Are you a content creator? Here is how to get inspired

If you are a content creator, then it goes without saying that content is your bread and butter, but what do you do if you run out of content ideas? ??????

Yes, that happens, and you might find yourself discouraged and ready to throw in the towel.

It happens. It happens to me all the time, and I work hard to overcome it. After I shut down the negative voices in my head, I usually do the following to bring back the inspiration and get content ideas:

?? Browse LinkedIn: The site is filled with rich content from entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and content creators. There is a lot there that can inspire you, whether key findings from a report or lessons learned from an entrepreneur; there is so much content there that can get your creative juices flowing.

?? Analyze the content that you are consuming at the moment. Think of the book you are reading at the moment. Is there a podcast you listened to lately that inspired you? Have you seen a documentary that opened your eyes? All of these can inspire you to share your learnings with your audience.

?? Go to Quora.com and see what questions people are asking. Gauging the current interest will help you come up with ideas.

?? Steal like an artist. This sentence is inspired by Austin Kleon's book with the same title. Look at what people you admire are doing online and get some ideas from them while adding your touch. "Nobody is born with a style or a voice. We don't come out of the womb knowing who we are. In the beginning, we learn by pretending to be our heroes. We learn by copying." - Austin Kleon.

There is a lot of content that still needs to be created, so as Seth Godin says, "Go make a ruckus."
