Coming up with new blog posts
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about using Bloglines to speed up your blog writing. That may be all you need if most of your posts involve linking to someone else’s and then offering insights of your own. But what if there’s nothing worth linking to today? What if you want to write something original, and your brain isn’t spawning new ideas by the truckload?
-
Go to the blogs of the feeds you read and look through their old posts for classics that are worth talking about again. Or ideas that sounded good at the time but didn’t pan out.
-
With a niche blog, you can find one particular blog that has great posts for you – but you don’t want to link to all 6,000 of its articles. So take the topic of each article – say, “how to build a better mousetrap” – and Google the topic. Find several articles to link to and talk about in your post, and suddenly you’ve created a little resource instead of just another link in the linkfarm.
-
Make a note of stuff you find yourself wondering about, or talking about, or hearing about or getting questions about. Do the research on these topics and write your posts.
- Writing for traffic
- Why people who blog about affiliate marketing eventually find better things to do
- Generating extra posts
- Content Creation
- Developing a blog audience that’s hungry for your content
