Content, is it really that important
There are many challenges faced by internet marketing newbies.
The lack of content, the lack of mentors, the lack of strategies, the lack of techie knowledge.
The list simply just continues off into the horizon.
After teaching so many batches of the Internet Marketing Academy, one common challenge faced would be the lack of content.
Too many a times, even though I bring them to free content places, i.e. Article Directories, public domain areas, they would still cry lack of content.
It’s not anyone’s fault. Take me for instance. My websites that doesn’t use a single of my content, I would not say out loud that it belongs to me, cos there’s really nothing to be proud of. Whereas for my RisingIMStar.com, I can proudly say that this belongs to me and I’ve made several thousands since I launched this site end of last year. 
You see, even though I may not be a content generator, I didn’t let this be my stumbling block, but instead I acknowledge that I simply cannot generate content on the fly, and therefore I concentrated on getting content from other sources. You see, I focus on the outcome, not on the problem! Heehhehe…. POE taught me this! FOCUS ON THE OUTCOME!
In anycase, I know I’ve several IMA participants who do read my blog. So here’s an advise. Whenever there are challenges, and trust me, there will ALWAYS be challenges. Let these challenges be your stepping stone to greater heights! Whooooooosh!
Cheers,

Yes, I agree that content development can be a stumbling block. Initially, I was very bothered by that since as a long time amateur blogger, I only post things that I write, and when I post other people’s things, it’s only because of lyrics.
I guess it is difficult for those people because they were not even bloggers to start with. Many people do freeze when they have to write something.
I’ve just bought PLR and realised that I should have done this long time ago. All I need to do is to use the articles as research, rewrite the content and add in my two cents’ worth. I’m still happy that I have made it my own content.
I’ve also bought software that helps me find articles from article directories, and they make my life so much easier.

i guess so too…. after u settled on a niche, you face a steep learning curve if the niche that you have decided isnt something that you really know…. and u simply have no way of coming up with content…
and its like.. u cant always be linking content from somewhere else…… so its quite problematic
