Writing a blog
You will hear from multiple places that you should be consistent with your blog posting be it daily, weekly, or monthly. Sometimes you can have 3 great ideas at once while other days, you struggle for just one idea. When the great ideas fly, go with it! Write them all so you can have some in the queue.
Tips to get over the blog post rut:
- Read your old posts. Can any be updated? Rewrite it as a new post.
- Update an old post and change the date.
- Ask a friend or client what they want to learn more about or what area do they need better understanding.
- Has something happened in the news lately that’s related to your industry?
- Read other blogs from your industry. Don’t steal!!
- And sometimes, you just need to step away and do something completely different. Take a walk, go to lunch, play with your child or pet, or call a friend.
- Have a guest writer. Then the pressure is off of you.
- And sometimes, it’s right under your nose and you just need to open your eyes! (Oh, look. I’m writing a post.)
