The one thing about blogging is that after awhile, it can be difficult to come up with interesting topics that people will want to continually read. Sooner or later the ideas dry up and you may sit there and wonder where the new ones will come.
This happens to me more than I care to admit, so here are a few things that help me recharge my well of ideas:
Current Events
Often picking up the paper or checking the news online is an easy way to come up with quick topics. Especially, with the market crashing, there are topics aplenty.
Previous Posts
Looking through previous posts can trigger your memory and you may want to elaborate on something you've already written.
Something Unrelated
Do a post on something personal or a topic that is not related to your blog. I think I might do a post on movies sometime. I really love movies.
Take a Break
Take a break - burnout could be setting in and it might be wise to pause and reflect. But don't take too much time off - fickle blog readers might not come back to your site!
Guest Postings
Have someone else do a post on your site. It will give you a break plus it will be interesting for you readers to hear from someone else for once.
I actually like to schedule my posts ahead of time so that I never run out of ideas but sometimes with life being hectic and busy, it can still be difficult.
At the end of the day, inspiration is all about perspiration - that means you have to put the time and work in!
