I hope everyone has been well and is using this time to rest during quarantine. Rona is truly interrupting how some content creators shoot their content. I’m here to let you know that this virus does not have to get in the way of your creative flow and interrupt your consistency. We can still tap into our creativity even through we are home in our PJ’s all day.
When I found out we would be inside for next two months, I thought to myself, damn How am I going to shoot content to ensure I stay consistent. I immediately grew worried instead of finding other alternatives to my current situation. After giving it much thought, I came up with 16 (now it’s 20) different content ideas for bloggers to shoot/post during quarantine. I feel like this is super relevant because it is so easy to want to fall back. But no! Just because the world has stopped doesn’t mean consistency with our content has to. I’ve equipped you with some ideas below let me know if you end up using any of these. These tips are useful for entrepreneurs too.
Now is the time to get creative! Shoot a photo of yourself engaging in a self-care activity
This could be anything from reading a book, to taking a pic of yourself in a bubble with some wine! You can make content out of so many things you do in your day to day.
Selfies
You can never go wrong with a selfie! Show your followers an up close and personal view of you! It can lead to really great engagement if you write an engaging caption to go along with it.
Post A Throwback pic– You could never go wrong with a throwback pic of you and your girls.
Take Pictures in the Park (This excludes anyone in NYC, I would strongly suggest not going outside if you’re in NYC to take pictures) You have to get creative and utilize the environment around us To prevent the spread, I would recommend going early in the morning when there are less people.

I’ve seen bloggers get so creative! You have to deal with the situation we’re in and make the most out of it. Corona will not interrupt our consistency.
As you can see, a lot of what I recommend is what we’re already doing on some of our pages. I would recommend trying to schedule your content around some of these ideas so you can continue to remain consistent with your content. I’m sure there are several other topics you can create content around. Leave a comment below if you can think of a content idea I did not mention.
