Blogging Ain’t Easy | 5 Tips For Speeding Up Your Content Creation

There is no better feeling than when an idea pops into your head, the creative juices flow, and your content is created and posted before you know it. You’ve also probably suffered from the opposite… staring at a blank screen thinking, what am I going to write about today?

Well, here are a few of our favorite go-to tricks to turn those blank screens into ideas, so you can get back to the rest of your day.

Tip 1: Keep a log of ideas

Keeping a log is by far the best way to keep content organized and plentiful. As you have ideas throughout the week, write them down in the same place. If you have a team of employees, take 30 minutes to brainstorm some content ideas. Talk to a friend, partner, kids, or anyone who will listen. Ask them, “what would you want to know about my service or product.” 

Collaboration and documentation are key to never getting stuck. In fact, this article came from our content log… it beat out, social media sites that didn’t work out. Maybe we chose the wrong topic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Tip 2: Writing apps, they got software for that? 

Writing apps are starting to come a long way. Now, they still can’t do it for you, but they can help you get unstuck. From content idea generators to AI, software might be just what you need to jumpstart your content game. Here are a few of our favorites

Tip 3: Hire a coach

That’s what we do. We help you build a marketing system that works for you, so you are never stuck. Schedule a free first-time season,  and we can help you implement some of these content creation strategies.

Tip 4: Hire a freelancer

Much like finding a driver on Uber. You can find a writer on an app. Check out Writer’s Access, https://www.writeraccess.com/, and find a copywriter at competitive rates.

Tip 5: Use a writing formula

Starting with a writing formula is another great way to focus your thoughts and start creating your content. Check out these tried and true writing formulas that every copywriter uses to influence, persuade, and engage: https://buffer.com/resources/copywriting-formulas/

The real trick to writing is practice. So, keep writing, keep posting, and keep asking yourself, “how can I keep improving what I’m doing.”

And remember, when you take control of your marketing, you take control of your business.
