Hi,

If you want to make it on the Internet you need copywriting skills, right?

Well, I am terrible.

I have tried in different ways.

But every time it's the same problem... I sit down in front of the PC to write and writer's block sets in.

I am so used to copying text from other people and expressing them in another language (as a translator that's what I do) that I felt I couldn't create anything new, something I could call my own... and then, 2 things happened:

1) I found copywriting.com, which has helped me a lot with useful tips (thanks Miguel)

2) I read a recent blog entry by Joe Vitale about how he (master copywriter, by the way) sometimes has nothing to say and then ends up saying a lot, and even brilliant things. (Click here to see the blog entry)

I decided to follow his advice, and out of nothing to say, this came out.

If anybody can think of other strategies to improve my writing, please let me know... will ya? smile.gif

Best regards,

Jennifer
