Is writing hard or easy!?
Hi
Writing is a skill that can be learned. You have already been given great advice about the mechanics of writing in this thread and there are many other books and sites on the topic. The important thing is, actually, to know what are you going to write about. They say preparation is 84% of writing, which means exploring, reading about the theme, conversing, tracking it on TV and Internet and so on. Writing is always the second part, the first part is what you put into your brain to digest and eschew upon.
If you find writing hard, that's because you didn't deposit anything into that particular bank compartment. If it's hard, go back to the preparation phase, read and learn more about the topic and then return.
There are two main approaches. Either you will be the writer that happens to be published through a web site because it is more convenient, or you will engage others to write for you, where you actually take on the roll of a publisher. The example of the former is StevePavlina.com, where he writes practically all the time (7-800 longish articles for four years by now), generates a million or more views per month and makes 50 or even more grand MONTHLY in the process. The example of the latter would be all those anonymous AdSense sites, with 10-20 articles per site, making $100 per month... which can also be a viable business model.
If you are a site publisher, you then share the same ideal with any ordinary book publisher: create an edition devoted to a larger topic, fill it with books on more specific topics, do so 50 or 100 times, pay authors as little as you can get away with, and as soon as you find enough money and time, branch into another broad niche topic. When branching to a different topic, book editors would invariably engage an editor, a specialized person to organize the entire process throughout the niche. (Site publishers have no that kind of idea in their heads, which effectively proihibits them from getting rich.)
So, read and learn before you write and then everything will fall in place.
