Blogging for Busy Coaches and Consultants: Fill-in-the-blanks?

December 31, 2017 By Patsi Krakoff

There’s no doubt that the costs of NOT blogging (lack of search engine indexing, hard to get found on Web, weak Internet presence) outweigh any excuse  you can come up with. Even if you’re busier than most, if you’re in a service business that depends on creating strong credibility and trust, you need to consistently publish on a blog and update your social media sites to let readers know you’ve published.

The most frequent problem for busy coaches and consultants, however, is “I either don’t know what to write,” or “I have too much to write about. I couldn’t begin to write a 350-word post!”

Our friends over at Hubspot have solved that problem now, with a blog post template. That’s right, it’s a “fill-in-the-blanks” type format anyone can use, like those old paint-by-numbers kits! If you’re stuck and struggle with publishing on your blog 2-3 times a week, start using this template and see if it doesn’t ‘unstick’ you.

First, read the Hubspot post here. Then, copy and paste their template into a word doc. Fill in the blanks, using keywords and real problems that you deal with every day. It will kick start your creativity, for sure. Then, you can always create your own template to use whenever you don’t have a burning topic to write about.
