Things to do when you run out of ideas to blog

Friday 22 July 2011



As a blogger you might have faced the problem of not getting ideas to blog on every now and then. This is specially true if you are around for more than an year or your blog covers a small niche.Although the definitive solution to this problem would be to plan your blogging beforehand and to choose a bigger niche on which you can blog indefinitely but if you get this problem even after planning and good niche choice then this blog entry is written for you.


First of all I must say that don't panic when you have nothing to write or talk about on your blog.This is quite normal phenomenon and occurs with every single blogger sometime during their blogging career.


OK now I will talk about the tips any blogger should follow if he/ she runout of ideas to write a blogpost.


Read your own blogposts you have written months before -

T
here are very few bloggers who look back to their own posts. Think yourself , how many times you have read your own posts published months back ? Although this will take sometime but this can be fruitful to extract ideas to blog. Once you read out your own post , you get some points you have missed or some updates about the post.

The missed points or updates you notice can be the theme of one of your blog articles.Apart from getting ideas to blog , reading your own post gives you some opportunity to internally link your newer posts with the older ones.


Take a look into the forums and see what questions people are asking -

Forums are very very useful for bloggers as you are able to know what questions are irking people and if you are able to answer them through your blog your work will be appreciated.Just make a list of questions people have asked in forums.

After making a list of questions , see what questions has been answered through one of the blogposts and what questions has not been answered. The questions which has not been answered becomes one of the potential blogpost of your blog.


Read out other blogs of your niche

Many a times I have found ideas for blogging through one fo the posts of other bloggers of same niche as mine. The moment you get something interesting you may write the point on your blog with your own opinion the subject. Here I must say that you must copy the ideas not the word and opinion of other blogger. Be yourself while expressing thoughts on a particular subject.


Have a look at quality article directories

Sometimes I do take a look at some article directories and while browsing through the articles actually I discover some udeas to blog on.This works quite fine for me and I think it will also work for you. The plus point of article directories is that you get multiple articles on multiple subjects which are written by many authors all with their own style.

I would like to emphasize here that don't copy articles from article directories instead write yourself it is good not only for search engine optimization but also for long term success as a blogger.



In short , ideas are there scattered all over place no matter from where you tke it from but always think of ideas or subjects in which people are interested and be original yourself.I would once again repeat one of the things i have said earlier that planning and niche choice will help you not getting burnt out but once you do runout of topics you must take a look around yourself, I am sure something will click in to your mind.
