When you know you need to update your website but just keep getting that dreadful brain freeze. There’s nothing worse than staring at a blank screen and having no idea of what you should be typing.
Where do you go for your website content ideas?
You may well find like myself you get a lot of those days. What may help you is to use the available variety of searches provided by Google. You can search for anything from blogs, forums all the way through to news articles.
It’s the best place to turn for website content ideas. What I like to do is put in my base keyword that the website is focused around and search news related articles. That lets you know what people are currently reading in your niche. You don’t want to be taking the same content to place on your site, but what you can do is read through what is happening and then go back to your blank white computer screen and start to get your base ideas typed in there.
You can then go through the discussion search and see what people are talking about in the forums online. Take some notes from there and go back to your notes and type in the active discussions that are going on.
Then there’s the blogs. What are the other bloggers in your niche posting to their websites. You can even visit them and find out if they’re websites visitors are being inspired by the content to leave comments on the site. If that’s happening then there’s a good chance that people are really involved in the discussions and keeping updated with a specific topic. Of course you’ll want to make sure the comments are legitimate and not these awful automated things that are becoming hard to escape.
Once you have all your notes on website content ideas compiled together in the one place you can go through them and look for the same sort of material propping up in all 3 of the searches.
You can now take your website content ideas and start providing personal content to your own visitors as while you’re reading these posts, there’s a lot of your visitors going to be reading the same content.
Since you have your own website or blog you can start building on your personal website content by giving your perspective on what is going on and you can answer some of the questions you’ll have found from the online discussions.
There’s website content ideas to be found all over the internet. The important thing is to make sure there is an audience interested in your content and the research is where you find that out. Then organize your page by the ideas you now have into what you are going to write about and some notes on your layout and content structure.
