How To Triumph Over SEO Writer’s Block

With the profession of search engine optimization, you may end up writing article after article for blogs and websites upon the same subject. Understandably, sometimes you come across the great barrier of writer’s block, which can seem at the time soul destroying. As a SEO consultant and content writer, I on occasion come across this problem and have to try a few of the well practiced and recommended tactics to get my SEO work done. Here’s how I banish writer’s block…

Writer’s Block (WB) Tip 1: If finding new material is becoming somewhat of a problem, turn to thinking about you can put a new spin on your past posts. Think perhaps of new audience or new spin related to the most recent news. For instance, in the last year the biggest spins have been to do with the recession, fashion and the political parties.

WB Tip 2: If in need of ideas, head over to a forum – there you’ll find your target’s audiences regular questions. Finding out what they need to know will help not only overcome your writer’s block but will help you create articles that directly target your audience.

WB Tip 3: Follow fellow SEO experts, as their posts may give you some ideas for your posts. Look for subject ideas and then go away and research it yourself elsewhere and add your unique angle to it. I find having a directory of useful blogs and websites often helps me when I am at a loss.

WB Tip 4: Part of writer’s block is feeling under confident in yourself, overcome this and you’ll feel better and more able to write. Feel confidence in your opinion, and then when it comes to writing a post, you’ll be able to produce a more personal post that asserts your opinions and ideas. Remember your opinion is worth just as much, if validated and researched, as any other SEO or marketing specialist.

WB Tip 5: Widen your research. Sometimes we get so tied in with ideas that we forget to look at the wider picture. Broaden your search for more generalist ideas that can be put together, and you have an article suitable for anyone interested in SEO. For instance, you could research the favourite tactics of SEO consultants and make it into an article.

WB Tip 6: Sometimes, writer’s block is telling you that you need a break, before you can once again use your creativity again. Have a coffee break, go for a walk, a run or on a bike ride to refocus yourself. Do whatever you feel will help your creativity flourish.
