Have a Thought? Create a Draft!
I get asked all the time how I come up with ideas for posts. Especially considering I now have 4 Blogs that I have to post to a couple times each week.
One the key elements is knowing what to post about is also knowing what is of interest to your readers and what that group is talking about. I do this by subscribing to other Blogs and select ezines that offer value and very focused content. This helps me to keep up on the latest conversations and to look at ways to put my unique spin on the topics.
Another thing I do is track the questions I get asked on a daily basis. If people are asking me the same questions, chances are others will want to know the answers or my thoughts on the topics too.
Then, when I get a thought or have one of those epiphanies that I know is great fodder for a new post or article, right then and there I stop what I am doing and I login to WordPress. I quickly create a new post with a basic title, and type in the post box what my idea for that post or article is. I then save it as a draft.
If I am having writer’s block or am pressed for time (which seems to always be the case as of late) I can go to a draft that already gives me a running start. Saves time and let’s me hit the ground running with relevant content I know visitors/readers will be interested in.
Before you know it you’ll have a bunch of drafts to choose from all based on real world conversations and what you know those who visit your Blog want you to type about.
Try it out and let me know if it works for you!
At your service,
Judith
