Find Things To Blog About – Run Out Of Blog Post Ideas?

Now and then everyone runs out of blog post ideas, I have had huge cases of writers block before where you just can’t think of anything to post about no matter what you try. When this happens though, there are several different ways I use to think up a good solid topic to blog about. It has to be an important thing to say because no one wants to read a pointless blog post, right? Finding a topic to blog about that you actually have something to say about can be the hardest part.

So I usually follow a few simple steps to help think up a great thing to blog about. I think this will help you out because for most bloggers writers block can be a big killer, I have a remedy to get past just that!

1) Write All You’re Ideas Down Ahead Of Time! During the day you will always think of great things to blog about but when it comes time to write about them you just can’t quite remember what it is, that where a blog post list comes in. So whenever you come up with a great idea write it down somewhere, a napkin, your hand, anything will work! That way you will almost always have a good topic to write about. I usually keep a notepad widget on my computers sidebar open for these ideas.

2) Answer A Question. There are countless questions out there; you are guaranteed to find one you can answer that is related to your blog topic. Write a quick blog post and answer the question in great detail and Bam you will have your blog post, plus people love to have their questions answered and search engines also love them.

3) Write About Something In Google’s Top 100 Searches List. Have you ever heard of the search engines things like “top 100 searches”? They are pages that will show the top 100 searches of that day. Check out Google’s Hottrends page here. Pick one of those topics and be guaranteed traffic from Google. Also people will love to find these topics on the internet quickly.

4) Read On Forums For Topics And Ideas. Forums and other social sites have lots of open things to write about. Often you can write a blog post about one of the topics in a thread then post a link back to your blog post in the thread and you will be sure to get some visits from that link. Very easy traffic!

5) Get Some Sleep. If you are right out of ideas for a blog post and have nothing helpful or intelligent to say, just head to bed and get a fresh start on tomorrow. When you’re exhausted it’s even harder to think of an idea, so you will need a good night’s sleep.

Follow these steps and I am sure you will find a great topic to blog about!

Happy Bloggin!
