I don’t have content to write! Now what?

I don't have content to write! Now what?Blogger writes lot of posts every week and put themselves in that condition when they don’t have any content to write. Without content, it become hard for blogger to keep traffic coming. Copy someone else’s content? Of course no, that’s not good for your blog reputation at all. So, what to do in that type of situation? There are many things you can do to get fresh topics to write. Here are some tips to get content.

Stop thinking about Blogging

Yes, you heard me right. Stop thinking about blog and go out some place where you always love to go. Because more you will think about your blog, more you will get tense. Go out with friends and have party and play games.

Doing other than blogging, will give you new topics to write. Whenever I don’t have content, I start playing and during that time, I mostly get my topics to write.

You might wondering, how does that help? Take for example, you are playing with friends and suddenly you think that “How does friends can help me?” and then topic come up in mind like this “How does friends can help you in Blogging?”.

Getting content isn’t hard. What you have to do it, stop thinking about content.

Charge your mind to Create your own content

Stop doing whatever you are doing and charge your mind by getting fresh air.

Creating content is easy. When you create content, make sure that it is unique. For example, start writing something like, “Monday Blogging Tips” – means you will give some newbie tips for blogger on every monday or “Monthly WordPress Plugin” – means you will post list of recommended wordpress plugins at the end of month or “Updated WordPress Tricks”.

You can review other blogger or take interview of successful blogger. There is no limit for creating content.

You got my point. Just charge your mind to create creative content ideas. You can make more than one ideas like this to write.

Create new “personal” blog

You might wondering that, I don’t have content to write and you are giving us to create new personal blog. Guys, that’s why I added “Personal” in title.

Having personal blog has its own advantage. You can post whenever you want and whatever you want. When you don’t have content to write for your professional blog, start typing anything on your personal blog. Trust me You will get some content.

You can read my post on “Why you should have personal blog?

Start reading newspaper, comics or magazine

Newspaper, comics and magazine are full of content. Of course, they will be based on type of comics and magazine, but you start comparing with your blog niche, you will start getting content.

reading newspaper for content

Take a simple example. When you are reading magazine about food. You read one article on “Things you need to do after you eat fat food”. Now think about your blog content and start comparing this idea to your blog topics. You will definitely get topic where you can write something using that title. For instance “5 important things to check after you make brand new blog.”

You can read other’s blog which are not your type of blog niche. You can do same thing as I mentioned for magazine and comics. Compare topic and think about post to write in your blog niche.

Reading different stuff can give you fresh and unique topics to write.

Watch movies, documentary or TV shows.

TV shows, Documentary and Movies are great resource for blog content. Every movie has something to teach you and every TV show has something to tell you.  You can use different ideas and topics to write in your niche.

You can take any TV actor or Movie actor and use his name in topic and make new post, such as “10 things I learned about blogging from Tom Cruise”.

Read comments on other blog

Don’t unsubscribe from my blog, because I told you to read comment from other blog. Guys, if you read other blog comments, you will definitely find many comments with questions. You can address their question as your blog post.

I have read many comments where visitor ask some question and blogger doesn’t respond to their question, because they have no idea what to reply. Their questions can be your content.

I used this strategy in my old blog. One of person asked on other blog that how to make author box more attractive in blogger. He didn’t responded and I wrote post on it. I got nice feedback from visitors.

Using visitor’s questions can be your topics to write, so start reading comment on other blogs.

Now what?

Do you have any other idea to get content, you use for your blog? If yes and want to share with us, feel free to leave it in comments, because it can be helpful to be someone.
