If you’re a blogger, then one of your biggest challenges is likely coming up with fresh blog post ideas regularly. Even if you love to write and serve your readers, it can seem like an uphill battle creating a nonstop stream of blog content!
Can you relate? Have you ever struggled to create new blog content? If so, then you should read this blog. We’re about to wargame 3 cool ways SEMRush can help you smash writer’s block, even if you feel overwhelmed or uninspired.
3 Ways SEMRush Can Help Bloggers Smash Writer’s Block:
- # 1 – The Keyword Magic Tool
- # 2 – Traffic Analytics
- # 3 – Backlinks Analytics
As someone who has spent countless amounts of time writing here on the humble MrComputerScience.com blog, I’ve devoted much thought to blog writing and content creation. That’s why I’m so enthusiastic to share these three blog creativity methods that rock for bloggers and writers of all descriptions.
Let’s take a look at the three cool ways that SEMRush can help you smash writer’s block, shall we?
# 1 – The Keyword Magic Tool
When you’re suffering from writer’s block, one of the last things in the world you want to deal with is trying to create significant blog post content for your website. Brainstorming new content ideas regularly can seem like an ordeal at best, and a nightmare at worst!
That’s why the SEMRush Keyword Magic Tool is a stroke of genius for struggling bloggers. If you’re ever lost, stuck, or can’t think of any fresh blog post ideas, then you might love the Keyword Magic Tool.
The main reason the Keyword Magic Tool rocks is because you can easily tap into over 20,000,000 keyword ideas. The tool also allows you to analyze search volume, ranking difficulty, cost per click, and more.
The Keyword Magic Tool is one of SEMRush’s coolest ways to help quickly brainstorm and wargame a massive list of content ideas, and I challenge you to give it a try if you’re suffering from writer’s block.
# 2 – Traffic Analytics
One of the best ways to become inspired to write is to figure out what content your prospective readers are already reading, clicking, and consuming!
Because here’s the hard truth I’ve learned as a blogger. Blogging is a ton of work! It’s a lot more work than most blogging experts or gurus will reveal.
Blogging is for those strongwilled writers only! Because one of the most depressing things in the world is when you exert yourself over a fresh piece of content only to have that content attract zero clicks, visitors, readers, fans, or engagement.
That’s why I think the traffic analytics features of SEMRush are a substantial deal for bloggers. Not only can you figure out what your readers love to read, but you can also spy on your competitors to learn more about their website’s performance.
Use these invaluable insights and analytics to figure out what type of content is popular at the moment. Then, try your best to create even better content! In other words, strive to write fresh content that surpasses or brushes upon topics or nuances that other articles and blog posts neglect.
# 3 – Backlinks Analytics
In my humble opinion, nothing can skyrocket your confidence as a blogger quite like other blogs and websites linking back to your extraordinary blog posts!
That said, acquiring and earning a backlink is very challenging, as I’ve learned the hard way over the years. Every backlink is worthy of a toast, and celebration!
That’s why I propose SEMRush’s nifty deep link analysis features.
With deep link analysis, you can search for backlinks identified across the web for any domain or specific URL that you choose. That way, you can reverse engineer the top content of different blogs, websites, small business owners, and competitors. You can use this data to try to gather intelligence on which content others find the most helpful, and also where other blogs generate their authoritative backlinks.
Armed with this knowledge, you’ll have a much better idea of what types of content generate backlinks, so you can focus your energy on creating similar, or daresay superior content! Hopefully, your superior content can also entice others to link to your content. One can wish, right?
In any event, all of these features are ultimately made to help skyrocket your confidence. As someone who has written on the humble MrComputerScience.com blog for years, I can attest that confidence, inspiration, and motivation are everything in the world of writing.
In the absence of confidence, I can promise you, that writer’s block is a critical challenge! However, if you’re properly motivated and confident? Then you’ll shrug off writer’s block without hesitation!
Blog Creation And Blog Writing FAQ
I’m fortunate and delighted to share some of the most common blogging and writing FAQs that I’ve encountered over the years. Join me as I answer the questions with endearing vigor!
# 1 – How Can I Write Blog Posts Faster?
The best answer is to practice writing every day. The more time you put forth practicing your writing and blogging, the more you’ll begin to write, type, edit, and craft your magic with expedience!
I know a lot of my associates and friends have told me that it’s too challenging to write daily. If you can relate, then I dare you to stop what you’re doing right now and write! Why not challenge yourself to write for 5 or 10 minutes per day? Or, you can take your challenge further and try to write a 500 blog post every day.
Start now! Break out your favorite notepad or word processor and write whatever’s on your mind. Write about the top change in your niche or industry over the last 6 months. Or, write about whatever news topic is popular at the moment. Write anything, and continue practicing daily!
# 2 – What’s The Best Way To Improve My Blog Writing Skills?
Reading and writing are the two best ways to improve your writing for blog posts or any form of writing. I’m also a huge fan of tools like Grammarly and the Hemingway App to help find typos and grammatical errors. However, fancy apps aside, I would say frequent reading and writing practice are both keys to improving your blogging skills.
If you can’t find the motivation to write, or if you’re still suffering from writer’s block, then here’s another beautiful writing exercise. I challenge you to write the top 10 problems that your audience is experiencing right now.
Another big tip is to ask yourself what content your audience wants you to write. Consider asking your beloved and cherished newsletter or blog readers for suggestions. Send an email to your subscribers, ask them on social media, or invite them to connect via your blog comments.
If you’ve ever felt unsure how to create fresh content regularly, or if you’re not sure what content to write next, another tip is to consider looking closely at your traffic analytics! What content and blog posts do your website visitors love to read? Consider creating more content along similar lines!
# 3 – Is SEMRush Free?
SEMRush isn’t free per se. However, you can certainly try SEMRush free for 7-days. During that time, you’ll get a much better idea as to how straightforward the service is to use, and you’ll probably have a ton of fun experimenting with the many SEO, search, and content marketing features.
# 4 – Does SEMRush Work On MAC OS?

In other words, yes, SEMRursh works beautifully across devices. Therefore, whether you’re using Windows, Linux, or MAC, SEMRush is straightforward to access and use.
