As a blogger you'll likely always be looking for ways to improve your writing simply because better content helps you get more traffic! On the other hand over time you're bound to lack ideas for something to blog about due primarily to the frequency with which you write! This can become a real problem unless you take measures to overcome the periodic and inevitable writers block!
Here are 3 quick tips to help you develop new ideas so you can write better content thus enabling you to get more traffic to your site!
Stop Staring At Your Screen
First and foremost always remember your computer is simply a 'tool' you use for blogging! Far too many people become 'enslaved' to sitting in front of their computer when trying to find something to blog about! Now you can find ideas for helping you develop better content on the internet, but many times it's best to simply step away! The reason for this is that the longer you 'stare' at a blank screen waiting for your creative juices to gush forth with new ideas the more likely writers block will set in! You need something to 'stimulate' your thinking and a piece of computer hardware is not likely to do so! Get out and walk about to relieve the tension and stress that builds when trying to 'force' a new idea out of your head and on to the computer screen!
Record Ideas
Many times your best ideas come to you while you're engaged in other activities and NOT positioned at your work station! In fact count on this happening and therefore always have yourself prepared to record any new or useful thoughts that come to mind! Here too you are usually at your creative best when relaxed and 'exposed' to random stimuli that can and will prompt thoughts you can use for posting to get more traffic to your blog! You do NOT have to be 'chained' to your work station to develop better content for your readers!
Maintain Your Social Schedule
Having an active social schedule helps expose you to how others think or what is important to them! It is always a good policy to put your 'listening ears' on to better hear what others have to say since it usually gives you something to blog about! Quite frankly if what you hear is on the minds of those close to you or in your 'social circles' you can bet that others feel the same way! These topics always tend to make for better content since they are current and pressing issues or interests of the public at large!
Over time as a blogger you'll need to find ways to improve your writing because the more you blog the harder it becomes to find something to blog about! Yup, writers block is like a virus you just can't avoid and if you intend to get more traffic to your site posting better content will do just that! The 3 tips offered above are intended to help any blogger break the 'trance' of writers block thus allowing them to create better content and get more traffic! Remember blogging is a long term process that will occasionally find you at a loss for something to blog about so plan your counter strategy now!
