Philip VanDusen - How to Find Content Ideas

I like to say “Out of feed, out of mind” because content marketing is still very much a numbers game. The average life cycle of posts are shorter than you think so volume is still king. I myself have been developing content for 6 years now with a newsletter every 2 weeks, a video every Monday, I often go live, etc so I know how it is to sometimes come up a little dry and hit that content wall.Here are tips on how to develop content and build a system that ensures you’ll never be at a loss again for ideas:● Don’t fear the spreadsheet; always keep something open for jotting down content ideas, topics you find interesting, or links you come across that can be a springboard for new content ideas later on.● Don’t pressure yourself to come up with something that’s absolutely original, there’s no such thing.● Instead of just talking about something that excites you, you can also develop content on things that you think can be improved.● Soak up content inspiration in conferences; talk about the topics and speakers.● Capitalize on trends; leverage its search volume and express your own opinion on it.● Co-opetition over Competition: do cross-interviews with other content producers to ideate and leverage each other for content.● Be sure to take a stand and add your unique point of view to content you produce because that’s what makes it original.● Here are 12 different types of content you can produce:1. Case Studies2. Educational Posts3. Reports4. Interviews5. Business Management Tips6. Marketing Ideas7. Business Development Strategies8. Trends9. Reviews10. Inspirational Material11. Infographics12.
