    I'm thinking to start my own blog in near future.I will choose the niche in which I've good knowledge but the problem i have seen with most bloggers is that,after a certain period they come to a standstill where they think of what next to post.

    Each post should be unique so my question is how to find fresh and latest content on any niche (Example:Tech) .If there are no guest bloggers then managing blog single-handedly is a tough job

    So experience people do advice on this topic.

    You are right. The secret of success with blogging consists in posting regularly. It should never come to standstill. The content should also be unique for the traffic to rise on a regular basis.

    The first thing I suggest is to set up Google Alerts for the topic of your choice. This will send you updates about your topic on your choice of a schedule (daily, weekly, or as it happens). You can use this for ideas about your newest blog posts. You may see several items that interest you on any given day, and you can make note of those for several days' worth of posts. You will also see breaking news about your topic and get that information up on your blog in a timely manner.

    Looking at other blogs is a good idea to get some ideas (please don't plagiarize though!) I also look at EzineArticles and I get some ideas at times. This will work depending on your niche. Another way is to search for the latest news on the topic and you could blog about that. Of course, the best is to sit and think and something should certainly come to you :)

    You want to read/follow other blogs/sites in your niche. That will also give you a feel for what's hot and what's not.
    Keeping up with the News (anything new comes up) or social media can give you post ideas.

    Reads some Ezinearticles and see what others have posted. Just write about the same topic as them if you think it could work well for your site.

    I agree! One of the ways to not come to a stump when blogging is to always read up on your chosen niche. Reading articles, particularly news articles, about your niche will help you be on top of current information for your topic.

    Reading other blogs related to your niche and commenting on forums and similar blogs (this is great for backlinking too) is another way to get ideas to write about on your own blog.

    I would also suggest you to subscribe to categories which you're interested in to Digg, StumbleUpon, Technoratti, etc.

    If its a topic you have knowledge about, finding content should not be a problem.

    The real problem should be finding time to post everything that you have to say.

    when I make a blog post, I just sit down with an idea and start typing. Within a few minutes the article takes form and takes its own direction

    if you can't write, you better buy original articles other than using a automated blog writing software

    There is always something to write about technology. Every day a new gadget is released. You can review each of them. The problem you have mentioned comes to those who blogs about something like philosphy, personality develpment. For those interested in such things, I suggest designing a site rather than a blog.
