Looking for help with generating content for your blog?

19th September 2025

Running out of blog ideas? Don’t let your content dry up! What if I told you there’s a simple way to generate 40 fresh blog posts in just 5 minutes?

This isn’t a trick—it’s a simple, effective brainstorming technique. Just grab a sheet of paper and follow these steps:

blog ideas brainstorming

Take a piece of paper, ideally A4 or larger.

  1. Write “BLOG” in the centre of the page.

  2. Draw four lines pointing to the corners.

  3. Label each corner with one of these headings:

    • ME (top left)

    • KNOWLEDGE (top right)

    • CLIENTS (bottom left)

    • FAQs (bottom right)

Now, let’s get those ideas flowing!

  • ME: Tell your story! Share how you started your VA business, who you are, and how you work. Posts or videos about you help clients connect with the person behind the business.

  • KNOWLEDGE: Show your expertise. Share valuable insights, great apps you use, or new industry trends.

  • CLIENTS: Feature a client of the week, share specific problems you’ve solved for others, or invite a client to write a guest post.

  • FAQs: Turn your most common questions into a weekly series. This saves you time and gives your audience the answers they need.

Aim for at least 10 ideas under each heading. With this simple map, you’ll have a wealth of content to keep your blog active and engaging for months to come.
