Deciding on what to write about on your blog can be very difficult for people, especially if you are new to blogging. Even if you have been a blogger for some period of time, the day will always arise when you just can't think of what to write. This has happened to me when I am very tired, have just finished writing several articles on unrelated topics, or have just completed an eBook or short report, regardless of the topic.
There are several good ways to remedy this situation. One way that I use to have fresh new content on my blogs at all times is to ask other people to be guest bloggers. This gives them an opportunity to write about what they are doing and to share their expertise with a whole new group of readers. I tell them to promote whatever they like, and be sure to include information on where the readers can find out more about them in the future. It is a win-win-win for me, the other blogger, as well as the readers.
Another way is to go to an article directory, such as Ezine Articles, and find articles in the categories that would be a good fit for your blog. Anyone who publishes their articles in these directories is giving their permission for the articles to be used on other sites, such as blogs, websites, and in ezines.
The only rule you must adhere to is that you must include the person's resource box from the end of the article, which includes information about them and the link to their site, or to wherever they wish for the reader to go once they have read the article. I find the best written and most compatible articles, and then use them on my own blogs. This again helps me, the writer of the article, and the readers.
The third way to find new ideas to write about on your own blog is to read other blogs on your topic, which you should be doing anyway, and write blog posts that discuss the other person's post. You can include a link to that exact post, which is called the permalink (short for permanent link). Also, you may want to send a trackback to the author of the other blog, letting them know you have discussed their post on your blog. This is a great way to connect with the other blogger, which may lead to an even greater connection in the future.
These are three ways to write blog posts when you just cannot think of what to write about any other way, and they are all beneficial to others at the same time. This makes your blog even better, and increases your credibility and visibility at the same time.
