If you're not a great writer but still want to succeed on the internet, what can you do?

Admittedly, some of the best webmasters on the internet don't write very well at all.  But they have found ways to get around it.   And you should consider doing the same.

A good place to start is to trade services.  Maybe you have something to offer that someone else needs.  This is something that really happens quite often on the internet.

Start by posting a brief description of your problem in one of the forums or discussion groups. Then tell what you have to offer in trade.  It's best if you target your problem to a specific forum or discussion group that deals with that type of problem (writing).  But sometimes help will come from what seems to be an unlikely source as well.  So it wouldn't hurt to ask in the forums or discussion groups where you usually participate.

Another place to go for help is a web site that allows you to put your project out to "bid".  Go to http://www.elance.com/  After putting your project up for bid, then you can sort through the bids and pick and choose.

Of course, there are many other places to go for writing help as well, such as:

Finding Time To Write When You Have Kids

by Heidi Ross

Have you often told yourself that you don't have time to write because you have kids? Have you often thought how can I possibly be a writer, I have kids, housework to do and so on? Well even though you are a housewife and mother you can still find time to write. When?

When the kids are taking a bath let them play in the tub awhile and you can use that time to write. Now you wonder "But my kids are small they need supervised." Take your pen and paper into the bathroom and while the kids are playing in the tub sit down wherever you can and write, even if you only get a few paragraphs written that's a few more paragraphs than you had before.

If you get up earlier then the kids do or go to bed later than the kids do use that quiet time to do some writing. Now you are probably asking but when will I do the housework, I usually doing it while they are sleeping. You can do the housework during the day when the kids are playing.

If you have small kids and you need to supervise them outside, take pen and paper with you and write.

While the kids are doing their homework you can use this time to write. If the kids need help with the homework use that time for a break and help your kids.

If the kids are watching TV after school or in the evenings use the time to write.

If all of your kids are in school, write during the day while they are in school and do your housework in the evenings. Also you could do your housework in the mornings right after they leave for school and use the rest of the day to write.

There are no set rules as to when you have to write and when you can't. The above are just suggestions and show you that you can find time to write if you want it bad enough. Different people find different times more effective for them than other times. Find when your best time is to write is and use it to your advantage. Find out under what circumstancesyou can write and when you can't. Some are o.k. writing while the kids are running around the house playing and being noisy and some people need total silence. Some may need some noise but not too much, sort of in between total silence and the kids running around being noisy, for them to be able to write. Find out what works best for you and rearrange your writing schedule so that it is to your advantage. Make sure you find that time to write. Go Back
