Finding Inspiration for Blog Posts

You wake up in the middle of the night. In you dream you know you had the grain of an idea. There was something in there that was going to make for the greatest blog post ever but you just can't quite put your finger on it again. It slips away into the night and it looks like you blog won't be updated for a while yet.

After the initial rush when you start your blog and you put all your great ideas out there then it can be quite difficult knowing where to go next. Unless your blog is one where you are reviewing products or supplying news or similar then at some point you are going to be struggling to see where to go next.

Well the first answer to that is to make sure that your blog is something that you have a passion for as it is possible to write about anything that makes your heart burn with joy and inspire your readers.

With passion you can turn an little idea into a big article that people will love. All you have to do is let it flow out of your heart.

The second thing is to start with the title. Just think of a question you or someone who reads your blog would like answered. Usually I just put down a title to get the ball rolling and close my eyes with my keys on the keyboard and then kaboom... the article just arrives on the page. The key here is to get the forward motion.

The third thing in order to get inspired or to think of new article ideas is to read and contemplate things outside of your circle of expertise and then try to translate those ideas into something that applies to your line of writing. Push your boundaries by thinking "what if I applied this concept to my line of expertise?"

Look outside and bring it in. Relax and let inspiration come to you. Let it flow. You already have the idea... just let it come out.
