The Magic Hat of Blog Ideas

In an effort to help our clients stay motivated and on top of their blogs, I have came across a tidbit of information that might help.

One of the reasons that blogs get pushed aside is due to writer's block. We've all had it - we know we need to write something, we sit in front of the computer, type a few lines out, delete it, type a few more lines, delete it, and then walk away from the computer feeling frustrated because we have nothing to write about. Being in your chosen profession, there are ALWAYS things to write about. The industry is constantly changing and there is news about it every day. Yet, when it comes to writing it all down, our brain just shuts down.

One tip is to develop a place where you can jot down ideas as they pop into your head. Maybe it's a small notebook that you carry with you all the time. Maybe it's a folder on your desktop and inside it, you keep a Word doc with strings of ideas. Whatever works for you! Even if you aren’t going to post that day, whenever you have an idea pop into your head or hear an interesting bit of news, write it down. That way you can have a stockpile of topics ready to go when you are. Then, whenever you are ready to write a blog, you can just dig into your magic hat and pull out a great topic.

Hopefully this small tip will help you in your quest for eternal blogging power. If you have any other questions about blogging or need help figuring something out, please don't hesitate to contact your account manager.
