Content Creation – What To Do When You Get Stuck
It has happened to everyone of us at some time or another battling with content creation. You have a very noble goal to write everyday, but for whatever reason, you cannot think of any dang thing to talk about. So what do you do when this situation happens?

What Is Your Goal of Your Content Creation
There are a couple of tricks that you can use to stimulate your mind for good ideas to write about.
Before we explore these ideas, you need to decide what the goal of your post is. You may be writing to get more traffic by talking about a trend or you may be targeting a specific keyword with a goal to rank on the search engines. Whatever you are targeting, keep that in mind when you choose where to get your ideas from.
Sources of Ideas for Content Creation
Google Trends – If you don’t know what this is, just Google it. This is a feature of Google that will tell you what the hottest items typed in to the search field for a given amount of time. This is awesome for content creation ideas. You can spot trends that will be short lived, but you will also be able to identify those that have more staying power. On a side note, this works very well targeting social media like Twitter or Facebook.
Google Keyword Tool – You are probably saying, ugh, keyword research, I have content creation block, how in the heck am I going to know what keyword to use? Au contraire mon frere, we are not going to poke around and try to stumble on a keyword. Instead we are going to enter in a website that you want to dissect in to the “website” field. This will show you a list of 100 keywords that Google recognizes as the site you entered to be about. So if this is an authority site, you can get an idea of great ideas to write about for your content creation.
Reading Similar Blogs – You are not the only one in your niche. When you get stuck, go ahead an take a look at some competitors sites. You will be surprised at how this triggers your brain into really creative content creation. While you are there, show some love comment on what you read, it will give you a backlink to your site and may even start a nice relationship.
