I've been reading and learning over the past few months on IM and how to promote your Network opportunity and selling PLR Ebooks.

But now i've got the so called ' Block' :confused: . !

I think i've done so much reading i've just gone blank everytime i come to write a article.

So i like to ask a question and some help - Have you ever had the 'Block ' when you can't get write anything down and mind goes blank ?

How did you get passed it?

    Take a break, and don't chase perfection the first time.

    I know having written a number of very (very) long papers for University courses, starting out is always the hardest. I always find myself staring at a blank page until I accept the fact that I just need to get ideas following. I ultimately end up creating a "filler" intro, which gets me in the mindset to write. Then at the end of the paper, I ultimately end up going back and rewriting the intro so that it better connects to the rest of the paper.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,
    Ben

      This happens to me sometimes. Then, I search the internet relating to the topic I want to write about. Within 3 minutes I'm thinking "oh yeah, I forgot about that...oh that too, I can write about that...etc." Works for me when I need some inspiration.

    You can eliminate nearly all block and much of the stress if you choose to market something you like, relate to, enjoy, have an affinity for, love, know about, is your hobby, your passion, etc., etc., etc...

    Since you're going to be up close and personal with whatever it is you've chosen to do, doesn't it make sense to at least like it? Some will say pick something profitable. I'd agree. But only after dramatically reducing the learning curve with something familiar first. Good luck.

    Usually I carry a little notebook with me all the time. Because I develop good topics to write in the most unexpected moments.

    So I already got several topics on my notebook, it's so much easier to write about something you already have than if you want start from zero.

      Yes, you're right there. Sometimes i wake up in night and can't go back to sleep with so many thoughts running through my head. But in the morning i forgotten most of them.

      Block kicks in then !!!!

    The "block" can happen at any time. It can happen to us all. The best thing is to not fret it but to take a break. Sometimes I have taken a "break" for more than a day even.

    Or try taking a walk, or listen to music. Get away from it!

    Listening to motivational audios or watching motivational videos is very helpful to!

    Either way, don't sweat it. It will come back to you!
