Writing Content Isn’t That Hard To Do, It Just Takes A Few Tricks

Sometimes bloggers can experience writers block.  They sit down at their computer and want to write a post, but they just can’t figure out what feels good.  They can’t figure come up with a good idea for a post.    Well here are a few basic ideas and tips to help you out.  Maybe it will even get you a post or two.

  1. Debunk a Myth - In every industry there are myths.  There have to be a few in yours as well.  Write about celebrities?  Debunk the myth that one of them is sleeping with another one.  Write about gambling?  Debunk the myth that this hand is superior to that hand.   I tend to write about adsense and monetization, so I tried to debunk the myth that Adsense is dead.
  2. Write a Post For Beginners -  All websites want to develop new sources of traffic.  What is a better source than people who are beginners on the topic!   Write a beginners post or a “Dummy’s” post on a given topic in order to draw new people to your site.  Hopefully with your expertise they will become adept in no time.
  3. Summarize Your Best Posts - If you have been blogging for a while, chances are you have developed new readers who haven’t taken the time to read all the posts in your archives.  Do them a favor, and revitalize some of your old content, by taking the time to create a list of 20 or so of your best posts over the last year.  
  4. Post A FAQS - Do you have a lot of little ideas that won’t make good posts by themselves?  Do you hear the same simple questions over and over again?  Create a FAQs post.   That will be good for a day, and you can make it a stable on your site, adding to it as you think of more.
  5. Post A Pros/Cons Post - Pick a topic and give it a thorough hashing with a pros of an cons of post.  By the end of it your readers will feel they are experts on the topic, and that you are an expert in general.
