Inspire Me - A Blog Owners Guide To Inspiration

Like most Bloggers there comes a time when you can’t think of anything to blog about. So what you need is some Inspiration! I have put together this guide of things to post about.

1. Review a site or blog - Just find another blog that is similar or related to your blogs topic and review it. It’s also a good idea to then send a link of your review to the blog owner. They might link to your review, which could get you some traffic.

2. Make a list - lists are very popular. Making them relevant to your blog is properly a good idea. Maybe a list of 10 Blogs you always read?

3. Post a picture - Find a picture you really like and get people to discuss it.

4. Interview Someone - Email them asking if they mind being interviewed and that you will send them a few questions via email.

5. Post a Video - search on youtube or something similar for a video related to your blog topic and post it. You can then write about your views on the video.

6. Ask Other People to Write a Post - Message people from your niche and invite them to write a post for you. Perhaps they run a website or even ask a real life friend. You do still have some of those, don’t you? *Grins*

7. Create a Poll - Loads of sites offer free voting polls. Just sign up and make one then post them on your blog. This can be helpful for market research.

8. Have Time Off - Go out and do something then you can come back inspired and ready to write!

I hope these inspired you with some ideas!

I like these ‘blogging ideas, because they’re coming at the ‘blogging thing from a out-and-out social angle.

The key thing here is to follow them through.

I’ve had people ask me for an interview, and to review my ‘blog, all to no avail…

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the post. The only one I haven’t really done, is interview someone. Now that has me sparked. Words inspire me. Words put together to form music. That inspires me, and whenever I encounter those, well I am off to the post again.

Think you could add, listen to beautiful music, however you define beautiful music.

Nick.
