Lately, I’ve noticed how hard it is to find time to write a blog post. Fall is busy at Canyon with 2010 planning and concepting. With so much going on, it’s tough to catch up on my Google Reader, let alone create an inspirational and motivational blog post.
No matter your workload, it’s important to remember your company is creating blog content that is read by your clients, potential prospects and leaders in the industries you serve. Here are some helpful tips to stay on the ball:
- Get Inspired! Use your coffee break to read other blogs related to your industry. A few of my faves are Convince and Convert, Direct Daily, Ask A Copywriter.
- Keep a notebook. Jot down ideas throughout the day. Some of the best ideas come at the most inopportune time.
- Make it relevant. Think about how current events relate to your business, for example: A Golden Opportunity, Don’t B a ‘Donkey’ – Think b4 U Tweet, Hablas Español?
- Have back up. Keep some posts in the queue.
- Take a break. Schedule guest bloggers that can give your audience new insight.
Using these tips makes it easy to keep your blog fresh and relevant so readers will keep coming back. Remember don’t forget to have fun.
