to eat something to satisfy that hunger. Google's hunger is not satisfied with food but with content - lots of it. Its hunger is not like ours which can be easily and quickly satisfied. Google has an unending hunger for as much content as you can provide it. It will gobble it all up and still be very hungry. Though you cannot fully satisfy Google's hunger, but you can make it keep coming to you as you feed it with original content.

The more original your content is, the more useful it is for readers, and the more you can provide it that much more Google love you can get. You will stand out and get more attention because you have the ability to produce Google's food more than other manufacturers.

But how can you have the stamina to keep on producing quality content at such rate? The simple answer is - use your will power. It is one of your greatest asset. Learn to use it.

Will power can help you maintain your focus. It will help you in working towards your vision and achieving your goals. It will help you sit down and write, when the day is bright and sun is shining in all its glory outside. It will help you write, when you are in a foul mood and had just quarreled with your wife.

Like any muscle of the body, will power grows stronger when you use it. Just like muscles of the body become strong when you work them out or lift weight, so is the case with will power. If you use it, it will continue to become stronger; otherwise it will remain weak.

Do you think you have weak will power? Worry not, we all have a small switch inside our bodies. Lets call it the 'Will Power Switch'. You just need to turn it on and as a bulb glows when you turn on the switch, you will find your will power suddenly dictating terms to you.

However, initially, its impact will be small and weak. Like a faulty bulb which does not glow brightly, so will be your will power. But with repeated use, it will grow - unlike the bulb which will become dim with repeated use.
