Fight through the Blog Fog

Funk the content

We all get blog fog from time to time and hate to write content. Don’t worry about it, it is a natural thing.

If you are in a funk shut down the computer and go do something else…you will be surprised at where your inspiration will come from. Watch TV, read a book, read a newspaper…whatever…just say ‘Funk the content!’

If nothing is working do not be tempted by the darkside…by that I mean using pre-written content.

I was in the process of writing a review on new affiliate management site but got side-tracked when I saw that they had free downloads of pre-written content for a blog just like mine. I downloaded the zip file and read a couple of articles.

First off, the articles were junk and second of all, I checked a couple of them online and sure enough a bunch of bloggers are using them.

Don’t do that. First and foremost you ruin your credibility as someone will notice. Secondly you will take a big bitch slapping from the search engines. Google will drop you like a hot potato (Al Gore if you are reading this note the missing ‘e’)

If your funk is so low that you need to copy content then you should take a break and not write anything at all. Another option is to review the content and show why you agree or disagree with it or rewrite the entire content with your slant on it.

So my question is ‘Am I a hypocrite for copying this picture from Google Images?’
