Blogger’s block is something all writers will suffer from; lack of ideas, creativity, and inspiration. In order to blog, you’ve got to be able to give your readers something valuable while maintaining a laid-back, conversational style. But when you’re stuck and unable to “blog” properly your post may become very boring. So what to do? How can your blog post be the linkbait goldmine you’ve been waiting for?
Well, I have a few tips that may help:
1. READ OTHER BLOGS!! Nothing can help you overcome blogger’s block BETTER than to expose yourself to other blogs. This is the golden key to solve ALL of your blogging dilemmas. It is an inspirational and motivational tool that will help get your creative juices going.
2. Limit your Topics: As a professional blogger, you can’t blog about everything. In order to gain authenticity and credibility, you need to limit your topics. If you have a million topics in mind; it’s no wonder you have blogger’s block. However, if you limit the topics your mind will focus on one thing, and only one thing.
3. Personalize it: When you bring your business and personal experiences to the blog, you can truly attract more of an audience. Why? Because your blog is more authentic and unique. So when you’re stuck, consider a business incident that has occurred and try to blog about that.
4. Bullets and Lists: You can take a seemingly boring post and add some spice to it by listing the points in your blog: the “top ten” or “5 tips for.” People LOVE lists because they are organized, straight to the point, and very simple to understand.
When you blog, your need to consider what interests and attracts your reader; and keep in mind that this is a web-reader so there are special rules that apply.
5. Headlines: A great headline is the doorway to attract readers to your blog. It isn’t everything, but it can have an impact on how many people actually begin to consider looking at your blog. One method that is commonly used by bloggers is to include a celebrity’s name and how they taught you “the topic.” For example: “How George Bush taught me to write a better blog.” So how can this help you overcome blogger’s block? Simple; start with the headline and work your way down.
