Writer’s Block? 6 Great Ways to Create Your Blog Content

Are you experiencing writer’s block when it’s time to blog? It’s not uncommon to feel this way. Here are some tips to help you get the content flowing.

Get inspired from blogs you read
Don’t plagiarize, but get inspired. Do you have blogs that you enjoy reading? If you find an idea that you think is relevant, put your own spin on it and expand on the idea for your readers.

Use strong images or video
You can keep your text short by inserting a bold image or a fun video.  Take pictures of your products or the end results of your services and use those rather than stock photos, when possible.

Create a How-To guide
Often, others struggle to do what comes easy for us, such as the services our small businesses offer. You might be surprised at how many people will appreciate a simple and clear how-to guide on tasks you never considered tricky. Share your knowledge.

Use Customer Testimonials
If you have happy customers, ask them to give you a testimonial in writing. Let them know you’ll be using it on your website and your blog. Testimonials strengthen your brand and your business reputation.

Make a ‘round’
Whatever your small business’ niche is, collect all the latest news items or products and put them into a little list. Give descriptions for each item and review them. Before you know it, you’ve created killer content in the form of a round. Rounds have become extremely popular and you may find yourself including them in your monthly blog rotation.
