It’s the day every social media manager dreads – you sit at your desk to work, and… there’s nothing. You’ve finally hit a wall with your content ideas, and you have no idea where to turn to in order to get the inspiration flowing again. Whether it’s for your own business or your clients’, we’ve all been there at some point, so we’ve compiled our favourite ways of getting the spark back again in today’s episode of JFDI.
Your first thought for how you might get your inspiration back again might be to hop on your favourite social media platform and start scrolling, searching for new ideas for posts. This is a surefire way to overwhelm yourself and feel as though everyone in the world has content ideas except for you. And if you’re sitting staring at that blank page, trying to plan out the next month of content, you really can’t just force it to come.
So, no more scrolling randomly for ideas, and no more staring at Google Docs – here’s a few ways we love to get ideas that will be sure to reignite your spark in no time!
In this episode, we’re chatting about:
- How getting away from your desk or doing a mindless scroll can spark new ideas
- Tons of ideas for repurposing your content
- Using other accounts and their comments as inspiration
- Applying the trends properly to your business or your clients’ businesses
