90 Evergreen Blog Writing Prompts Just for Creative Entrepreneurs
You’re ready to blog with a purpose. Finally, you have time to sit down and write. But…write about what? Your mind is as blank as the screen in front of you.
Writer’s block happens to all of us, whether you write for a living, as a hobby, or only when you have to. Sometimes you just need to get out a few rough sentences or find something to spark your creative juices, like a list of inspiring blog writing prompts.
“You can’t think yourself out of a writing block; you have to write yourself out of a thinking block.”
— John Rogers (screenwriter, comedian, film producer, comic book writer)
As a creative entrepreneur, a blog is a great place to share your journey with fans of your work. That journey includes your knowledge, inspiration, and experience. Past and present, good and bad are all great fodder for writing. This is your chance to embrace your passion for your craft and share it with the people dying to understand how you come up with your ideas and create the wonderful things they love.
What makes these prompts specific for creative entrepreneurs?
There are hundreds of lists out there full of general blog writing prompts. Most of them are curated for people aspiring to be professional bloggers — in other words, their blog is their business and their main source of income. But for creative entrepreneurs, a blog is a marketing tool that functions more like a corporate blog. It offers a way to connect with your audience, talk about your creative projects (both finished and in-progress), and highlight your knowledge and perspective within your creative field.
That said, here’s what you WON’T find in these writing prompts:
Generic lifestyle content
Prompts related to food, diet, weight loss, or exercise
Niche topics
How to achieve success/riches guides and schemes
Instead, you’ll find topics centered on talking about your creative work, your experience in your creative field, and your journey as a creative. Whether you’re an author, comic artist, musician, painter, photographer, filmmaker, WHATEVER, these prompts work whether you’ve made money from your creative work or you’re working toward that stage of your career.
Not every prompt will resonate with or inspire you. That’s okay! Some might give you ideas for social media content rather than a blog post. Excellent! Some could even inspire multiple things to write about. What could be better than that?!
If a blog is part of your overall marketing effort to promote your creative work, these prompts are for you.
