Quick Cure for Writer’s Block: 3 Questions to Ask Yourself to Unlock the Block

Last Updated:7 years ago By Debra Garber Time to Read: 1 minute

Drawing a blank on blog content? With the help of a post found on Quora, here are three quick questions to ask yourself about what your audience wants to read and share and six tools to help you along the way to a great blog post.

Blank WordPress blog post. Word count zero.

1. Who is your target audience and what content are they consuming?

The best way to find out what sort of content your audience wants is to interact with your audience.

Closely observe what sort of questions they ask and what sort of answers they respond to.

Or, be bold. Ask them what content they want, need or wish they had access to. 

FREE tools: Twitter, Quora, Google Analytics

Paid Tool (with a free trial period): Simply Measured – Determine what your target audience is talking about on social so you can join the conversation.

2. What are your competitors posting?

What other blogs target the same audience as you and what are they writing about? Look at the top posts on those blogs to get an idea of what your audience likes to read, then write more advanced posts on those same topics.

3. What content is trending?
