Do you find that the hardest part of getting a new niche blog up and running is getting past the first few posts? I find that once ive got my blog together, got a decent theme in place, some posts and backlinks that it becomes a bit easier, once its taking shape its like it encourages you to build it up. But i find the start of it usually gives me a slight feeling of "bloody hell"
I would argue that you need to have a certain number (say, at least a dozen) posts pre-prepared for a new niche blog, precisely to avoid this kind of "what do I write about now?" feeling. If you are lucky, you will be able to ration using your pre-prepared posts, as comments and backlinks will give you ideas for new material. But if not, you at least have those pre-prepared posts to fall back on.
Something that ive found useful for new post ideas is visiting related forums to see what questions are being asked, also stats give a few clues too.
Please excuse me...I know that rewrites is not a good idea....But what your opinion ? - if you starting a niche blog filed by rewrite posts and artilces? I saw many of them when I was surfing the web and they get pretty much of traffic and page rank...
It depends. If you are writing about a similar topic but from your own perspective it should be fine. If you want to build a loyal following of readers you should try to write original content (although that's easier said than done).
