SIX SIMPLE TIPS TO GET CONTENT IDEAS

Six (6) Simple Tips To Getting Content Ideas

"Why don't you create content for your brand?"

When I asked this question in one of my training sessions, the response received from one of the trainees was that she is always scared of running out of content ideas.

I could resonate with her response because it was a phase I went through when I started, and several people have shared this concern.

Let me disabuse your mind from this self-limiting belief. Creating content consistently never makes you run out of ideas except if you are not paying attention to the mind-building activities that birth a consistent flow of ideas.

Here are simple ways to generate ideas that communicate value to your readers.

 Sign up for Newsletters from experts within and outside your niche

 There are people whose messages resonate with who you are. Look out for them and pitch your tent close to theirs.

 Read articles, blog posts, and books

 A river that is open to receive from different sources will never run out of supply. You can not give beyond what you don't have. To increase your value, read more.

Engage in other people's posts and comment intelligently

 Every comment you leave on an article is a topic on its own. A comment is a platform to share thoughts, don't be satisfied with just saying thank you for sharing, I got value, you are right, e.t.c.

 Research

Thought leaders are researchers. To stay relevant, go beyond what you are learning and research more.

 Share your personal experiences

Pay attention to documenting your successes and failures. Personal stories are one of the ways you can connect with your audience. People are eager to share in your process. Sharing your journey is a great way to keep them hooked on you.

Pay attention to the questions people ask you and the solution you offer.

 For every question you receive, there are other people who are experiencing the same and may not own up to asking.
