Ever had one of those days when the creativity and the writing just won’t come to you? Those of us whose job it is to create fresh, compelling, and creative content for marketing and social media know just how hard it is some days to get that spark of insight and inspiration into creating, if not award winning content, then content that will rank well and allow your company a good return on investment.
At moments of creative burnout, it’s helpful to have a plan in place in order to overcome our merely human weaknesses (since all content writers consider themselves writing gods, normally). One of my personal plans is to to look through a number of websites on writing, copy editing, marketing, e-commerce, SEO, and even tech blogs. Sooner or later you will always find something that sparks the creative juices. And right on queue, CopyBlogger posted a great resource today to help us all come up with ideas for great marketing content:
