31 Writing Prompts to Help You Build a Solid Writing Habit

Banish the blank page syndrome forever.

Everybody can write. But you don't call everyone a "writer."

A writer writes because she likes to write. Because it makes him feel sane. Because that's what she loves doing the best.

Putting all of that woo-woo to the side, practice makes a writer out of a nobody. If you think you have it in you to be a writer, you got to prove it to yourself first. And writing intentionally every day is a must-do.

If you want to write daily, you better have some prompts ready. Else by the time you research and also check a bit of Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, you'd have lost a good hour or probably a few hours.

Writing five ideas every single day so you can refer to them when you want to write is good advice. But if everyone followed it, you wouldn't be here. I've tried that too.

If you want to write consistently for a month and don't know what to write, I've got you.

When you see a prolific dancer setting the stage on fire, you can see the effort that has gone into perfecting every move. Similarly, good writing needs practice. It shows in your writing when you have practiced.

Most successful writers swear that writing every day at a specific time at a particular place is key to their success. Well, what if you are not there yet, (neither am I) you can start today.

Many writers in my network often message me asking - How to start a freelance writing career?

Writing and reading are one sure-shot way. Because you got to feed your brain with ideas to generate ideas. Our brain mixes what we know with what we read and creates a unique idea.

Try it. Please tell me if it doesn't work.

To help you beat writer's block, discover your writing strengths and find a profitable market for your writing, I created a short guide. It's 31 Writing Prompts To Help You Build a Solid Writing Habit + 7 mini sections with my best writing tips.

You can instantly download it for less than a cup of joe (for a limited time only) and make a fortune writing.

Each prompt leads to another in a way. And there is a variety of writing topics, from writing about your favorite person to writing a case study.

You'll also have to research some topics, which are good, and use formulas and techniques to write each prompt.

Don't worry, I have included hints and pointers on how you can go about each prompt.

When I finished curating 31 prompts, I couldn't stop there. I also wanted to help in resolving common problems new writers face. So I expanded a bit on it and distill-poured all the knowledge I had gained in my freelancing career.

In Section 1, you have the 31 creative writing exercises. Here's what else you'll find in the guide.

In Section 2, I'll tell you my techniques for finding your product-market fit, a.k.a niche. I have varied interests, but I knew I had to narrow it down to 2–3 topics to keep my sanity. It would be best if you didn't waste time writing generic topics for every other business owner.

Section 3 is all about finding unlimited writing prompts for your chosen niche. I will take a bet it will surprise you at how soon you can come up with 100 topics in 15 minutes of research.

Section 4 talks to you about Swipe Files and why you must have one if you don't have one yet. I have at least ten swipe files - One for the headings, one for power words, another for great emails, and so on. It's been a time saver for me, and so will it for you.

In Section 5, I give you the juiciest tips on structuring and editing your article, along with a list of free editing tools. You can improve your article just by following this short section.

If headlines are a bane, then Section 6 is about crafting that click-worthy headline. There is a formula for it and many free tools to generate headlines and rate their click potential.

In Sections 7 and 8, I have shared places where you can publish and market your articles for free. Unless you market yourself, there's no way readers will discover you. So getting more eyeballs is crucial. Your writing doesn't have to serve everyone. But just a handful of them. So I'll tell you how to find them.

This short e-book is as good as a book on - How to start your freelancing career?

I wanted to help as many new writers to get started in freelance writing because - It's easy to break into. And there is loads of cash waiting to be made and lives transformed.

You don't have to binge-watch hundreds of videos on how to become a freelancer. It'll do you more good if you write today, tomorrow, and every day after that.

If you've been putting off writing every day (and going in circles of guilt trips), then this is the sign you've been waiting for.
