The Smart Marketer’s Guide To Blogging Consistently [Part 1]

Are you an ideas person? If you are, blogging is a great place for you and your creativity, as you’ll be pouring all those ideas into new posts and content for your readers. If you’re not, you still need to come up with new ideas. No matter which group you are in, however, you will sometimes come up against a brick wall where you’re just flat out uninspired with nothing at all.

So what do you do? My best advice is to save yourself by planning for that rainy day, just like you would with a savings account. Try to have 10 ideas a day – not all will be great, but when the well is eventually dry one day in the future, you can simply look over your unused ideas for inspiration.

Of course, not all those ideas are going to be amazing. Let’s be honest here – a lot of ideas just plain suck. But the point here is to just get them down so that they are there. After all, you can always fish out the bad ideas at a later date and burn them on the pyre!

Ideas can strike at any time – this step doesn’t mean having to sit down for a set amount of time and furiously think out ideas, but instead to always carry around something you can jot down ideas you have on the fly. Your phone, a notepad – whatever is comfortable.

The truth is that most ideas come out of the blue when you’re doing something else, and capturing them is half of the battle. Some days you’ll have more, other’s you’ll be dry. Just like creativity, ideas aren’t always in fruitful supply: but store them, and you’ll never run out.
