Writing interesting content is more important than ever, but where do you turn to find unique inspiration for your content? Initially, you might be starting out with heaps of ideas, but over time it can get harder to come up with new topics. Here are ten unique suggestions to help you find fantastic inspiration for your web content.
- Magazines
It may seem very low-tech when the emphasis today is always on the internet as the primary source of information, but actual real-life print magazines are a surprisingly abundant source of inspiration. Subscribe to some publications connected with your field or sector and peruse them for topics that may be of interest to your readers.
- Interviews
Talk to other company leaders in your field or in an affiliated area of business. Interviews and conversations with them may turn up issues and subjects that will make for brilliant and valuable content.
- Personal Experiences
Your own life is full of inspiring ideas. The wealth of experience that each one of us has in our own brief history is a mine of ideas for great content. Think about your own life experiences and events that have happened to you. Whether funny, serious or just odd, your readers will love to hear about them.
- Advertising
Billboards, TV advertising and magazine ads are all useful places to try. Looking at other companies’ slogans and catchphrases may make you relate them to your own company and give you food for thought.
- Family and Friends
What could be easier than doing what you do every day – talking to your nearest and dearest? Conversations and discussions with your relatives and friends will give you new perspectives on issues and may help you to look at things from a different angle.
- Fiction
Libraries are full of inspiring ideas. Just reading great literature can encourage and instruct you in the art of storytelling. Everyone loves a good tale so use your literary knowledge and passion for novels to inspire your content.
- Comedy
In the evening, we all like to kick back and watch something humorous. There are countless channels dedicated to comedy shows that are fun to watch as well as great content inspiration. Watch some funny TV and find out what makes people tick. If you can make your readers laugh, they will want to come back another time and read more.
- Hobbies
We all need to relax from time to time. Whatever you love doing, use your hobby as a possible source of content – your readers will love hearing about the things that interest you. Relaxing and enjoying your hobby will also encourage you to open your mind to new ideas and may breed inspiration.
- Feedback
Use your customers to your advantage. Ask what they think of your company and use their answers to inform your content. Address their issues and answer queries.
- The News
Keep in touch with the news. Knowing what’s going on in the world today gives you an ever ready source of topics.
