There are several times in the week where I just face plant right into a wall and it becomes like pulling teeth to churn out posts on the TrackMaven blog. Writers block or any time of brain blockage affects all marketers and writers. Everyone is bound to hit some type of wall, whether the words are at the tip of your tongue or your tongue is just completely tied…the words just can’t hit the screen in the proper flow.

However, the measure of a true marketer or writer is how they overcome the barriers. I have a multitude of solutions ranging from washing my dishes to taking a walk, but sometimes those just don’t work…or I just don’t want to do my dishes. So, I start with some abstract thoughts or questions because I’m trying to get to the root of the problem I’m trying to solve. Asking my self over a dozen questions really gets my brain going and then answers flow out as blog posts.

Pretty simple right?

Taking a step back from the wall, you can formulate the questions you are trying to answer rather than pounding out solutions that just don’t make sense.

Here’s a list with over 100 questions that you cna ask yourself to remove the obstacles of writing and to help you churn out over 1000 posts. Each question could spin off into about 10 other questions that you can tackle with individual blog posts with answers for your audience. Now, some of these won’t have straight forward answers, some might involve a little transparency that you can mitigate to your preference, and some may sound a little…silly; however, giving several of these a whirl will pluck you out of the dreaded writer’s block. Ready for them?
