Regularly updated blogs attract regular visitors, and this is well known now a days as it has been repeated in almost all MMO(Make Money Online) blogs as well as every online marketing blogs in different languages. Most probably, one would say, I also have done just that now.
While benefits of updating blog with new and quality contents helps increase both visitors and blog earning, finding new ideas for next blog post is not easy, at least for me. First point is, it may not help updating blog with any kind of post, just for the heck of it! It may work other way around, even regular readers would stop visiting the site! I have been using few tricks for getting ideas for my future blog posts:-
1. Writing down every idea that comes to mind anytime during my waking hours
- I have started noting down every idea that comes to my mind whole day and night. I use my mobile ( well, I find it in my pockets everywhere I go including bathroom.) to note down the thought or idea. More specifically, I type the idea in “NEW TEXT MESSAGE” and save in the draft.
- I read them back when I have time to write a new post for my blog. This has helped me never lose an idea as ideas may come and go any time during the day.
2. Search Google, Yahoo, Bing with keywords those interest me
- I regularly search Google for keywords about which I decide to write in my next post. I normally search the same term in more than one search engine. I also search in Bing, Yahoo, in Digg, Forums etc. They give out different sites which gives many ideas.
- I never copy contents from those search results, but I surely read those articles. And then try to think what they have missed out. I note down those and plan to write my next post.
3. Read comments on my blogs as well as others
- I read comments on my old posts. Some times, they supply me with interesting ideas for my next blog post.
- I also read old posts in others blog, normally in blogs similar to mine and read their comments. Comments surely provide many ideas which are easier to convert to article.
I have been using these tricks for last few months and I have not faced a situation where I have run out of ideas for my next post. It takes some time while searching, but it helps in keeping blog updated.
