You might wonder how some bloggers manage to stay inspired and to find new blog topics effortlessly while others (like you) struggle to find new ideas.
However, the truth of the matter is that many of those prolific bloggers didn’t start off that way.
Just like you, those prolific bloggers had periods of time when they couldn’t come up with great blogging ideas and when they no idea where to look for inspiration.
The difference between you and them is that they figured out how to overcome this problem.
If you want to overcome this problem, all you have to do is find reliable sources of great blogging ideas and then tap them periodically to make sure you don’t run out of material.
Below, you’ll learn Part 1 of 7 useful strategies you can employ to get great blog post ideas:
1. Ask Your Readers
Not surprisingly, your readers know what they want to read about more than anyone else. This is precisely why any attempt to generate new blog topics should begin with a frank discussion between you and your blog readers.
Don’t think you have a list of readers to ask? Are you doing the Social Medial routine? If note, ask for help – just right in the comment box below, and we can talk about what can help you!
If you use WordPress or a blogging platform that permits it, consider using a plugin to conduct two different polls.
— The first poll should ask what direction readers would like your blog to move towards in the long run.
— And the second question you should ask is which topic they would like you to discuss in an upcoming feature piece. You might consider creating a new poll for the second question on a monthly basis.
In addition to soliciting readers’ advice through polls, you may also want to explicitly ask them to tell you what you should write about through comments or in an email. This will give them greater freedom to explain what they would like to see on your blog. It also helps in relationship marketing!!
Finally, if you do not already own a blog, you could start by soliciting this type of advice on relevant niche forums or through your email list. Explain what you plan to do and then ask what people would like to read about.
