People always ask me how I always to come up with new blog post ideas. I have been blogging for about 2 years now, writing at least 3 posts every single week. The good news is that I actually don’t run out of things to write about. If you have a blog or are considering starting one, here’s my advice for making sure you don’t run out of post ideas.
Never run out of Blog Post Topics
Make sure you’re in the right niche. If your blog is only a few months old, and you’re finding yourself constantly struggling to come up with something to write about, you might be in the wrong niche. Don’t get me wrong. It’s normal for everyone (myself most definitely included) to have off days or to get a little burned out and struggle from time to time to be inspired to write. However, if it’s always a total struggle, you just might not be passionate enough about your topic, be yourself, don’t do because others are doing, remain in your lane!. I LOVE blogging about anything around me so much that I really can write about them every week for years.
Keep a list
There is nothing less inspiring than sitting down at your computer to write a post that is due tomorrow with no previous plan of what you’ll write about. At least for me, doing that seems to completely zap all the ideas out of my head! Here’s what you should do instead. Anytime, anywhere a possible post idea comes to you, write it down immediately, even when am taking my bath, cooking, attending to my kids, reading etc , you must be inspired one way or the other. Don’t let any one of those ideas escape. That way when it comes time to actually sit down and write your post, you already have a big list of ideas ready to go.
List of Blog Post topics
Most times its also very good to ask your readers. This is probably one of the most helpful things you can do to ensure that you never run out of post ideas. Its gives you a great picture of what topics and advice your readers want to hear. Also, you can pay attention to what your target audience is saying (in blog comments, or on Facebook pages or groups.)
Look at headlines and magazines.
Looking at magazine headlines or post headlines can really help spark your creativity. For example, if I see any headline, I simply recreate and write about my own topic because you obviously can’t copy someone else’s title, and it’s just one more great title that you can’t use.
I’d love to hear from you. Do you struggle to come up with a new blog content? What are your tricks for never running out of ideas? Please share with me.

Lemme add one personal tip:
LOOK WITHIN
Sometimes, your blog post is right within you – your thoughts and feelings. You don't have to force it. Just let it out.
