Hi Everyone,

Hope you’re all ok and feeling productive.

A short message from me today.

I am rarely lost for words but, I see here on WA that some folks are.

Where do I get ideas for blogs?

What will I write about?

What kind of blogs will rank?

There are many places and ways that we can find inspiration and ideas of what to blog about. Whatever your niche is, you can find any number of blog subjects all around you in your daily, home, family, work life and your social media.

Workbased Ideas

My niche is also my full time job so while I am working, ideas and thoughts pop into my head. If I encounter a problem that is work based it will inevitably turn into a blog post on my website because I think that if I need information on something then maybe my readers will appreciate the same information.

Conversations with my clients, again often lead to to a blog idea.

So if your niche is also to do with your work you have 100’s of blogs at your fingertips.

• Client needs and requests
  
• Conversations with clients and/or colleagues
• Workbased problems and solutions
• Work Tasks

Hobbies and Interests

A niche that is your passion such as hobbies and your personal interests also offer up many areas to find blog ideas. Conversations with like minded people who share your interest will most likely set your mind to thinking about blogs.

I get a monthly magazine that is to do with my passion of gardening, my first thought now when it arrives is “great, more blog ideas”. I love it though if I have beaten them to it and I already have published a post who’s subject then appears in the magazine. This proves to me that I chose a topical subject.

Family and friends who encourage or chat about what you are doing.

Products that you personally use for your hobby, suddenly turn into a product review. Items that wish to use or source also make for an informative post.

• Hobby Magazines
• Products you use
• Products you need to source
• Discussion with family, friends and like minded people about your hobby
• Advertisements and commercials

Further Inspiration

Google, find what others are asking about certain ideas you think of. Other ideas come from all walks and areas of life. Just the other day, a comment on one of my published posts offered up another idea.

Question about your posts, if several readers are asking similar questions then clearly further information is required.

• Information requests
• Topical
• Seasonal/festival products or subjects
• Questions
• Website Comments
• Search Engines

Socail Media is also a great place to find inspiration, I get a lot of questions on Twitter and Facebook about issues based around my niche, ergo a blog post in the making or I should say in the writing.

Don’t be lost for words, inspiration, ideas and subjects are all around you.

Well this was meant to be a short message but I got carried away, sorry.

Happy Writing

Louise
