7 Types of Posts You Can Write When You're Lacking Ideas for New Articles
Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2024 6:59 am
I'm not always in top form to publish a post. On some days, the pressure I've put on myself to publish an article every day blocks me a bit. In this case, I usually have some wild cards that I can always use when the rest fail.

Today is one of those days. It's late and I'm tired. I have a long list of ideas for posts but I really don't feel inspired to finish any of them. It's not the first time this has happened to me, nor will it be the last. In 2012 I have the challenge of publishing a post every day. It's not easy but if you want to achieve something it's always hard. So there are no excuses for not publishing today.
Generating new ideas for posts
Whenever I have one of these moments, I have to write an journalist emails article that doesn't require too much creative effort since I'm not in the right mood. I also have to be careful not to write something that is of low quality and at least not far from the average level of this blog. I use the following types of posts:
Announcing a series of posts : Post series are a way to attract repeat visitors to your blog. I usually have several ideas written down and whenever I'm not feeling very inspired I use this wildcard to be able to publish a post every day.
Aggregating existing posts into a series : Sometimes you find that several posts you've written cover the same topic but from different perspectives. In this case, you can write an article that references all of them and also allows readers to easily read them.
List of 10 words : this type of post is quick to write and usually gives very good results. I usually put 1 word that is accompanied by 1-2 explanatory sentences. “10 verbs for entrepreneurship” is an example for this type of post.
List with +20 points : another similar type of post is creating lists with short tips on any topic. Since you don’t have to write a lot of text around the points, this can be an easy way to create a post. An example of this type of post is “33 short tips to create better content on your blog” .
