The Finer Details of Episode 80 include how to keep your content fresh and how to come up with story ideas when you aren’t traveling. In this episode I share how we can all create experiences that are blog worthy, even when we aren’t on the road! Here are a few of the ideas mentioned in the show or listen now!
Content Creation Ideas When Not Traveling
- Hometown Media Trip How to look at your hometown with a fresh perspective. Seek out your towns hidden gems. Think what you would tell a friend or family member to do if they visited and you weren’t in town.
- Schedule Nearby Group Day Trips Find a few other travel bloggers or photographer or travel lovers and schedule day trips.
- Expand Coverage on Most Popular Articles Check Google Analytics for most popular articles and SEMrush for keywords you are ranking for and brainstorm a few new articles that would support the original coverage.
- Optimize Current Articles & Add Affiliate Links
- Write a Listicle Based on previous content create a new article that offers a list of ideas for the location.
- Think Forward! What are the next big holiday’s you could write about?
- Add Story Ideas in WordPress as a Draft During times of inspiration, add all your new story ideas to WordPress as a draft. Then during these slower times, you can come back and write the article.
- Use PR Emails for Inspiration
- Connect with Your Local Tourism Board Call or email and ask what is new and what they would love more coverage on. Great opportunity to connect with local PR!
- Google “Weird” Do a few searches for your city or state name plus the word weird or to find some interesting things you may have never heard of!
