Virtually all serious writers know it’s not easy to consistently come up with new write-ups that their target audience will appreciate.

And that’s why many are constantly on the lookout for ideas to overcome or minimise the above mentioned challenge.

I Am No Exception.

I’ve also experienced the challenge of struggling to generate new content that would be considered valuable by potential clients/customers and readers in general.

For years I drew inspiration from happenings around me, to come up with new content for my work.

Sometimes I came up empty. On such occasions, I would really struggle to get my writing done.

It’s a testament to the passion I have for what I do, that I kept going for so long.

So much so, that I eventually began reaping financially rewarding benefits as a result of my writing e.g via sales leads for my feed formulation software/handbook, direct sales of my print/electronic books from my online store etc.

Today, I No Longer Struggle To Write Like I Used To

Something has changed – and for the better too.

Ever since I began following a publishing schedule (based on 6 different categories, at one per day) on my blog, everything has simply fallen in place.

I now have an amazing degree of clarity about what to write about. It’s so much easier to narrow down to potential topics when the categories have been defined.

In addition, I am able to do the actual writing quickly and almost effortlessly because I would often have spent time thinking up useful points to go with my chosen topic before it falls due.

Most importantly, writing according to a schedule has enabled me progressively build up my library of written works based on the set categories.

This now gives me added motivation to write more, since I plan to periodically publish ebooks for sale on each category using a compilation of selected write-ups. Each write-up will probably be treated as a chapter in the ebook.

I know from past experience that this works, having used the same strategy to get my 25 Articles Ebook published.

Final Words

What I’m saying in essence is that writing based on a publishing schedule will get you to be more committed to your writing responsibilities.

It will also make you more consistent in producing good quality content over time.

Considering that less than 3 months ago, I did not believe in using a schedule, what I’ve said here should be worthy of consideration by any writer in search of viable ways to boost her writing productivity.
