how-to-cure-writers-blockHave you ever sat down to write articles for your MLM business, and didn’t know what the heck to write?

If so you’re certainly not alone. But curing writers block isn’t actually as hard as you might think.

There are a few things that you can do that will have you pumping out articles faster than you could believe.

5 Ways to Cure Writers Block

Writers block can hurt your MLM business if you let it. Sitting there fiddling around your desk because you can’t think of anything to write is a time waster. For argument sake, so is sitting staring at a blank computer screen and counting how many times the cursor blinks per minute. Since time is money we need to learn how to cure writers block for the sake of our MLM business.

So Here are 5 Ways to Cure Writers Block…

1) Problems – When we write articles to promote our MLM business, we’re actually looking to help solve people’s problems right. Well there are numerous ways to find problems. What problems are you having right now? What are problems that some of your downline (or upline) have had recently? What problems are people having in forums?

2) Inspiration – Your MLM prospects, customers, and downline need to be inspired almost constantly…as do you! So if you come across something inspiring then you can share that in your writing. Sometimes quotes can inspire, a movie, a poem, something that you’ve read, or even something in the news. Whatever inspires you will likely inspire someone else.

3) Stories – People have been gathering for stories since there have been people. The people that surround you in your MLM business are no exception. Stories can also be a great source for inspiration, as well as for motivation. Stories are one of the greatest ways that you can influence other people. That’s because they’re hypnotic and almost put people into a trance like state, and when they’re hearing your stories they’re putting themselves in the story in their mind. This then becomes extremely powerful.

4) Hot Topics/News – I touched on this in number 2, but one of the greatest places to find something to talk about, even for your MLM business is to use the current news. If you have a newspaper laying around, even if it’s from last weekend and it’s Friday when you’re reading this, if you can find a way to tie a news story into your articles then you’ve hit a homerun. Need an example…well if you sell health products could you tie a sports story to that, or how about Dancing with the Stars? That’s hot about twice a year. Well dancing leads to health (products), and it’s also utilizing people who have never danced professionally before (motivation) and putting them against each other (friendly competition). You see how many angles you can get out of one silly show, and you can even turn that into a series of articles.

5) Create Titles and Headlines – Just start listing a bunch of article titles until you hit on something that you find interesting. You can use all of the sources above and just create a huge list of possible article titles. This will give you ample material for when you go to sit down and write for your MLM business. It will save you time, as well as give you leverage of ideas.

So there you go. You really have no reason to sit around and not write tons of articles anymore. There are ideas all around you. And one last quick tip: Don’t pigeon hole yourself to topics! Sure you’re writing about your MLM business but there are so many facets to an MLM business that you can write on so many topics. Variety in itself is a great cure for writers block.
