Stuck for content ideas? Try these handy sources

If you are going into business as a web designer or developer, you’ll need no introduction to the power of content. You’ll most likely be a strong advocate for including a blog in any new website template you sell to a client and you’ll understand how important good content is when it comes to your beautiful site really working hard for your client and delivering conversions.
Content is of course a powerful weapon on your own website – especially if you have just taken up our web site business opportunity and want to win new clients quickly or build SEO rankings. Annoyingly, this is often when writer’s block kicks in! After just a few posts it can be hard to think of fresh ideas to populate your blog and fill your social media channels with compelling information.If you’re sat staring at an annoyingly blank page and flashing cursor, try a few of these tips to generate stellar content ideas every time. #1 Buzzsumo Buzzsumo has both free versions and a paid subscription but, you can start off with the free option to see if it’s a tool you get on well with. Buzzsumo acts like a content search engine of sorts – you tap a topic, keyword or company name into the search bar and it will bring up a list of the most shared posts on that topic. This should provide plenty of inspiration and food for thought if you’re facing writer’s block. #2 Quora Quora is a forum style website where intent users can ask questions about anything and everything. This is especially helpful when it comes to generating Q and A style posts but can also be used to generate content ideas that you know your readers are truly interested in. #3 Blog and social media comments If you don’t have an active community developed around your own brand as yet, you can use your competitor’s social media and blogs when content sleuthing. Look at what kind of comments they are receiving – are there recurring questions? If so, note them down for a possible blog. Or particular topics and posts that generate the most engagement? Those should be recorded for future content development too. #4 Google Trends Google Trends records trending search phrases and will show which stories are trending globally or in a location of your choice. You can browse the most popular articles on the web as a starting point for your own content or, type in a keyword and then look at the break out phrases – these are new variations on that phrase that are growing in popularity. Developing content ideas around those means you’re getting an early start on optimisation in those areas and means you’re well placed to serve user interests.

For modern entrepreneurs, building a sustainable business model is no longer just about chasing the next big sale. The future belongs to recurring revenue — a model that allows you to earn predictable, ongoing income month after month. And for those looking to build freedom, flexibility, and financial stability, it’s a game-changer.
For anyone launching a digital agency today, the smartest move is to start with a business-in-a-box solution like Eazi-Business. It’s not just a tool—it’s a complete solution built to help entrepreneurs hit the ground running, even with no prior tech experience. Here’s the streamlined, modern tech stack Eazi-Business recommends for new agency owners:
Your homepage is your agency’s first handshake. If it’s unclear, cluttered, or generic—you’re losing potential clients in seconds. Here's what your homepage actually needs to convert visitors into leads. 1. A Headline That Tells Them What You Do “Helping local businesses grow with mobile apps and digital tools.” Make it specific, client-focused, and benefit-driven. If it could apply to anyone, it applies to no one. 2. A Strong Subheadline That Builds Trust “Trusted by 1,000+ entrepreneurs across 20 countries.” This is your social proof shortcut. Numbers work. So do logos and testimonials. 3. A Visual That Shows the Result Use mockups, screenshots, or lifestyle photos. Help visitors see what they’ll get—a mobile app, a dashboard, a website, a client smiling. 4. A Short List of Benefits (Not Features) Launch your digital presence fast No tech skills required Support and tools included Keep it tight. Think “what’s in it for me?” from the client’s point of view. 5. A Clear Call to Action (CTA) “Book a free call” “Get your launch pack” “See what’s possible” CTAs should stand out visually and be repeated 2–3 times on the page. 6. A Simple Contact Form or Button Make it easy to get in touch or book. Remove friction. Don’t ask for more than name, email, and one question. Pro tip: You don’t need to design from scratch. The Eazi-Business Business-in-a-Box gives you ready-made homepage templates with proven structure, persuasive copy blocks, and branding flexibility. Use our pre-built website framework to launch with confidence and convert faster.
