Yesterday we discussed why questions help you create content. You also learned where to find questions and even traffic. But did you know you can turn one question into multiple blog posts?
One Question = Multiple posts
You aren’t going to get even a single post when you answer a question with a simple yes or no. So think about other aspects, related needs, or situations. For example: “Should I get a Blackberry phone?” does not have to have a one word answer. You just need to think about what information you would want, had you asked the question. Then discuss the information for your web site content. But for true web site content creation, look into the question, you are sitting on a goldmine of articles.
Finding the Goldmine of Content Creation
For the Blackberry phone, here’s just a sampling of articles you could write.
- Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a Blackberry.
- Explain the differences between the models.
- Which is best for a job type
- Is photo geek’s needs different than a text lover?
- Does where someone lives make a difference?
- Problems with Blackberries
- Go for funny, explain the differences between the blackberry fruit and the Blackberry phone.
Everyone has different needs.
When you think of all the different people who need answers to a question, and how their needs are different from someone else your potential article opens up into a whole world of articles. One question can turn into multiple blog posts for your web site content. You can turn content creation from an aspect of fear into a world of opportunity.

Very cool, MJ! Thanks for the mention and also for your support and encouragement through the #blog30 challenge. I've enjoyed reading your quality posts and “meeting” you! I really like this post. You are so right that a question can be answered in multiple posts and channels. Rock on!
This was a really great post MJ!! I love the question and the ideas that came from them. I think it is an excellent practice to think about all the people and all the questions that you could answer. I started a question sheet a few months ago and sat down to write 100 questions that an entrepreneur may have. I didn't finish that list (it really can never be finished.. I'll keep adding to it) but I have about 80 questions so far. This gives me great ideas for content, blogs, articles and products!! Thank you so much for reminding me how valuable questions are!!xoxHelenP.S Much congratulations on finishing the 30 day blog challenge!! Yay!!
Thank you! You have inspired me a lot. I think having a list of 100 question or even the 80 you have currently is VERY awesome! MJ
