Tips for creating killer content: keep a content backlog & style bank

     Regular blogging is a cornerstone of inbound marketing, so make sure you’ve got plenty of ideas on hand for updating your blog at least daily. Keep a backlog of the topics you want to cover. Style banks present another great tool to facilitate your writing strategy. Style banks generally encompass writing templates and design ideas that result in fresh and compelling content.
     Ideas for your blog style bank include:
  • Bulleted lists
  • Book, movie, and product reviews
  • Photos and captions
  • Videos
  • How-to guides
  • Interviews
     The style bank is a great resource for your occasional blog contributors and ebook authors, who might not know where to start when they’ve been assigned a piece of content. Your backlog will also help your more frequent contributors get over occasional bouts of writers block.
