Content Brainstorming
By - Milos Pesic
Face the fact - your
blog needs to be regularly updated to maintain its readership! Hence, you must
always find fresh topics to write about, and we're going to discuss how to do
just that in this article.
We have discussed how
to write attractively, so now we are going to discuss what we are going to write
on. The very first option that I think a blogger should write on is a topic that
he or she feels passionate and interested in. You've chosen to make blogging
your career because you want to escape a mundane job - forcing yourself to write
about something that you're not interested in is as torturous as as your mundane
job!
The other reason I
ask you to write about something you're passionate about is because your
feelings and emotion shows through your writings! If you feel indifferent to a
certain subject but still write about it just for the sake of it, your readers
will notice it. Remember the advice about writing with a personality? Forcing
yourself to write will not establish a welcoming style at all.
Once you have chosen
your main theme, start posting to your blog about it and make it a habit to post
at least once every day, even if it's only a comment on the newspaper article
you read today. Think of yourself as a gigantic train. It takes a lot of effort
to get you moving. First, you might just budge an inch, and later trudge slowly
on until you finally reach your full speed. Then, it'll take a lot of effort to
stop you instead!
However, no matter
how well you know your topic, your brain is bound to get exhausted over some
time, so here are methods to brainstorm for content for your blog.
1) The very best way
to brainstorm is to see what other bloggers have to say about stuff happening in
your field of discussion. And the very best way to find related blogs is to use http://blogsearch.google.com/
or www.technorati.com. There are other decent search tools too, you just have to
look around. From other blogs, you can gather more knowledge on your subject and
you can also comment on what others have to say on your own blog!
2)
Once you've established contacts with other bloggers in your field, you'll have
quite an unexhaustible "conversation" ongoing, so you'll not need to
actively search for content to write about. However, if you're still stuck,
search for news articles related to your niche in the local newspaper or online
through sites like http://news.google.com and http://news.yahoo.com.
3) You can also have
conversations with people with the same interest as you in the particular niche
you choose, so you will eventually build up a bank of questions and answers and
interesting discussions to write about in your blog. To do this, join forums
related to your niche, but don't join every forum there is out there. Stick with
one or two with the biggest number of members or the one which is most focused
on your niche. This will also come in handy much later in gaining traffic and
generating profits.
Remember to keep up
your momentum of posting at least once per day (or more if you have a lot of
content to write about) so that the major search engines will know that your
blog has fresh content everyday. This will attract the search engines to spider
your page on a more frequent basis, hence gaining you extra traffic.
Don't worry about the
paragraph above about generating traffic and search engines, because we're going
to talk about that in more detail later. For now, remember to keep a consistent
effort everyday and build up momentum like that of a locomotive!
