Up Fuel Quick Blogging Tip #6: Simple steps to never suffer from writers block again
Two simple steps:
One of the ways I ensure that I never run out of topics to write about is because of the way I keep track of post ideas. The first thing you need to do to generate more post ideas is to keep blogging in your mind throughout the day. By making an effort to think about topics to write about throughout the day you�ll be able to generate a lot more ideas than if you just sit down at your computer with the intent to blog.
Now that you are thinking about topics and ideas to write about on your blog it�s important that you find a way to keep track of your ideas. Regardless of where I�m at during the day or what I happen to be doing, I will always take time to record a post idea. If you�re forgetful like me and don�t take the time that second to write down the idea you may forget about it.
How I generate most of my ideas:
When I�m walking from the bus stop to the building I work at, people are rarely around me and it allows me to take some time to really contemplate ideas for my blog. As soon as I think of an idea I open up my phone and record the post headline and idea into a voice memo.
Other times I�ll be at work and an idea for a post will pop into my head. I�ll write a quick email to myself with the post topic and one sentence on the idea and send it off.
If I don�t have computer access or my phone handy and an idea comes to me whether by something I�ve seen or simply a thought process that has come to mind I�ll find a piece of paper or constantly repeat or think about the idea non stop until I can get to a computer. Yes, I’m that forgetful 😉
Final thoughts:
The point is that by thinking about your blog on a daily basis and recording ideas as they come to you it will be a lot easier to sit down and write your posts. At this time I have about 14 post titles sitting in my WordPress control panel waiting to be written. I already have a general idea and direction from these posts and if I ever experience a lack of ideas I can rely on the post titles I’ve set out for myself. These post titles and ideas have all come while during my daily habit of making a concentrated effort to think about ideas to write on and never from just sitting down at the computer with the intent to blog.
How do you come up with topics to write about?
As I am a huge fan of Entrecard, they have been upgrading so the site is not fully functional. I have looked into so many alternatives but this is a huge, i mean huge, traffic generator that is simple, free and unbelievable results immediately! Once you take 6 minutes out of your day to copy and paste a few codes, then place a link on your site = finished = lifetime & millions of unique hits forever, so easy, so successful, take a glance-

a dropline is formed when the next site ads there blog, then its doubled when his guy ads there site, etc. doubles over and over again for each person who ads site to yours,
see where this is going? if you start w/ 1 penny and double it each day for a month, you ll have over $10,000,000.00 , so each webmaster ads their site and so on…
Thanks to this article and learning to write in advance has made me such a better blogger. Thanks!
Blogger are introducing a schedules post feature which will help. Get a bank of articles up together and get those automatically posted when you want them.
That is fine if you have to content to schedule…hence the point of this article.
yeah the more you are focusing on blogging the easier it get’s, it’s like we link to the blog always active and when a subject comes up it goes straight to, ‘oh that’s for my blog’. and of course writing a note is useful.. who isn’t forgetful…. lol
