Finding Ideas For Content - Are you struggling?
My website is about wedding planning and since we are planning my daughter's wedding in December, I didn't think I'd ever run out of things to write about.
Till Now!
We are at a standstill in planning. We have everything in order as far as we can go right now. I thought I'd write content on everything we were planning at the moment. I didn't figure I would ever be at a stopping point in planning.
Anyway, in one of the lessons, Kyle suggested Google Alerts. They are a way of getting alerts on any aspect of your niche by way of emails for Google. You can sign up for as many or as little as you want and how often you want to receive them.
I signed up for two different alerts and get them once a day. At first it was kind of a pain and then I realized (duh) that this was a great place for ideas for new blogs. I was getting stuff about celebrity weddings (blah, blah, blah) but finally today I opened my mind and got some ideas, did a little keyword research and Tada! a new post.
So I guess I'm suggesting that if you're having trouble finding content or ideas for content you should look into the Google Alerts. It's what's trending in your niche so you'll be on top of what's new. Finally I might know what I'm talking about! HAHA!

Maybe it is just me, but when I use keyword search tools, it is like brainstorming and especially when I use the one in WA and get the QSR. I always scroll down the first page of google displayed and look for the articles there. Gives me great ideas, I do it with the keyword searches I do. And then, I use the keyword search by letters (ABC) on google. Very effective too.
Great ideas. Thanks. I use all that for keywords but I hadn't thought to use that for ideas. Thanks again.
