Poll Result: The Biggest Problem Writers Face — And My Tips On How To Beat It
My system for dealing with the top issue that content creators come up against.
Introduction
Writing and content creation are endeavors that come with their unique set of challenges.
Being a part time writer, I have experienced some of these first hand, and I know that you have as well.
This got me thinking — which among these problems is the biggest one that content creators face?
What creates problems for creators?
Well, to answer that question, I conducted a poll on Facebook and the results are in:
According to the poll, It seems the problem that most content creators face is a lack of time.
Creating quality content while saving time
Before proceeding I want to point out a few things:
- This poll was about bloggers — but the paucity of time is a problem faced by writers, and indeed content creators in general.
- The tips I provide here are general. While their framing is directed towards bloggers, they can be tweaked (if necessary) and used by many if not all kinds of content creators.
With that out of the way, here are 5 tips that will help you save time while also creating banger content —
I. Use templates for your blog posts.
Creating a template for your blog posts can save you a lot of time in writing. Establish the structure of your post, use headings and subheadings, and fill in the content as needed. This will help you write faster and stay organized.
II. Plan your content in advance.
Instead of starting every post from scratch, plan your content in advance. Create a content calendar and schedule your posts ahead of time. This will help you avoid last-minute writer’s block and save time in the long run.\
III. Repurpose old content.
Don’t let your old blog posts go to waste. Repurpose them into new content by updating statistics, adding new insights, and creating new visuals. This is a great way to save time without sacrificing quality.
IV. Use tools to streamline your workflow.
There are many tools available to help you save time as a blogger. Use tools like Grammarly to check your grammar and spelling, Canva to create visuals, and Hootsuite to schedule social media posts. This will help you automate tasks and focus on creating content.
V. Outsource certain tasks.
If you’re really short on time, consider outsourcing certain tasks. Hire a virtual assistant to help with administrative tasks, or a freelance writer to help create content. This will help you save time and focus on the things that matter most for your blog.
