Must Read : 5 Common Blogging Mistakes
List Down Your Ideas
Get a piece of paper or open a blank document in your computer and put down any topics that is related to your business. Don’t censor yourself, just keep the ideas flowing. You can do this every day (my tip for morning larks: do this first thing in the morning) or every week. Remember that no one is watching you while making this list – so no idea is bad or ridiculous. You can always edit this list laterSolve Your Reader’s Problem
No matter how satisfied your readers are with your products and services or the information that you provide in your blog, they will have some questions about it. So compile all these concerns and write one blog post detailing for each of the problem that you want to solve.Go to Online Forums
Visit large online forums and monitor the most popular topics and what are the most common questions that the forum participants ask. You can then write a post based from what you learned from this form.Read a Book
Take one idea from the book and write how you applied that idea. Another option is to review the book – give a synopsis, your opinion about the book and how your readers can benefit from reading this book. If you are not a bibliophile, you can apply the same technique in culling ideas from the latest movies that you’ve seenList Down Your Ideas

I only stick to my niche most of the time. Sometimes, I feel it's kinda boring and I think I need to let out some spark in it. Thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeleteyou're welcome.
DeleteAs for me. it depends on what interests me the most but I have to agree - forums helps!
ReplyDeleteI agree.. It should be at least 1 post per day. I admit I cannot keep up with that. I will do your suggestion and write all ideas (like blog topics) I will be doing for a month. I didn't expect that your simple ways are more of how to be inspired in writing articles
ReplyDeleteExactly my point, consistency must be the first thing to consider before setting up a blog then think og topics like these later on.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list that you've put together. It also helps to stick to topics that you frequently write about - in my case, I usually write about my travels, staycations, restaurants that I've visited. Blog groups also help because I sometimes find something interesting there. I'd also like to add that one can do a monthly or weekly regular thing ( say book club Friday, wordless Wednesday, travel Thursday etc )
ReplyDeleteTrending articles can really be traffic magnet but I guess it's easier when you have a niche.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips. I find going out of the house or reading some articles inspiring when writing a blog post.
ReplyDeleteIdeas or topics to write about are endless, but the interest to write and the strength to do that regularly can be difficult to have all the time.
