    I don't get it. I always struggle with thinking about what to write. What are some tips you can share?

    it depends on your niche. let say cooking is your topic. try and buy some recipe magazine. go through it and after that if you are lucky there might be an idea popping around

    Hey boaster,

    There are basically 3 ways to get content for your blog (I'm sure there are more, but these are 3 fundamental methods).

    1. You can write it yourself - this is a lot of hard work as you are finding out.
    2. You can get some PLR articles in your niche, completely or partially re-write them so that they will be unique. Although this is still a lot of work, it is way easier that coming up with information topics yourself.
    3. You can join one of the many public blog networks and have other people post their content on your site (this process is free). The drawback with this method is that they get to place backlinks to their site within the blog post. The bonus is that you don't have to do any work at all.

    If you want to use blog networks, I would recommend:
    - Free Traffic System
    - My Article Network
    - Syndicate Kahuna
    - SEO Link Vine

    Hope that helps,

    John Baril

    I think the best way is to get updates form good news sites and start writing related to your niche.

    It's pretty easy to come up with new articles when you have a passion about the topic.

    It depends on a few thing
    1. Any new news, features of products, any new thing happened.
    2. Usefulness of post, You must think before posting is it useful.
    3. Keeping traffic in mind, write the content that is new and drag more traffic.
    4. Using Social media optimization get the idea about what people are looking for and writing content in that direction.

    It depends on your blog niche. You may try "numbered" posts like Top 10 xxx, 20 Handpicked xxx.
