I have been reading several posts about the difficulty of coming up with fresh new ideas for posts. Its true that you will encounter writers block from time to time but there will always be things to write about, in just about any niche you pick.
When picking the “How to Blog / Make money online niche” I knew I would be focusing on one area. But within that area there are so many subcategories that I can delve deep into. So when the creative juices are flowing I will sit down and start churning through a specific area, lets say SEO. From there I go into specific sub groups like link building, keyword density, and other topics related to SEO. I will sit there and come up with 10 ideas. Some may overlap of even be the same idea with a different twist. If I can I will keep going and write down 20 or even 25 ideas.
From there I will prioritize the list and get rid of a few that sounded great in the beginning that now have less appeal. Then I jot down some ideas for key points on each one that I think I may write a post for. Next I start writing and just letting the words pour out. Getting my first run at a rough article. I may do this for 5 different articles before I stop. Now granted I am saying this as it is one sitting which at this point I may have gone off and done other things for a while and returned with a fresh mind and new inspiration. Once I have a few articles done I go back through and start proofing and organizing. Before long I have a nice set of articles ready to post. Of course not posting them all at the same time I spread my content out and post during my normal posting interval (if I have one).
In order to do this you need to follow a few tips in order to be efficient and effective in your writing.
Block out any outside distractors - Close the door, close your email and messenger programs.
Get comfortable - Take your laptop to a nice cozy chair, put on some soft music to put your mind at ease.
Just let your thoughts come out- Start writing and don’t stop until your done. But make sure you stop when your done.
