3 Stress-free Blog Post Ideas for People Who Hate Writing
Writing a blog post can be an intense pursuit. You have to generate compelling ideas, strategize how to execute them, put those ideas onto paper (or Google Docs), and then flesh out all editing to create a coherent piece of work.
So when you check your editorial calendar and see a couple of blog posts coming up, it’s not unusual to feel apprehensive about tackling them. But producing content that will keep your audience engaged is part of building a successful brand.,so opting out blogging is not a choice. Instead of throwing in the towel, make the process easier on yourself.
In this blog, we will highlight three stress-free blog post ideas for the people out there who have a ‘frenemy’ thing going on with writing:
Insta Roundup
Your social media has a great wealth of content, so why not repurpose it for blog posts?
This type of content may not be an in-depth exploration of your business’s ethos, but it's a great way to showcase your work. If you’re a brand with seasonal and trend-based services, this is a perfect way to show your audience how current your content is - and also show off your personality.
A roundup post also serves to highlight your social media networks and give people a glimpse of your daily content.
Start by writing a brief introduction giving an overview of your week, add in one or two sentences of background on each image, give a short wrap up, and voila, you have a blog post.
Posting content like this on a regular basis will create a great structure for getting a blogging routine in place. Also, it will keep you accountable with your social media posting!
Overheard Quotes
At Hoot, we love having fun with our coworkers. If we’re not sinking our teeth into homemade chocolate chip cookies , we’re probably raving about how awesome “Cheer” on Netflix is. (HIT!) Or, we may be singing along to the latest Taylor Swift song. This may seem irrelevant when talking about blog post ideas, but it’s actually very useful.
Paying attention to what’s going on in your office space can loop you in on random one-liners floating amongst your co-workers. Collect some of these off-beat quotes and use them to highlight what goes on behind the scenes in your office.
You can even substitute written quotes by creating amazing graphics on Canva. Then just give one to two sentence descriptions of each graphic and you’ll have compelling blog content that your audience will hopefully reshare.
Sh*t You’re Already Promoting
This one should be a total no-brainer, but it’s easy to overlook. Any advertising images that you post should link directly back to your site, and one way to boost this is by creating blogs about your current offerings. Make sure to let your readers know about any fun events you’re hosting, your latest discounts, or new products!
Blog writing doesn’t have to be hair-raising. If you pay attention to the little things surrounding you, you’ll get new ideas for poppin’ content. Now, onto blogging!
