If your are a blogger then you have faced this problem sometime in your blogging career, if not many times. For new bloggers, 6-12 months, this often occurs sooner than later.
Every blogger has this challenge at one point or another. In fact I often have "bloggers Block". Wondering where the next article is going to come from. This happens to the "newbies" as well as the seasoned "oldies".
Often when this happens I tend to go searching other blogs for ideas and inspiration. To this end I found this great article on Problogger, 7 ways to keep fresh content flowing on your blog. I refer you to read it for inspiration and some great ideas.
But I am going to list and summarize what he has said:
- Mind Mapping. Brainstorm ways that that topic can be expanded upon into numerous new topics.
- Involve Readers. Once you have an established readership get your readers involved. Guest Posts, Reader Questions, Community Written Posts.
- Explore new ‘Voices’. Experiment with new types of writing styles and posts.
- Update Previous Posts and Topics. Expand, update, improve or rewrite older post with fresh insight.
- Guest Posts. Certainly one way to keep the flow of content going.
- Hiring Writers. Another way to approach bringing others onto your blog as writers is to look at hiring a blogger (or team of bloggers) to help you create content for your blog.
- Develop an editorial calendar. Don't think of creating content one day at a time. Look ahead. Plan ahead.
These tips have certainly helped me in a time of blogging crisis. Hopefully you will find something that you can implement that will help you.
