Recently I was sorting through results of my reader survey. I asked the question, What is your biggest marketing challenge? The answer came back loud and clear: I am overwhelmed by all the writing I have to do.

Lets face it. Internet marketing means writing. And whether youre writing a sales letter, web page, article or information product, you struggle to find time to write. When you finally get a few moments, the phone rings, the dog demands to go out or a friend shows up with a crisis.

Here are 5 steps to end overwhelm and accomplish your Internet marketing goals.

1. Notice if you have room in your schedule for every aspect of Internet marketing except writing.

My friend Ken absolutely hates to write. Ken shows up on time for every obligation - unless he has to write. Hes extreme: he wont even write a one-paragraph e-mail message without experiencing pain and agony.

If you fit this pattern, take a look at your business model. Typically you can find a way to reach success without forcing yourself to do something you resent.

We cant deny the truth: Writing dis the key to Internet marketing. But often you can avoid tapping at your own word processor to reach your goals. You can hire writers and editors. You can choose a business where face to face networking gets rewarded.

2. Lose the myth, Good writing takes time.

Think of each piece of writing as an email you are writing to a good friend. Combine two or three short emails to make up a single article. Combine a dozen emails and youre well on the way to writing an ebook.

Heres the system:

As you get time during the day, dash off an email to yourself. Dont edit your words yet - just put ideas on paper.

When youre in a good mood, arm yourself with your favorite beverage. A piece of chocolate is okay, too, if youre not allergic. A cat in your lap will discourage frequent breaks. Turn on your favorite music.
