If you’ve been blogging for a while, chances are that you’ve hit that wall called “writer’s block”. Especially true if you have a regular blogging schedule that needs you to write in your blog every day of the week. If you crunch the numbers, six posts per week in 3 months means 75 posts. It’s not always easy finding 75 great post ideas, but here are a few ways that I do it:

1. Other blogs in your niche

Check out other blogs writing about the same topic as you, check their archives, see which are the posts that have the most comments or that are listed as most popular. It can give you a good idea of what people want to read. Read those posts, and write down some ideas on how you can improve on them. For example, if you draw inspiration from a post called “5 Ways To Gardening As A Hobby”, it can be improved by adding more ways, expanding on the ideas of existing ones, or simply starting from the partial title (i.e. 7 Ways To Get Started on Gardening and Live Stress Free). Careful though, don’t copy articles from others, just take inspiration, and quote them if you use some of their work.

2. The news

There are quite a few places that can help you get the latest news from your niche. You can subscribe to news on Google News, Yahoo, Technorati, Google Blog Search, by adding the RSS feed of your keywords of choice or subscribing by email. I do this for a few of the niches that I want to have the latest news.

3. Social Media

Places like Digg.com and Reddit.com are very good places to get a feeling of what people want to read. If you have a topic like gardening then those places might not be the best choice, but you can always look for niche social media sites that fit your blog.

4. Social Bookmarking

While Digg and Reddit are perfect to see what people vote up, StumbleUpon and Del.icio.us can be used to see what people bookmark and find interesting. You can search them by the tag of your choice, making it easy to find popular articles that relate to your topic of choice. What’s great is that they are used by people that have all kinds of interests, not just technology lovers, like the two most popular social media sites.

5. Life

All around you there are ideas that are just waiting to be found and written on whatever you have at your disposal. You just need some imagination to help you out. For example, seeing a mother and her little son holding hands can give you a title like “5 Games, Best Played With Adult Supervision”, if you have a gaming blog.

Whenever you have an idea, write it down immediately. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve lost an idea because I didn’t wrote it and forgot what it was. Carry a small notebook and a pen with you, and if you get the idea while driving, then better stop the car before you write it.
