Coming Up With Content Ideas For Blog Posts

When you're getting started with blogging, sometimes

it can be difficult to come up with enough topics to

write about.

This can be a form of writer's block that prevents you

from even deciding on a topic to write about.

However, if you know the right places to look, you

will discover that the topics you can write about really

are unlimited.

The first thing you should do is start a list.

Anytime you come up with an idea for a future post,

write it down somewhere.

You should even keep a paper and pencil next to

your bed because sometimes the best ideas happen

late at night or when you first wake up.

You may think that you will be able to remember

your great idea, but it usually doesn't happen that way

- write it down.

You should also keep this list visible as a constant

reminder that you're looking for possible topics.

Once you get into a habit of keeping track of your

ideas, your list will eventually become large enough so

you have multiple topics to pick from.

Visiting several websites that are related to your topic

is another way to come up with ideas for your blog.

An easy way to do this is to subscribe to an RSS feed

or set your home page to show the latest headlines

from these websites.

Once a week, scan the headlines and look for ideas to

add to your list.

Sometimes it will be helpful to also keep track of the

url for the article you saw to use as a reference when

you start writing your blog post.

 

In my next email to you I will explain how to write

killer headlines to capture your visitor's interest.

 

Warm Regards,
