Whether it was the long winter, the lack of sunlight and being stuck indoors, there are many things we can blame our lack of inspiration on and writer’s block happens to the best of us. And it’s normal. As a business owner you are juggling many tasks and it’s easy to put off your blog, especially when you are not feeling inspired.
With spring upon us, it’s the perfect time to freshen up and inject new life into your blog. And SHAKE off those winter blues!
Make a small change, make a big change..do something! It will feel refreshing and give you a new perspective. (I added a new header to my blog).
3 ways to Find Inspiration for your Blog
1-Step outside of your niche: Read blogs totally unrelated to your industry. See what others are talking about and think of how you can relate this to your blog.
2-Use your Analytics tool (you do have one, right!) and see how people are finding your blog. Use these keywords as inspiration for new topics (assuming they are relevant…)
3-Freshen up an old post with new information: Have you been blogging for a while? Revisit an older post and update it with new stats, pictures or related information.
Bonus:
4-Visit your local magazine stand. Step back and take a look at the magazines. What stands out and catches your attention? Magazines can be a good source of headline information. I almost titled this post ’476 ways to improve your blog’ which was inspired by a fashion magazine (replace blog with ‘look’) but hesitated since I wanted to publish this sooner than later 
What techniques do you use to tackle writer’s block? How will you be revitalizing your posts?
