One of the most common phrases I’ve heard when it comes to generating content is, “I don’t know what to write/blog about!”
Well, while I can’t offer a permanent, ongoing service or solution for that sort of thing, I can offer at least one week’s worth of exercises, and maybe that will give you a habit or method you can use for the future. Let’s call this #BlogSomething2012, and here’s how it will work if you want to play along.
Over the next week, on the days listed below, I’ve selected a photo about which you should blog. The photos are all from one of the local museums and you have permission to embed them in your posts (click through to each link to get the embed code). To give you even more focus and/or challenge, I’ve provided a theme and description that each post should be about. Note that the topics are all marketing and sales related, even if the photos are not – a neat way to get out of a rut and think outside the box a little. How can you tie the photo into your post? How can you make both relevant and work together?
If you participate, please tag your post with the hashtag #BlogSomething2012 and share it. I hope you play along – let’s see what new marketing and sales ideas you come up with!
