How to cure your writer's block in less than 2 minutes

So work starts winding down and silly season is in full swing for everyone but you! Your heart is aching to ditch work and go to the beach but you saving your leave days for that well-deserved break in January. Whatever your reasons are for still being stuck at work, you can't deny that you still ha ve quite a bit of content to produce for the rest of the month! In fact, you pretty sure your masterpieces won't even be read! Here's where you wrong...

Stop and smell the opportunity

Let's face it companies may close down (except for digital industry of course) but in doing so a small window of opportunity opens up for content marketers. Users spend less time at work and what do you think they will be doing with this new found freedom? Trolling their favourite social media platforms or blogs! Yip, the uncanny truth is that most people have their smartphones surgically attached to their hands these days. So we might as well take advantage of the opportunity and give theses sheep wonderful people what they want, i.e. ENTERTAINMENT!!!

Enter plea for inspiration

Opportunity and cause for writing have been identified but you still can't possibly think of anything clever to write about! You all tapped out for fresh ideas and you even getting radio silence from your imaginary friends -they probably at the beach and left their phones in the car! Meh! Solution: Content idea generators! Yes, these tools do exist! They will whisper sweet nothings in your ears and get you writing as easy as Sunday morning! Here are a few of my favourite tools that help when my days are dark!
