“What To Talk About When There’s Nothing to Say,” from the authors of Content Rules
How do you create content when you don’t have breaking news to share regularly? If you want to remain relevant, you need to find a way to converse much more frequently than when you have big news. Consider these approaches when you’re ready to talk and want something to say:
CHAT WITH CUSTOMERS
Ask customers a single question, such as “What’s your biggest marketing challenge?” or “What’s a strategy you used to grow your business this year?”
INTERVIEW LUMINARIES
Q & A interviews with thought leaders, strategic partners, or flat-out interesting creative thinkers make for compelling text, audio, or video content.
SHARE REAL-TIME PHOTOS
Upload photos from industry events, meetups, or other gatherings. Fresh content matters here, and the faster you can get your photos up, the more likely they will be shared.
TRAWL INDUSTRY NEWS
Share an opinion about a recent news story that’s affecting your industry or audience. Be timely; you could benefit from the extra boost of being one of the first to comment on the topic.
GO BEHIND THE SCENES
Show things that your readers or followers don’t usually get to see. Share photos that give an insider’s view of your company, or tease some new, compelling content, product or event that you’ll be launching soon.
ATTEND AN EVENT
Take session notes, conduct interviews, or take photos. Real-time blog or tweet the sessions that offer value to your community, and share with your audience what you learned, enjoyed, or were surprised at.
SHARE BEST PRACTICES OR TIPS
People are always looking for efficiencies, and this type of content is always highly useful and shareable.
INVITE GUEST POSTS
Give your readers or employees or an expert in the industry the chance to guest post for your blog. Don’t limit yourself to written content.
