Content block? 5 ideas to help you to create social posts when you’re feeling stuck
As a business-to-business (B2B) company, it can be challenging to create fresh, purposeful social media content when selling a product.

Over 12 months, with three-plus posts to a variety of platforms each week and multiple companies to plan for each day, keeping content fresh and consistent requires discipline, creativity, and strategy.

Hey, you, get off of my cloud.
Aside from being a great Rolling Stones refrain, that line is a great intro to this blog post. Have you done a “word cloud” lately? There are some wonderful tools out there to help demonstrate in a visual way, what your web content, resume, or blog post is really focused on. When working on web content, or any content for that matter, we are constantly reminding clients about key words. While we don’t want articles or content to be overbearingly key word rich, we do want our content to be energized, if you will by terms for which someone might search. Enter wordle.net, a word cloud generator. You can enter in an article or resume, or web page text, etc. and create a word picture that shows what words are emphasized most. Artistic and smart. . . or at least a good way to check your content.
