AnswerThePublic
This tool is a game-changer when it comes to generating content ideas. All you need to do is enter a keyword related to your business, and voila! You'll get tons of questions people are asking about the topic. Use these questions as the basis for your content, and you'll be sure to hit the mark with your audience.
Who knew that a forum-based site could be such a goldmine for content creators? By joining subreddits related to your field, you can find out exactly what your target audience is looking for. Start by going to a relevant subreddit and search for phrases that indicate a problem. For example, above I searched the phrase, “How do I…” in r/RealEstate and received a bunch of real questions people are currently asking. You can use this to create tailored content that meets the needs of your audience — they’ll sure appreciate it!
Exploding Topics
This amazing tool uses a trend-spotting algorithm that can help you identify topics before they "explode" in popularity. By sorting by time frame, category, and/or plugging in your keyword of interest into the database, you can identify hot topics and be the first one to talk about something!
Comments
Here's a tip that doesn't require a tool — just find a content creator you admire and read through their comments. In the above example, I searched for YouTube comments that I could turn into content, but you can source comments from any kind of social media platform. How you do it is simple: look for what people are saying is missing, and create content answering those questions.
Google Images
Did you know that Google Images can be a fantastic source of content inspiration? When you search for a topic, Google provides tags on top that can give you ideas for your content. So go ahead and use those tags as inspiration to create content that your audience will love.
TikTok Search Engine
If you're looking for a more fun and trendy way to find content ideas, the TikTok search engine is your answer! You can see the most popular search terms and click on a term to see more related search terms. Get inspired and create content that speaks to the latest trends.
Google Search Bar
As one of the most powerful tools for content creation, Google Search Bar can help you generate content ideas in no time. As you start typing in the search bar, Google will suggest things that people have been searching for. You can also find a "people also ask" section and "related searches" section that can give you more ideas.
Ahrefs Free Keyword Generator
This tool can help you generate keyword ideas quickly and easily. By searching for your keyword, you can take a look at the phrase matches Ahrefs suggests and their KD (keyword difficulty) to give you an idea of how difficult it is to rank for that phrase. Once you identify a promising keyword with low competition, start creating that content!
Pinterest Trends
Pinterest is a social media platform that is all about inspiration and ideas, making it an excellent resource for content creators. Use Pinterest Trends to identify what's currently popular on the platform. Start by understanding your niche and ideal client, write down things they might search for, and type them into Pinterest Trends. You'll get to see related trends, interest in the topic over time, demographics, and popular pins that utilize the keyword — giving you ample inspiration to create content.
So there you have it, folks! With these amazing free content creation tools, you'll be able to generate tons of ideas quickly and easily. Plus, you'll save a ton of time that you can use to focus on creating amazing content that your audience will love.
