Mind Freeze: What To Do If You Can’t Think of Anything To Write
You are going to go through stages when your mind will freeze up and you won’t be able to write anything for your blog. Often this will happen just after you have written your first sentence. Here are a few tips to get you writing again:
1) Go and read the latest posts on all the blogs you frequently visit. If you find an interesting post, write a few brief comments on the post and include the URL to the original post. Once you get into the habit of writing good articles, other bloggers will do the same for you.
2) Go to EzineArticles.com and search for articles related to your blog. Read as many as you can and write down any interesting points you could include in an article. Never copy text directly from any of the articles, just jot down the main points in your own words so you can expand them in your own article.
3) Go through the comments left on your own blog (or other related blogs) and jot down the main points of the questions being asked. Your answers will be the basis of an article.
4) Visit forums related to the theme of your blog and find questions being asked by members. Make a note of the questions and replies to these questions and write your own article based on the replies.
5) Once your blog starts receiving a good amount of traffic use the plugin by Survey Gizmo to employ surveys asking your readers which topics they would like to receive more information on. You can write articles based on the results.
6) Go to any of the social bookmarking websites and find popular bookmarks for sites with a similar theme to your blog. Make a note of the most popular topics and then visit the bookmarked pages. Take notes on the points covered in the articles on the various pages and use them as the basis for your own articles.
7) Go though your own blog posts, especially the more popular ones and figure out whether you have missed anything. Make a note of the missing points and write an article covering them. Remember to add a link to your original post in the new article.
Finally, when all else fails, “how to” articles and blog posts are some of the most sought after, linked to, and bookmarked content online. Pick an important process related to your blog’s theme and explain how to do it…
To Your Success,
