It\u2019s easy to make excuses when it comes to blogging<\/a>, and I\u2019m the first to admit: I\u2019ve made them, too! But \u201cI don\u2019t know what to blog about\u201d should not<\/em> be one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some extremely easy ways to create content so that you never have to stress about your blog again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Recap an article, ebook, or conference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some people like to take notes anyway (personally, I tend to learn best this way!); why not repackage that content and use it as a blogpost? Add your own thoughts or a little of your own spin, and you\u2019re good to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Base it off a photo or video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some days, it\u2019s hard to come up with a blogpost and that\u2019s ok! Why not start a Wordless Wednesday and post something with a few sentences but based on a video or photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Use your customer\u2019s FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Think about the questions that you get regularly from customers.<\/a> Since they\u2019re asking you, they\u2019re probably asking them online, too. So what better way to create a post than to use the content (verbal or otherwise) you use regularly?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Answer a customer\u2019s question<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I do it all the time:  I\u2019ll create posts based off of a client\u2019s questions, then sent them the link to the post as an answer. This is especially helpful when there are screenshots or videos involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only do you kill two birds with one stone, but you\u2019ll be able to send the link to future customers, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Use your Google Analytics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is one of my absolute favorite tricks. Go to your Google Analytics and under Traffic Sources > Sources > Search > Organic, then scroll down through the list of keywords people use to find your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically near the bottom, you\u2019ll find a ton of long tail keywords (those searches that are typically longer and more complex). I\u2019ve found these are fantastic<\/em> for blog inspiration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. Write about a great story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A great story is powerful<\/a>, whether it happens to you or someone else. A story that\u2019s relevant to your blog is a unique way to way to make information more meaningful and realistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Get out your mic and put your Barbara Walters pants on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, becoming an interviewer and interviewing with someone in your niche is a great way to bring a different type of post to your blog. They could also help bring a new and different audience, as interviewees are typically happy to share an interview to their circles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Cross-reference in your niche<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just because a topic isn\u2019t directly <\/em>in your field doesn\u2019t mean that it can\u2019t relate. For example, I write a lot about entrepreneurship<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While my business doesn\u2019t train entrepreneurs, I do work with many of them. Point being: write about topics that would be of interest to your readers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
