7 Blog Writing Tips for Overcoming Blogging Burnout 1. Take time to brainstorm. The first tip for combatting blogging burnout is to go on a walk or find a quiet corner in your office and just brainstorm. Brainstorming allows you to immerse yourself in creative thought, and even helps you think outside of the box when it comes to developing new ideas. 2. Read something. You may not be able to take time out of your work day to dive into a book or articles, but reading is an excellent way to source new ideas and overcome burnout. Determine the books or digital content platforms—such as Business2Community—that will help you further your education on topics you’re interested in. Then, read everything you can. 3. Identify when you’re most inspired. Figuring out what time of day you’re most inspired to create new content will go a long way in helping you maximize your creativity. Luckily, science can help! An article from Buffer explains that the best time to write is early in the morning and the best time to get new ideas is right after waking.

This will benefit you both—you’ll have a blog post off of your plate and the guest bloggerwill have created additional content they can link to and promote. 5. Transform old content into new formats. That eBook you wrote a while back? Break it down into five unique blog posts. That PowerPoint presentation you gave last week? Turn it into a Slideshare and embed it into your blog. It’s easy to rework older pieces of content into blog posts, and it takes much less time than sourcing entirely new ideas.

Crowdsourcing—or the sourcing of ideas from your audience or “crowd”—is a great way to get new topic and content ideas that you know your readers want to read about.
