At some point, the day will come (or may already have come) when you sit down to write content for your website and run out of ideas.

You look at a blank screen and you don’t know what content to write. And you know that the more quality content you create and spread across the internet, the better chance you have of turning your website efforts into a successful online business.

But do not worry. Here are some great ideas to overcome your writer’s block and create content your target audience will love.

Take a look at your competition

What have they published recently? Is your information or facts incomplete? Or do you have a completely new take on the subject based on your own experience? You don’t need to mention their website if you don’t want to, but don’t stop if the issues are important to your niche audience.

Content curation

Content curation is information that is already on the internet that is republished with some appropriate comments that put the information in context. It’s as if you provide your audience with the “best of the web” and you, as the publisher, choose the most informative content relevant to your niche.

See BuzzSumo

BuzzSumo.com lists the most up-to-date trending stories on the major social media sites in terms of how many times it was shared, links, etc. Choose the main content or produce your own on a similar topic.

Interview an expert

The experts will always offer a unique point of view that can trigger your own ideas. Gather your questions ahead of time and make sure you have approval to upload the interview to your website.

Ask your audience

If you’re not sure what to write about, ask your audience for questions and suggestions. This provides you with questions that are important to your audience and shows that you really care about what they think and feel. It’s easy to generate surveys on Facebook and surveys on SurveyMonkey.

Post reviews

Product or service reviews that have a legitimate air of authority and truthfulness are the ideal situation to insert an affiliate product link in order to earn n commission. You should only post reviews of products that you are familiar with, and it should be truthful and not overly pushy, so that they are of real value to your niche audience.

Tell your story

How did you start? What motivated you? Today, customers like to feel like they are dealing with real people, not automated trading programs. Don’t be afraid to also talk about what motivates you. Talk about your real life experiences and how you learned the dos and don’ts in the course of your work in your niche or industry.
