WHAT IS A CREATIVE ROADBLOCK?

When you sit there staring at a blank screen and you know you have to create content but you just do not know what to create, you may have a creative roadblock.

Sometimes a creative roadblock comes about when you are just burnt out, but you have to break through because your content needs to go out.

It is not a good thing to rely on guests because you could lose them during the interview and then you will be stuck with having to fill the time.

WHAT IS A GOOD PROCESS TO WORK THROUGH A CREATIVE ROADBLOCK?

TAKE A BREAK!

Get up from your computer, take a walk, take a nap, maybe just create something for another project, business or personal.

Just play around with your application you use to create your content to give you ideas during your creative roadblock.

A professional HAS TO work through those roadblocks!

When you go for a walk, go to clear your mind instead of going to look for inspiration, it will be easier to find.

You have to be proactive with your creativity. Be creative in other areas away from your computer screen.

Keep a record of ideas as you come up with them so you do not lose them for later.

When you have a creative roadblock go a do something different, but try to make it something not on a computer and not dealing with social media.

Having a style guide will make it easier to make future content to keep them looking like you. This can help with fewer choices and you could hand it off to an assistant to create your content.

If you find yourself at a creative roadblock, do some research on other businesses in your field and see what they are up to.

We are not talking about stealing but study what they are doing and how could something like that work for your business.

It is a good thing to survey your audience for ideas. They will not stick around if you are not giving them what they need.

Instead of using the same free stock photos that EVERYONE is using, try and stand out and find something different.

Be more concerned with interacting with your audience than trying to go live everywhere.
