It happens to all of us. We sit at our computers feeling completely blank, uninspired, unmotivated for what to put out into the world. Days turn into weeks and the pressure mounts. Now it’s been so long you feel you HAVE TO put out something amazing!!
I know this cycle all too well! Which is why I’m working on changing things up around here. With the end of the year quickly approaching I’ve been reviewing and reflecting to see what’s been working and what definitely needs some tweaking in my business.
Content creation is definitely one of those areas! My goal is to be more consistent, streamlined, organized and purposeful with the content I create whether it’s for blog posts, Instagram, Facebook or my emails.
Sometimes all you need to get the creative juices flowing is a little trigger which is why I did my research and created a calendar for January with some fun offbeat holidays that we can use to jump start our content creation.
I’m more than happy to share this calendar with you so it will hopefully make your biz life a bit easier too. As you look through the holidays, see which ones resonate with both you and your audience. Start looking through your photos to see which ones you can use for the posts.
Let’s go through some as examples to see how you can relate these holidays to content creation:
January 2 – Motivation & Inspiration Day
- Post your favorite inspirational quote
- Photographers – What inspires you to come up with creative photo shoots? What are you inspired by outside your industry?
