Spiritual and Material Content
Did you know that you can break all content down into two categories - spiritual and material?
Sometimes it helps to start big and work your way down to the details. This allows you to look at the bigger picture (and purpose) of your post, and work out the finer points later. This also sets you up for a series of posts or a book.
TIP #12
Is your point helping people and society to improve, or helping people make money? How about interviewing people on these subjects to create more content?
“There are many subjects to podcast about. They are mainly in two categories.
Spiritual i.e. ways and means of becoming a better person and helping to improve the society- virtues takes a big part of this section and our relationship to our Creator and those around us;
Material i.e. how to make money and help others to make money.
In both categories there are few good books that you can review and even Podcast about each chapter.
Perhaps you can also interview the people you admire and have recommended.”

So include the bigger picture as a part of your posts to expand your topics and your audience reach.

Dealing With Mental Blocks
Mental blocks are real and do happen. Find out how to break through them and continue creating good content.
Some people say mental blocks are “all in your head”, and that actually is true. But getting past a mental block is still a real challenge. Below are some tips to break free.
TIP #11
Don’t be afraid to use outside tools when your inside thoughts aren’t enough.
“Honestly, sometimes there is that mental block! Don’t let everyone tell you differently!
I’ve found that checking my website’s statistics for popular search phrases gives me ideas for things to write about, which in turn gives me great content that people are obviously interested in.
I’ve also found that when I’m in the mood to write there’s no issue. When I’m not, it’s like torture. It’s those torturous times that I write about what’s happening around me - so the reading tips from these other experts are great - use them.”

“New content is often awkward. I am having a bit of a slow period myself at the moment on my website, but that is due more to pressure of work than dreaming up new content. What I have done is a few things.
First, look at LinkedIn answers in the area and use it as research material - there is often something controversial commented on. Please give credits, where they are due.
Second, leverage the professional press in your area of expertise. Find an article to critique.
Third, expand a point in an earlier article (thanks to Darren Prowse for this one). http://problogger.net/ ”
