Do you ever get stuck when it comes to writing a blog like I often do? I understand your pain! After searching around on the web reading blog after blog, I noticed several things that seemed to be consistent on blog postings - the viewpoint is usually informative, well written, and overall entertaining. Here are a few ideas that will hopefully help with the writer’s block.
- Research your ideas before you write about them and see what other bloggers are writing about on your topic of choice - what works, what doesn’t work? There is nothing wrong with a little comparison.
- Try writing a how to or posting a video tutorial that will be useful and informative.
- Ask readers to rate your previous blogs, once you’ve gathered the results and have chosen a winner, then post them for others to enjoy.
- Give a free recommendation or piece of advice that has been useful to you, others may find it helpful also.
- Use your Frequently Asked Questions for your blog.
- Don’t forget to add your personality into your blogs - it doesn’t all have to be serious!
- Write about what specifically makes you the best in your business, what techniques or programs do you use that no one else knows about yet?
- Post a picture and ask for readers to comment on it, visual blogs can definitely keep it interesting!
- Post a blog and then submit a comment that says how well written and genius it was.
- Find another post that is particularly badly written and then constructively criticize the article.
