I don’t know about you but at this time of year my energy and inspiration are running low. Something to do with long, dark nights in the northern hemisphere and being stuck in the depths of winter…
If that’s you too then I have a treat in store because I’ve gathered together a bunch of sources of inspiration to infuse your marketing with new oomph (and hopefully you).
Starting with great places to find inspiration for your content and social media marketing and one of my favourite ever resources, Buzzsumo.
Simply enter a keyword or domain and it will spit out all kinds of fabulous stuff:
Then there is the wonderful Scoop.It where you curate and share your own personalised content:
And the brilliant Reddit where you can either just go see what’s trending:
Or dig into the Popular Communities on the right of the home page – here, for instance, is the Fitness community:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/
And the relationship advice community – great if you’re in a related niche:
https://www.reddit.com/r/relationship_advice/
Dig around in sub-reddits and you’ll find endless sources of content, inspiration and research material.
Then there is one of my favourite tools, Pocket, which helps you find, curate and save content from everywhere to use on your own sites and in your social media posts:
The Inspiration tool from Social Bakers is another firm favourite and as easy as typing in a keyword to be inundated with inspiration:
