When the words won’t flow, we beat our head against the wall. Like a Gorged shadow, it defies. We mourn, cry, feel sad, down, and lack motivation. True for most of us. Sally Hogshead has a 21 tips series that she shares. She recently shared a piece entitled 21 Juicy Ideas for Fascinating Content. Of the 21, I found 13 personally inspiring that I intend to Saintly put into action. Here I’ll share:
- Start with information, then add insight
- Go on a rant
- Ask a provocative question
- Write about something for the first time. She calls it give First Dibs
- Give an unexpected gift
- Critique your own brand (or yourself)
- Educate people about a potential problem
- Ask for opinions
- Give a behind-the scenes glimpse (i.e. show us a new side of yourself so we understand who you are)
- Find the Good (spotlight customers, employees or the competition…yikes!)
- Identify our secret hopes (share that you understand what we aspire to become)
- Describe anything that fascinates you (share why)
- Dare us (your challenge us to take one step outside your comfort zone)
I find these content creation tips a thrill, and will try to follow those I have selected in creating my own content in the next few weeks. What about you? Anything sparks your interest?
Do share.
