Stuck for ideas?

As a marketer, I often get asked, ‘Where do you get your ideas from?’ I’ve been coming up with ideas and seemingly pulling them out of the air for the best part of 10 years, so for me these days…the ideas just come! If you’re a lone content wolf, here are the places that you can go to find content ideas:

ANSWERTHEPUBLIC.COM

You can use it for free, you just input your keyword or keyphrase, and it supplies you with a wheel of options that you can develop into content ideas, blog titles, email subject lines, themes for a video, and so on.

ALSOASKED.COM

Similar to Answer The Public, but it’s mapping questions out for you. To explain, you input your question (something a prospect might Google), and AlsoAsked shows you what that prospect might have also asked, then off of that question – what also may have been asked, and on and on!

DAYSOFTHEYEAR.COM

There is a day for everything, a month of awareness for all sorts of things! This site collates them all on a global level.

CONTENTIDEAS.IO

This is a content suggestion tool. You plug in a few themes, and it suggests all sorts of things to you based on the top-performing content it’s found online

GREEN UMBRELLA’S 75 IDEAS OF THINGS TO POST!

Well, it would have been wrong of me to leave this out, wouldn’t it? Go grab your download, print it out and go through it with a highlighter. Simply highlight the ideas you know will work for you and your business. Once you’ve done this, you should have a crib sheet of 20-30 ideas you can keep cycling through.

There are a bunch of other resources you can use – but I think those 5 give you a solid starting point. Let me know how you get on!
