We’ve been there, friend.
It can be frustrating not being able to come up with content ideas that will serve your audience well.
>>You know you need to post to market your business… you know the key to growth is consistency… but sometimes the ideas just aren’t flowing.<<
Even though it can feel frustrating, we’ve gotten better at handling these ‘writer’s block’ moments with a nifty hack we’d like to share with you today.
Are you ready? Here it is...
Amazon book reviews.
*Yep, you read that right!*
Reading Amazon book reviews is one of the best (albeit unexpected) ways to come up with content ideas for your business!
Here’s how to do it:
Type a keyword related to your business in the search bar of Amazon.com
Click the dropdown arrow to the left of the search bar and filter the search bar by “Books”
Read through the reviews of the first few books that come up
>>Chances are, these reviewers are your ideal client and their comments will spark future content ideas for you!<<
*Pro tip: 1 and 2-star reviews that begin with, “I wish this book covered…” are a GOLD MINE of content ideas. Imagine if you could take all of those recommendations and turn them into blogs, newsletters, social media posts, Reels, and more?!*
Let’s look at an example for a henna artist.
In the 2-star reviews for the second book that appeared on our search, these quotes stood out as potential content ideas:
Review: “What I don't care for is the lack of detailed explanation as to why the addition of the essential oils of "seeds of any kind" will make the henna application darker.”
Content Idea: How to blend certain oils and seeds to adjust your henna application color.
Review: “The book is very informative but when we went to use the henna there was no real colour left on the skin.”
Content Idea: How to elongate the color of your henna
Review: “I wish it had more beginner's patterns rather than just pictures with complicated drawings.”
Content Idea: Henna designs for beginner, intermediate, and advanced artists.
See? In just a few moments, we have 3 content ideas from 3 different 2-star Amazon book reviews. Easy as pie!
