I get this question a lot (and sometimes, ask it to myself). I've even shared my quick answer to reawaken your blogging (Just Dive In!).
I think one reason it's so hard to get out of the rough, is you want to come out with a bang. Actually, it's better to dive in like nothing was missing (and don't apologize for the lack of posting)
Here's a bit more depth on what you can do to kick things back in gear:
- Post a Numbered List: Readers love numbered lists. Easy to read. Great to share. Best yet, readers can add to the list – so it's a conversation starter.
- Create a Single Slide: You've seen them here now and again. Scott McLeod and Darren Draper also do this occasionally
- Produce an Audio or Video Piece: Doesn't have to be fancy — in fact, the short the better. Here's a simple one I did (and I may do it again later)
- Do a Book Review: In fact, you can use the C in SCAMPER and do a book review in a slide show (love this idea!!)
- Run a Poll on Twitter: Use Twtpoll and post the results.
- Use Someone Else's Content: Yep – Steal it (and give them attribution of course). Embed a YouTube video or a SlideShare presentation. Find the author's web site and link to that too!
There ya go. Whatchya waiting for? Let's get started, eh?

Find Your Social Media ROI
I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.
