Guest Post – 5 Ways to Create Blog Content Quickly When You’re Crunched for Time
In a time crunch but need to get a new blog post out? Try one of these quick ideas.
1. Share a video
YouTube and TED Talks are both great sources for finding videos to share on your blog. Choose a topic your readers are interested in, then search by keyword and see what videos come up.
Add a few of your own thoughts on the topic and a question to get discussion going.
2. Write a quick review
Read a great business book recently? Discovered a helpful blog? Downloaded a freebie that solved a problem for you? Write a post pointing your readers to that resource.
A review can be simple – introduce the book/blog/freebie, share a couple of reasons you found it useful or a few tips you learned from it, and link your readers to where they can grab a copy.
3. Reprint an article
Directories like www.WAHM-Articles.com contain thousands of articles you can legally share on your blog. Add an introductory paragraph explaining why you’re sharing the particular article you chose, followed by the article and author’s credit.
4. Check with products/programs you promote as an affiliate
Smart affiliate programs offer their affiliates a variety of promotional tools, often including articles or blog posts for reprint. Take a look at what products you’ve promoted, or love and would be willing to promote, and see what resources are available.
5. Repurpose your existing content
If you’ve been blogging a while, you can repurpose older content by:
• Updating an older article with current or additional information
• Creating a themed post where you link back to 4 or 5 related posts
• Turn a written post into an audio or video post
