CrossFit Media is gone. But that doesn’t mean you can go silent.
In fact, it means you have to step onstage.
Publishing content is more than posting pictures on social media. To establish yourself as an expert in your local market, you must publish longer content. You must answer questions your clients (and future clients) care about. You have to do it with a smile, and you have to do it often.
I publish every day. You don’t have to go that far. But you should publish every week. Luckily, writing is a fitness: the more you do it, the easier it gets.
So what should you write about?
The Secret to Finding Blog Topics
You need to write about the things your audience cares about.
What was the last question you were asked by a family member? Did you do an internal eye-roll and wonder: “Doesn’t everyone know that?”
They don’t. Tell them.
Below are 31 cues to get you started.
Every day, pick one question from the list. Answer it. Use one of three platforms (YouTube, blog or podcast). Keep your answer under 250 words, 2 minutes of video or 5 minutes of audio. Publish.

Answer the Questions They’re Asking
Many of these questions might seem like they’re at the “doesn’t everyone know that?” level.
But these are literally the top 31 questions people are asking about fitness and exercise on Quora.com right now.
FAQ
What’s the best platform to use? YouTube? Blog? Podcast?
The best platform is the one you’ll use consistently. I prefer writing. Others find it easier to just pick up their phone and record a YouTube video. Some prefer to just talk through the answers to their questions.
Where do I share my message?
Social media is your amplifier. Your social-media posts should lead back to your primary medium (one of the above three.)
What’s the best time to publish?
When you’re done creating.
What if I don’t know enough?
You do. If you know one little thing that can help someone else, that’s enough.
What if I say the wrong answer?
You won’t. Just help one person solve his or her problem.
What if my competitors/other gym owners see it?
Good. Be a shining beacon to them.
Where do I find an editor/producer/publisher?
You don’t. Your first work will not be perfect. You might choose to rewrite, re-film or edit later. Ten years from now, you might update your early work. Your assignment isn’t to write a bestseller. It’s to publish something—anything—that helps the person who needs it right now. Publish!
