Just Give Me Something to Blog About…

Been blogging for a while and running out of ideas?

Here are some thoughts to stop writer’s block and get you back on the path to blogging!

• Subscribe to newsletters related to your topic. Pick a hot story of the day and offer your unique take on it.
• Post an interesting article you read or even better, help another blogger, and share one of their blog posts that you enjoyed.
• Recycle existing content
• • If you’re writing an email to a client explaining something, consider turning it into a blog post!
  • Got an email newsletter? Chop it up and rework it into a blog post with a more conversational tone.

• Provide helpful, step-by-step, information on how to do something (like this post). People want help and tips and this will keep them coming back to your blog.
• Share the love — give your spin on someone else’s topical post with a link.
• Interview people and include them as profiles. This will help build your readership (because they’ll tell everyone they know to read your post about them) and gives you a break. All you have to do is send them a list of questions and let them answer!
• Ask a question or post a poll. Let your readers weigh in on a hot topic.
• Post a photo from an event you attended with a quick one-liner or share a video.
• Keep a notebook with you always to jot down ideas as they come to you. This way, you’ll never run out of topics! I’ve got a list a mile long of things to blog about. Hope that becomes your problem too.

Any other ideas out there about what you can write about or how to brainstorm topics?
