8 Ways To Come Up With Content Ideas For Your Business

1.Find Inspiration from Others (competitors and outside your niche)

The notion that you have to be original in every post needs to be thrown out the social media window. Finding inspiration from those in your niche and outside your niche helps to develop your creative muscle. Think about how can you spin a specific content idea into something that will help your audience.

Nothing more relatable than being human! Never miss a chance to have a little fun on your social media. Use fun, inspirational or awareness holidays and monthly themes like Mental Health Awareness Month(May) to showcase a little bit more about you and maybe even how you can incorporate it into your products.

3.Repurpose Blog Posts

One of the easiest ways to come up with content is simply by pulling a quote/excerpt and create quote graphics or carousel posts sharing your tips. You can also create long or short-form videos or mini-tutorials from what you mentioned in your blog post. Get inspiration from them or videos you've created and expand on it more. Chances are someone has not viewed your blog posts before so why not get it to eyes that need to see it in different ways.
