5 Things to Do to Get Blogging Ideas

So you have a blog up and running.... then all of a sudden, you run totally dry of ideas. You no longer have anything interesting to write about. What do you do?

Well here are a few simple things that I do whenever I run out of ideas on what to write:

1. I read the newspapers or online news to find anything interesting that might be related to my niche area that I am blogging about.

2. Look through my last 10 postings. Under each posting, find some topic that is related to the posting which you could expand upon into a single post. Brainstorm and list down any topic that comes into mind which you feel that you have not properly discussed in your previous posting.

3. Read what other people are blogging about in your niche area. After reading their posts, try to see whether you agree with them or not. From there, you will be able to build up another post.

4. Type one of your targeted keywords into Google's all-powerful search engine and see what autocomplete phrases automatically form.

5. Try out Google Trends to see the latest things people are searching for.
