I love writing, but ideas don't always come to me easily. Especially when it comes to writing content for my business. One of my passion projects is a holiday blog! I'm excited to be jumping more into that now that fall is here. Honestly, some of the ideas come to be easier over there than it does here. Have you ever felt that?
A client of mine asked me how I come up with ideas and we spent one of her hours working with me, coming up with 25 – 30 topics for her to write on. That way she would always have content. And once you get going with content, it's easy to take that and run with a new piece of content. It got me thinking, and I figured, I'd start regularly posting writing ideas that maybe could spark some article posts topics for you too.
This doesn't mean that you need to take each idea an write about it, of course. It just means that hopefully it helps you come up with something that resonates and makes it a little easier for you.
One thing I do want to suggest with each blog that you write is to have a Call to Action at the end of each article encouraging your readers to sign up. In my Complete Content Planning Spreadsheet, there is actually a place for you to keep track of all of your free offers – check it out! If your call to action isn't a freebie, for something or check out a video or something that gets them to take an action. This is something I am working on too.
With that said, let's jump into some ideas and hopefully get you writing!

And many more!
Even if you wrote one a week and you loved all these, you now have 3.5 months worth of topics to start writing and exploring with.
Not only are most of these simple for you to write about, but it makes you appear more real and helps you start to build that relationship. It also touches them at the “heart” level versus the “sales” level.
Content Planning
Obviously I wouldn't put all of these together at once. I would take some of the topics above and spread them out weekly so that you're building out content that speaks to your ideal client.
Not only are you creating the know, like and trust but you're creating timeless content that people will come back to.
