33 Minutes 33 Seconds
by Adomas 12 months ago on November 25, 2007 - Commentary (2) - Filed under - Marketing - RSSA very famous copywriter by the name of Eugene Schwartz had a system. He sat down for 33 minutes and 33 seconds for his writing time. He wouldn’t do anything but write. It was a set space.
He would set a timer, and that was his job – he was there to write.
He wouldn’t necessarily just write something down. He could be sitting there sipping on his coffee, but he knew this was his time to write.
Having a time to write is very important for the creative process to move along. Dan Gordon, who wrote the screenplay for “Hurricane” that starred Denzel Washington taught to have a space that you write in.
Have the same space, the same time of day, and have a really good chair to sit in. These are your tools as a writer. Pens don’t cost very much. Now, we do it on computers. Get a comfortable chair; you need to be comfortable. Give yourself some comfort because you are going to be in that chair for quite a while.
This is your job — to write.
Even if it is a temporary job, it is your job and you should treat it like that. If you sit down at the same time every day and discipline yourself to do that, God bless you.
Some internet marketers/copywriters get up at 3 a.m. every morning and writes until 6 or 7 a.m. Then, they take the kids to school or whatever and does some other things. Every morning from 3 a.m. to 7 a.m., they write.
Why I say that?
Well it’s because I noticed that for some time I’ve been doing kind of something like that. I do it without timer, although I think to implement it, but it sure makes things a lot easier and more efficient.
I’ve been doing it for 3 days now, but I am going to continue this kind of marketing for another 28 days. Writing 3 articles a day on one niche is pretty hard pretty hard thing to do, knowing that English is my second language, but with time it’s getting easier and easier.
So this is it. For the next 28 days I’ll be completing method laid out in Affiliate Project X book — write 3 articles per day for one month and post them on different article directories.

Glad you mentioned about writing in second language, i read some interesting article about it here http://ialja.blogspot.com/2007/10/musings-on-importance-of-speaking.html some time ago.
I think your english is really good. Did you study abroad? Or what was your aproach to learn it? What do you think about importance of good knowledge of english in internet marketing?
Nah, I did not. But thanks to the new age technologies and a magic of spell-checker I look a little bit better than I truly am. 
I was very concerned about my writing skills few months ago, but the more I read about marketing and copywriting itself I start to believe that it’s not that important. I mean you still have to know basic English, but that is all.
Of course, I’m not the one to ask about the importance of English in todays internet marketing, but at least I think that it’s not that important as you and I think it is.
