Immerse Yourself in Your Industry Online

Writing a blog post, but you’re stuck? Do you suffer from writer’s block?  Here are some tips I typically give clients to help them find inspiration:

• Think of the top 10 questions that clients or customers always seem to ask you.
• Provide answers to those questions in the form of blog posts and your easily have 10 new blog posts.
• Immerse yourself in your industry online. In other words, participate in online forums, discussion groups, and groups on LinkedIn, for example.
• Find out what people are talking about as it relates to your field. What are common hot topics?  That’s what you should be writing about.  Are people asking the same question, but in different ways?  That’s an opportunity for you to bring your expertise to the table by writing an informative post that addresses the questions and ultimately highlights your expertise.
• Listen to your readers. For example, if a reader says, I would love to know how to incorporate exercise into my busy work schedule, your next blog post would be titled something like, “5 Easy Exercises You Can Do in the Office or During Lunch”.
