A Quick Tip For Overcoming Writer’s Block
Yesterday I didn’t meet my goal of writing 2000 words. I had writer’s block. I was getting distracted.
I sensed that my problem was not having a writing plan. So, I wondered, what would it look like to plan out my content creation. Here’s the quick tip I thought of.
I got a piece of paper, brainstormed different kinds of articles and blog posts, and wrote them down.
Here’s my preliminary list.
* Rewrite PLR article
* Review
* Recommendation
* Link out (Link blurb)
* Linkbait (Basically, something super creative)
* “Life cache” (tie a niche topic with a life event)
* Rewrite forum post
* Quick research post (pick a topic, find three articles/blog posts, combine them)
* Big research post (just like quick research post, but more research)
* List
Now, how does this help me write more words?
Well, before I write, I scan this list to give me a framework for my writing. Based on my recent blog reading and life experience, I choose the most relevant format and go for it.
Because of this list, I don’t have to rack my brains every time I post an entry. For me, this list of writing formats helps me focus on the niches, topics, and ideas. Instead of focusing out how to say something, I focus on actually saying something.
Tell me what you think. How do you add unique content to your websites? What other writing formats have I missed?
