From my experience in Bubblews, a social blogging network that pays (well, that was before), I understand that creating content is important to earn a good income. I know I would fail at interaction, so I tried to make up by writing more posts. I can say I reached that goal with flying colors because I have become a fast writer.
Experience Speaks
This is not bragging, but I can write a post in one swoop, almost without making any edits. This amazed me and made me realize that my extensive experience in Hubpages and CloudCrowd paid off. Experience really speaks, but it doesn’t mean writing is reserved for the experienced.

Just Do It
So how is it possible to write really fast and make a lot of posts in a day? The answer is just do it, as Nike says! Don't wait for inspiration to come. Force yourself to write. This way, your system is hardwired to be able to write easily when ideas come to you. Once writing has become a habit, it will become second nature to you that you wouldn’t even think about it. Thoughts just flow freely from your mind to your notebook.
Get Started
As you begin to develop your writing skill, you will encounter a lot of pressure preventing you from actually sitting down and start writing. It is necessary that you overcome this force because getting started is really the most difficult part of learning a new thing. Once you get the ball rolling, keeping it moving would require only a little effort. At that point you will only need one idea to get started and then expound on that single idea to craft a helpful, interesting post to share with Internet users the world over.

Writing under Pressure
My experience in writing at ClowdCrowd made me a better writer than I was before. Too bad, ClowdCrowd was bought by CrowdSource, and I missed the boat when it left. While in ClowdCrowd, I didn’t have a luxury of time to finish a piece of writing. For an article containing 500 words, I had to turn in the article after two hours or else sorry. This experience shows that working under pressure and forcing your brain to think will help you obtain the skill much faster than writing leisurely. Of course, you need to get back to the basics to actually begin real writing.
Advice to Aspiring Writers
So if you want to become a writer, set a schedule for writing, sit down, really start writing, and don't give up. Just write. Don't do any other thing. Whatever bits of idea pop up, just write them down until you reach your desired number of words or characters or when you feel satisfied. Don’t try to write a splendid article on the first sitting. Just let the ideas flow freely and get back a few times later to polish your writing until you feel your work is ready for publication.
