Welcome to this week’s social media quick tip. This week I want to show you how to generate content ideas when you are running out of inspiration.
Next time you’re stuck for something to write about, try brainstorming using a tool like HubSpot’s Blog Topic Generator. It lets you input up to three different nouns and returns five blog topic ideas that will exercise your writing muscles again.
Here are the suggestions generated for me when I input the terms “social media” and “marketing” into the tool.
A similar tool to Hubspot, Portent’s Content Idea Generator allows you to generate ideas with just one keyword. Be prepared that the tool can throw up some quirky suggestions, but don’t let that put you off. Keep playing around with it until you find one you can work with. I also really like how it shows you best practice tips, such as using metaphors in your writing.
I also like to use Buzzsumo to find inspiration by searching which popular content is most shared right now on social media. These are the topics people want to read about so it’s worth brainstorming ideas around this content.
Here’s to your socia media success!
