Here’s How You’re Going to Beat Content Constipation

And get the flow going again…

Up until now you’ve probably struggled with “Content Constipation” — coming up with consistently fresh ideas for your content.

And that’s not even the worst part! The problem gets worse when you realize that eventually many content creators give up and do not get their life changing message out to the world.

Sadly it’s not even your fault. No one has shown you how to beat content constipation and consistently come up with fresh content ideas.

After getting this content, from now on you’ll be able to beat and even avoid content constipation and consistently come up with fresh content ideas.

Over the 27+ years of doing this daily, I’ve noticed that many go through 3 stages in their struggle to come up with fresh content ideas.

Let’s take a closer look at those three stages and more importantly, what to do about each one.

3 Stages of Content Constipation

Content Constipation Stage 1: Ideas are not flowing

When you sit down to create content you have to repeatedly stop and think about what to write about. The flow has not stopped, it’s just not as easy as it normally is for you.

What to Do: Step back and brainstorm. Make a list of content ideas. Don’t edit. Just brainstorm. This is something you need to be doing anyway, so you always have a list of fresh content ideas from which to pull.

Content Constipation Stage 2: Ideas are a struggle

Even when you look at your list of ideas, nothing pops out for you. It feels like you are seeing the ideas on a list, but they are not making sense in your head, and not making the trip from your head to your fingers.

What to Do

Take a trip to your supermarket and check out the titles on the covers of the magazines in the checkout line. Thousands of dollars have been spent deciding how to title these articles. Find titles that you can use in your niche and get busy creating great content.

Content Constipation Stage 3: You are beginning to believe in writer’s block… even though you know it does not exist. Ideas are not only not flowing, ideas are just plain stuck. Your frustration level is high, and you’re honestly getting a little bit frightened by your lack of fresh content ideas.

What to Do

Go to your topic in Medium or EzineArticles and look at some of the top articles in your niche. See which ones are getting lots of traffic.

Choose an idea that you know will appeal to your community and simply do a better job with it.

This is not plagiarism. This is research because you are simply looking for ideas. You are not copying what someone else has said, you are just going to do a better treatment of it because of your skills.
