It all starts with a will to help others and give them a solution to their problems. One of the ways you can help yourself a lot, as well as other Wealthy Affiliate members, is by showing them how you solved your issues, and also, what new information resonated with you and why.
My last (now erased) blog was about one website and why it gave me tons of awesome ideas and approaches, but I was promoting the site in a way, thus violating WA rules. Apologies for that, no bad intentions.
I should have done that different way, and will occasionally. I should've written out each and every reason why that site helped me, focusing on the help/information and not on the site. The great thing is that most of us surfs to find many solutions to our problems, just like I do, and we come across many awesome websites and resources.
This is where it clicked me that you may have a decent, always present source of ideas for your WA blogs - instead of linking to the site, write what information resonated with you and why. Be specific. That way you'll clear yourself plenty of things, as well as provide some value to others.
For example, you find a site teaching how to earn money on squidoo. Don't link to it and write about the site, rather write about everything that site's telling about. Promote the information, not the source. Think about 10 problems you solved for yourself today. How did you find the solution and what other information have you found valuable?
Then simply write a blog post about that, or 10 of them. Perhaps even more, but the principle is quite clear - point out all the major topics of the process of your issue solving. Then write about each, and soon you'll have quality posts everyone wants to read and follow!
