Have you finally written that killer content strategy plan but just need a little inspiration and kick-start your creativity?
Look, we have all been there before where some days it’s easier to write than others. Like the ideas pour out of your head and onto the keyboard without a moment’s rest. Other days, we are just drawing blanks.
A great way to get those fingers typing is by keeping a tab on industry events and important days. It gives you a great starting point to craft a delicious, scroll-stopping caption for your ideal client.
Get a bit creative and express yourself a little by letting your ideal client know dates that are important to you as well and using something that is specific to your niche.
And because this is something I love to do in my business, I have done the hard work for you and curated a list of key dates for October.
Check them out below.
Happy writing and content planning!
