The Easiest Ways To Avoid Writer's Block Or Lack Of Content Syndrome by nohitch: 1:32pm On May 06, 2017
grin grin Hello house, Nohitch at your service.


Have you ever hit a road block while attempting to post an article on your blog or an article directory? Like some sort of blank space in your memory when you look at your blog and you are like, damn, I have run out of content ideas.

Statistically speaking, 95% of writers more than twice in a life time, face a case we call “writers block”, which is a situation that exists as a result of not knowing what to come up with as an article for publication.

This can be very devastating as most times even to the extent of not knowing what articles to write about when it involves premium services, there are ways to avoid running out of content ideas be it blog posts or any other online journal.

1. Competitor Websites: in the world of blogging, there is the existence of competitor websites or competitor blogs. If you have never heard of “competitor sites” and you are a blogger, then you aren’t serious and need to seat up. Most WordPress blogs, have a space for posts that have the most or recent comments. From this, you can actually get ideas on what to write about. More so, navigating through other posts on your competitor blogs or websites can still give you ideas, plus when you look at the comments, you can actually see other topics your competitor blog visitors might need knowledge on.


2. Article Directories: Ezinearticles, articlesbase, articlecity etc., these are examples of article directories, where articles on every category or niche you can ever think of exists. While navigating through the categories in any of the article directories, you certainly will come up with article ideas to write on. This helps a great deal especially for those writers in the health niche. But be advised, if you intend making use of any article in any of these article directories, you must credit the original writer or be penalised for plagiarism.

3. Google Alerts: this list will be incomplete without Google Alerts. As a matter of fact, it should be number one or two on the list, but I remembered when I got to this point. If you intend to get first hand any topic mentioned in your niche, then you need to set up a Google Alert account. Instead of wasting precious time and data subscription trying to sift keywords on search engines, you will get an alert once your topic of interest is mentioned on Google. You will get these alerts in your inbox depending on the settings you chose while setting it up, from daily, once a week or as the news pop up.


4. Social Media: the importance of this platform shouldn’t be over emphasised, but the issue is this, most writers do not leverage this opportunity to its fullest. Different niches have specific social media platforms that can help generate content ideas. For instance, a writer in the niche of finance, fashion, news, lifestyle science and technology should focus more on Twitter. With the hashtag # search strength, you are sure of knowing what’s what. Instagram and Pinterest are great for skincare product writers, photography bloggers and celebrity gossip. You can hardly find celebrities on Facebook because, every and anyone these days can falsify an account and claim to be a celebrity; some with no ulterior motives and the rest for fraudulent activities. GooglePlus and LinkedIn are the best for entrepreneurship and business blogs. Facebook groups are great too, but stick to the business groups if you are business writer.
