Writing can give power to your business only if you do it.

I know I always say writing articles and press releases are great marketing techniques and ways to get your message out there. I suppose it's because I love writing.

So when you sit down at the computer to start writing do you find your eyes wandering out the window at how beatiful the day is and does your mind follow? Don't worry. For many people, writing can be a totally overwhelming task which may push you to give up before you even get started.

There are some surefire ways to overcome this challenge. So let us go step by step at what may be blocking you from writing your next great ad, article or even a simple press release.

Writer's Block:

Everyone gets it. The greatest advice I have received on how to overcome writer's block is to just start writing without even thinking. An idea will eventually spark. Also, a good tip I was told awhile back is don’t worry about editing while you are writing your original draft. Editing and more editing will come later.

How do I find ideas?

One of the best things you can do is to read. Read whatever you can, when you can. I scour marketing sites, blogs, online newsletters, magazines, newspapers and get sensational ideas from the news such as CNN. In fact, read the competition, you may find angles they aren’t tackling.

The Formula:

Answer questions like how, what, where, when and why and the answers to those questions could fill pages before you know it.

Journaling:

Blogs and journals are fantastic for getting your thoughts down and getting you used to writing on a daily basis. I am writing in so many different venues that it can sometimes be hard to keep up. I must say personal journals are an incredible way to work through ideas, business projects and mindset as well. These venues were geared to give people a place to share ideas and opinions and get some dialogue going.

The most important part to remember is have fun, write what you have a passion for because it will shine through and people will get to know who you are through your writing. Writing can be extremely powerful for yourself and your business.
